I once corrected my A-Level Biology teacher while we were being videotaped for a news article. Surprisingly he didn’t seem to hate me for it.
I was (and am) such a geek 😊
A local TV news team was doing a story about the 6th forms (Year 12 in current terms) of the Dundonald Boys & Girls schools being merged due to falling numbers. Biology A-Level was the first joint course. Stop snickering; all the jokes about practicals were made very quickly. 😊
An autistic A-level student has been described as “thrilled” after finally being offered the temporary role as teacher of her sixth-form English class, sources have claimed.
Paige Thomas, 17, who has been teaching the class on an informal basis, owing to her teacher’s incompetence, called the promotion “long overdue.”
Oh. Shiny. There’s a Chemistry supplement with the latest New Scientist. A sponsored, advertising supplement granted. But still. Chemistry, FTW!
If they’d have let me, I’d have done nothing but chemistry at secondary school. Sadly, they didn’t let me. We did have unfettered access to the labs in Sixth Form for A-Level chemistry though. A Health & Safety no-no now I think 😊
