With results day around the corner, the pressure is on - for students, parents, and teachers.
But one message stands out: results don’t define you.
Thousands of teachers are saying it and they’re speaking from experience. Here's what they told us 👇

How disinformation infects debate:
72% of Britons who want immigrants to leave, and 47% of all Britons, think there are "much more" or "somewhat more" illegal immigrants in Britain vs legal.
Numbers?
Legal: 10.7m (2022 UK Census)
Est. illegal: 750,000 (Oxford Mirrem Project)
So, legal 14x higher

I guess this one is a Science teacher joke.
I know Maths teacher jokes too.
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
Remember laughter is good for you, even when the jokes are bad.

Hollywood and History. In "A Bridge Too Far" American paratroopers, who have heroically crossed the Waal River, capture the Waal Bridge, before British tanks cross it. Fact: the tanks crossed the bridge before the Americans attacked it.

Chances are that if you have *not* read my two books on Market Garden, you do *not* have all the facts to form a serious and modern opinion about the battle. Please buy them. See pre-jump.nl.

The word “engineer” comes from the medieval Latin word “ingeniator,” which comes from “ingeniare” meaning clever; native talent. It sounds like the original engineers were known for their creative cleverness and ingenuity.

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n
