So I got a rad meme mug as a farewell present today. Seems like my year 11s are still salty about a hard exam I gave them last year. Hopefully the alt text makes sense! #IBchemistry #Iteachchemistry #teacher #mug #meme #photomug #present

"It is inevitable to have uncertainties during experimentation, and it is important that they are aknowledged and calculated. So I will calculate them now and show them below."

Told my year 12s that next term is my last and they have to do semester 2, IB exams and graduation without me. This gif was their faces https://tenor.com/SMEd.gif

It is week 1 of IA week at school. I have been in the lab with year 12 chemists for 13 and a half hours in 3 days... The lab stays open from 2-5pm so I am doing long days. This year are by far the neediest students we have had in my time at this school. Only a week and a half to go!

So my referees are being contacted and I have been shown a salary number that suits... I could be moving to Bangkok after all!
Who wants to direct me to KS3 and IGCSE science resources? Last time I taught it was 2010!

Any @edutooters in Bangkok or greater Thailand? I have a chemistry job interview and if it all goes well I guess the family and I are moving there!

My school is trialling "marking from home" days during exam block. They finally twigged that so many teachers take a sickie on a day there is no exam to supervise that they rostered one off. Today I will do the computer entry stuff in a comfortable work chair! #teacher #IBchemistry #marking #edutooter

Over my 15 years of #teaching and #marking it is only in the last 3 that I have moved from alphabetised "whole paper" to "question by question" marking. Got to say that the latter really is the superior method. I have not done an official "which is faster" investigation, but I feel it is definitely fairer. #edutoot #edutooter #IBchemistry
