My cousin emigrated from his birthplace in Jamaica, to Florida. Last time he came to see us in the UK was in November 2024. He said even then he wouldn’t leave the country while Trump was in power, because there was a big possibility he wouldn’t be allowed back in. It’s awful.

I’m surprised a trusted friend or three isn’t specified in a profile document. Would also help school avoidance. In such a public place as a classroom, who’s by your side (physically and figuratively) is so important!

I reckon it simmers awkwardly with hilariously dark consequences all the way to 10pm NYE when they all go home to their families after realising they are far more important than bi-annual old friends who’ve grown apart.

We three ate dinner together (eldest now at Uni) and had such a giggle. I’ve reached the age now where I notice, and am thankful, which is a beautiful thing.

Just look at Q2. My fastest year 9s knew enough not only to generalise but then go on and try to prove it would always equal 1/3. Didn’t quite get there but that’s for another day.

I don’t put any marks on the papers at all. I collect the scores separately and have a feedback QLA ready for AFTER we have reviewed all the questions.
The only scores I show them is MY feedback - the summary of how the class performed on each question.
