Books are an extension of working memory; not a revision guide. 👍

This was an excellent way to start a chemistry lesson by the way. Hundreds of questions just like this stored within @Carousel_Learn, let me know if you'd like to look around. Summer term is best time to start thinking about it!!

I found this under the cellar steps to our new house. It was built in the 1860s. Anyone know what it is?

A public service announcement to those who think teacher bloggers who favour knowledge, explicit instruction and excellent behaviour are all in bed with the Tories: This government is made of the very worst kind of people who are both malicious and incompetent. Happy now?

More evidence that education academics do not understand the basics of scholarship. I’m going to stop reading any physics papers that reference any of Einstein’s work henceforth. Any mathematicians that use the decimal number system can also get in the bin.
