@adamboxer1 We are being careful with correlation and causation right?

@greeborunner @ateachertype @Headteacherchat Thank advisors would be separate, as they are now.

@greeborunner @ateachertype @Headteacherchat It's not being judged on if the support works. We are all on the same team in theory. If things are still not up to standard then further action to be taken.

@colps5 @RogersHistory Crime and hospital waiting lists have come down. Crimes in parliament, not really sure what your relative measure is. Pot holes peak and fall, normally due to weather. The rest is inflation.

Anyone know if the website that these came from still exists? Can't remember it's name!

Which maniac snuck X^2-136x+4623=0 on to the solving quadratics sheet.

Pretty much every council has made a pie chart for you to look at. Hope this helps.

@prescottmaths I used to rush between rooms with a pencil block with 32 pencils, pointy side up. Added an extra element of danger. The risk of dying painfully in a busy corridor kept me alert and gave me the edge when I arrived after my class at the next classroom.
Hope that helps.

@JamesJkbowen Haha I thought you were wading into the 'should you give the pupils a pen' debate a week late. If you were, don't worry, it will be back round in 6 months.

@mrallanmaths 11 - tenty one

Better system.

@SamanthasDoodle @MoosicTeech @Positivteacha @ElimuAnn Delivery driver paid per item rather than by the hour?

[Maths Starters @mathsstarters]

@SamanthasDoodle @MoosicTeech @Positivteacha @ElimuAnn You asked for an example without fixed hours.

I have been discussing UK teaching contracts. Total working hours are not defined. Don't know about US teaching contracts.

[Maths Starters @mathsstarters]

@kristinawrites2 @Positivteacha I presumed you meant move within the UK. Was surprised at a state UK school with that many lessons and curious about their school day. ...I see you are from Texas.

[Maths Starters @mathsstarters]

@MoosicTeech @SamanthasDoodle @Positivteacha @ElimuAnn Definitely. A teachers day doesn't stop at 3:30. Your contract doesn't define what hours are paid or unpaid. I would expect some hours outside of 6.5 a day though. My original comment was saying that hours outside of PPA to do planning is reasonable.

[Maths Starters @mathsstarters]

@jld1119 @Positivteacha Have to generalise to get rough percentages. Most school days are 6.5 hours long but that includes non lesson stuff. I wasn't including after school clubs.

[Maths Starters @mathsstarters]

@MoosicTeech @SamanthasDoodle @Positivteacha @ElimuAnn Part of the issue is that there is always more to do, unlike fitting a kitchen. It is reasonable to work more than 6.5 hours a day.

@kristinawrites2 @Positivteacha What time did the children start and leave school?
