My geography teacher at school went on Going for Gold and got a basic question about rivers wrong. Our Welsh teacher let us watch in class, I don't think she liked him.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

TV quiz shows are high pressure environments! It’s very easy to go to pieces. :))

Isn’t there also a shortage of science teachers? Cube didn’t have one for nearly 18 months.

Triple maths? Is that Maths, Further Maths and Statistics? At our high school, Stats is offered (by invitation) as an additional after school class in Yr10 so they sit it early.

The SAM did further maths. Nothing could persuade N.

Yes. And maths. And loads of others tbh. Our head of science is off and we've had a sequence of weird supply teachers for the past 6 months.

I bloody love it when people you respect tell you they hate other people. My PhD supervisor hates everyone, and I love her more for it. It helps that they’re all the people I hate.
