Someone kindly posted a link to a maths questions in biology booklet during the last two weeks; it was great, but I can’t for the life of me find it (it would be really useful for my Yr 13s ). Anyone able to direct me to it? 🤞🤞

My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife. I stand by him wholeheartedly Pls share crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…

I know i shouldn’t bother looking at comments linked to any teacher story in the Daily Fail, but this is unbelievable; teaching is for married women to get pin money……

Thank you to those who recommended Tradescantia instead of stomatal peels - it was the first time I have ever (and I’ve been teaching a longggggg time) heard the words ‘that’s sick’ being linked to plant biology by an entire Yr 11 class #biologycanbefun

Schools blasted for suggesting children might be picked up early as it would be cooler in the airconditioned classrooms - my classroom is air-conditioned in exactly the same way it was ventilated during COVID mitigation - windows open and door open 🤦🏻‍♀️🥵
I’m confused - how is a meeting secret if it’s reported in the press? 🤷‍♀️
Why bother with school if GCSEs can just be won like a prize in a raffle?!
It’s a bit convenient that the PM is now deciding to follow the guidance 🤔#BorisJohnson
Just chatting to one of my son’s friends about his girlfriend; ‘I’m seeing Holly, you know the one with, it’s not ginger hair, I know it’s bourbon hair’! 🤣🤣
So, I can teach loads of children each lesson in my classroom, but I’m not allowed to chat with a colleague in the same empty classroom 🤦🏻‍♀️

Apparently the rain is very wet?! 🤦🏻‍♀️
Is @GaryLineker taking over the air waves? He’s on BBC and ITV. At. The. Same. Time?!
#strictly - what’s happened to Tilly?!

Systematically most of our plans for a fun Christmas have crumbled in front of our eyes in the last two days: travel restrictions/ isolating and shielding have put paid to that. 🤦🏻‍♀️
I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason I’ve avoided COVID is because I’m pretty antisocial 🤷‍♀️

Just covered a lesson - one lad without a face mask as he is exempt; fine I understand that, but his sister is at home having tested positive 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
