Got to admit I'm disappointed my twins don't seem to be coming tonight. How cool would it be if the older one ended up being legally younger than the younger one due to daylight savings? Ok not that cool

At my school we have been asked to redesign our KS3 assessments so that the results will follow a normal distribution. Instinctively this feels like a bad idea. Maths teachers: what do you think? Anyone done this?

Someone write me a message I can send to the mum of the girl I tutor who forgot to turn up to online tuition today, wasting my time. I'm not sure of the etiquette here.

I'm setting target grades today for year 12 and for the first time we've been given each student's average GCSE grade as a way of helping us decide. Huge eye opener! Everyone has a 7-9 in maths but average GCSE grade varies from 4.33 to 9.00! Seems a very good indicator so far.
