After 6+ months of back & forth with OCR over last summer’s GCSE maths exams, this complaint has been upheld by Ofqual. It’s not enough. OCR must go further & re-mark. Many students have lost out! @Miss_Snuffy you’ll be very interested! ocrmaths2025bounds.netlify.app

Something for those #coremaths lessons
ROBERTS: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their product. So it raises the question -- how much of last night's speech was hyperbole?
LUTNICK: No. What he's saying is if a drug was drug down to $13, if you're looking at it from $13, it's down 7 times
ROBERTS: It's not a 600% cut
LUTNICK: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now. So $13 would have to go up 700% to get back to the old one. So it all depends on when you look at it.

None of the exam boards really want to introduce online exams at scale - they’ll be expensive, time-consuming and with a good chance of going wrong (95% right wouldn’t be good enough, probably not even 99%), and they carry a large risk of reputational damage

Ofqual too have shown themselves to be reluctant about online exams. They (and by extension the DfE and Secretary of State) will get the rap if the online exams, most likely, go wrong and the exam board(s) will get the credit if they go right

The best option for existing exam boards would be for there to be an a separate start-up boutique online exams only board - then if the exams go wrong, they take all the blame and disappear, but if exams go right, the other boards can fight to buy it out

Parking metres? About five for a regular space these days
🟠 Look after the penny and the pound will look after itself...
One couple took this saying to the extreme, being accused of stealing €1m in loose change by taking coins out of parking metres
