Blasted orcs! Time the elves showed up.

GCSE for those who choose it, but some low stakes performing arts for everyone else. Not everything should lead to assessments and qualifications. Participation, and enjoyment should be rewarded and simply documented with a certificate

So much effort just to get a selfie with a convicted felon.

I’m autistic and ADHD. It’s not a disease, its not a condition, it’s not a privilege, it’s not a curse. It is an identity in itself and it is who I am. It cannot be caused or cured with paracetamol anymore than any other human identity. I am only disabled when I am discriminated against.

6k this morning!

Ok

Extended certificate. I think I’m teaching 1.5 hours a week and my department head the same, so only 6 hours a fortnight. I still haven’t got my head around my timetable though. New school after 18 years! Good to change.

Pearson. Y13 are doing the old spec and we’re bringing the new one in with Y12. We don’t have enough teaching hours to sit all three exams by May 2026 for Y12, do we’re thinking of doing course work first. This could be a very good or a very bad idea. I wish I knew which.

… haven’t worked my head around Btec level 3 yet. Any tips about whether to start with content first or coursework first on the new spec?

KS4 biology, chemistry, physics, A Level physics, Btec Applied Science

Congratulations Kate! I’m starting to teach this course next year and your post came up in my search.

Still looking … I’ll be back shortly

But I am referring specifically to the ‘social model of disability’ rather than the social context. Recommended: www.amazon.co.uk/Autism-Not-D...
