Observing one of our brilliant ECTs today teaching AS Chemistry and this exchange between 17 year olds made my week:
"OK, yes that's why it's right"
"It's so fun when you get it in the end, isn't it, like maths."
"I know, you just suddenly feel so great about yourself."

Great thread Laura, we just had this conversation with out heads of faculty as we were noticing the same interchangeable use.

What an incredible way to start a Thursday. An essential listen for all educators. Are we ploughing through the curriculum regardless of whether learning is sticking? Excellent messages and discussion. Bringing together all of our learning, thank you.
