It's becoming very obvious that generative AI is making all forms of non-exam assessment totally obsolete. It's a threat to the integrity of education everywhere. It's not that hard to solve though - we just need more handwritten & in-person exams! substack.nomoremarking.com/p/how-should...

You can't use one assessment for multiple purposes - it gets pulled out of shape. That's what happened to GCSEs when they were used for all kinds of purposes they weren't designed for. Things are a bit better at secondary now - but what about primary?

Good post. FWIW it is ok to just say that some teachers talk for too long whilst not undermining the value of teacher talk. We all do it, often because we lose track of time or think we are being helpful by giving more details. We expect a lot of pupils in terms of focus, so we should be mindful.
