@johncosgrove405 In my town the poorest chn have the strict schools and the middle classes just have regular, measured relational discipline. Poorer schools do well on value added but I feel military discipline is a bit much for some chn. Poorer chn have further to move on VA.

@Mr_H1978 @Strickomaster @NabarroNat @m_chiles @greeborunner What do we mean by elite? So many big employers doing institution blind recruitment and also do 2:2s even make the cut? Are we looking at personalised small firms and networking especially after unpaid internships?

@RevRichardColes You are in Bristol surely?

@KatieKates_84 But so much excitement about asking chn questions, getting them to recall stuff learnt earlier and asking the whole class to tell you a fact in unison - where have all these excitable people come from?

@mikercameron This is the thing - all of them - stupid and assuming we are too and we won't notice their lies and corruption.

@RE_McGEE So tidy in the garden. I have been pulling out damp floor boards- leak - and I am filthy!

@C_Hendrick @HughesHaili My failing as a learner is that I can't stand video lessons. Can you give me the gist? I am not sure we ever forget stuff - if we had forgotten it, we couldn't retrieve it. We would have to relearn it - that's not retrieval.

@Mr_Raichura Have you read The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner? Recommended!

@Rich00153 @BernadetteEakin Chapeau!

@WoodMeena @Doug_Lemov No dictionary defines it the way he does.

@BernadetteEakin Less time in purgatory. I worked mine off with thousands of exam papers.

@frkevinnotts @BernadetteEakin No - I know de la Salle very well - not his vibe. Catherine of Siena. Definitely a woman.

@BernadetteEakin I used to do 160 but only the Islam question - my lovely colleague did Christianity and a very heroic colleague did themes! Sending strength!

@bridget_ali @Mat_at_Brookes Yes - I hated it as a class reader! A poor relation of The Secret Garden.

@johncosgrove405 @likesretirement I prided myself on my humour in the classroom. Sinful I am.

@joeAlane seems there's a trend!

@likesretirement @johncosgrove405 Crook?

@LFK_Teach @Strickomaster Quite - there should be a legal compliance check and then a process whereby the great experts might listen to aspirations and then give some hands on help towards attainable goals.
