Big Q: my HoD is worried that given the #edexcel grade boundary hike last yr (esp at G6) more schs might put more kids in for F rather than H, and this will hike grade boundaries yet again. He is considering moving to #AQA. I know it should be fair, but poss isn’t? Thoughts please! #mathstoday

I'm wondering if there are any teachers who wear hearing aids at work? I do, and it is starting to get harder to keep track of who is saying what; unfortunately some students are also finding it funny to make noises discreetly. Anyone got ideas?
