He certainly does have a lot to answer for. A man who still pushes eugenics and believes people of colour are less intelligent than the master race. I think there is a word for people like that. www.theguardian.com/news/2018/ma...

Lucy Bronze’s mother is a maths teacher and, keen on mathematics herself, Bronze received a bronze award in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Challenge. Maths will win the euros!

#mathematics Looks like one to read if not for the Mathematics then for a greater appreciation of Islam.

#maths. AQA 2020 A level question. Surely the first line is incorrect. That gives a value for a sum of certain terms. The series is given by Ur=(4r+1), 4<r<21. Its sloppy use of notation.

Well AA isn’t really an AI engine. Try Chat GPT I put this in - its a 18th century will in old cursive script and asked for a transcript…. Took less than 30 seconds It is also being a big help in my learning Spanish. I also had a genealogical conundrum…. Great aunt lived in small Essex village/

I can’t see the OP as I seem to be blocked but this is just a further move at control and authoritarianism we see in our schools since academisation and corporatisation. Overpaid under qualified CEOs needing a cover for their incompetence. Education doesn’t come into it. Control control control.

That is good to hear. We hear little of that here. I did hope the Washington Post might do a watergate but now Bezos owns it no chance. It must be bloody awful. In the meantime…

When you read this idiot on Shitter, and go through the replies you really get close to understanding how that nation elected the most stupid man alive to lead them. Jesus, Mary and Joseph what a tosser.

Linguists…..So what tense is “I would have been doing”? Past Conditional continuous? So “If I do…” is present subjunctive? Etc

Here’s a strange one. Got a follow from this person. I followed back. She thanked me. Then blocked me! What’s that all about then?

Thank you Katriona. Here just two paragraphs from the final chapter.

It isn’t often books make me cry, but this did. Not the awfulness of Katriona’s early life, but in the clarity with which her anger comes through in the Epilogue. This is a book for all teachers to read - and it isn’t often I read a book straight through.
