Anyone else here teach OCR Lit? The Macbeth extract question was dreadful: Lennox and Lords. Badly worded. Awful. Possibly written by someone who has been out of teaching for a long time? @teachingocreng @OCREnglish

We’re pretty committed to going international teaching in September 2027. Who do I follow for tips, what do I need to do, what advice can current international teachers give me? I want to be fully prepared and aware!

A long shot, I know, but please share. My brother died on Boxing Day, and his beloved bike has been stolen. It is of tremendous sentimental value and we are desperate to get it back to his widow, who promised she would never get rid of it. A silver Reilly. Stolen Ruislip, Middx

By definition 50% of schools will always be below average, even though which ones they are may change. Just as by requirement a third of pupils will always 'fail' GCSE. Time for more sophisticated judgements.
