If a school is evaluated by listening to the opinions of the most hostile parents and the most disgruntled staff members, then it will be found wanting. This is obvious to anyone who has ever worked in a school.

Secret London voting London as the best city in the world in 3 different categories.

The pubs are mostly great, and I love how it's a norm for people to have a post-work beer.

But it wouldn't even be in my top 5 in England for nightlife, let alone the world.

Manchester, Liverpool, Brighton and Birmingham are all much better.

How is London #1 for nightlife?

Pretty much everywhere is shut by 11.

I love it that you can turn off commentary in the games streamed on Amazon Prime.

I don't need to "let that sink in." You can just end your post with what you have to say. I have excellent reading comprehension. Thank you.

Is it true that Mossbourne academies give pupils detentions if their parents don't attend parents evening?

This is a joke btw.

I honestly don't expect presents and when I do get them, my favourite ones are things like drawings and cards with a personal touch.

I've only got about a week left to unsubtly let the noisiest / most popular parents know that I don't really like chocolate and have way too many mugs but I do like coffee and beer.

It's funny how they think that Anfield is in some elite tier when it comes to atmosphere when it doesn't even come close to the City Ground, Elland Road or Selhurst Park. Villa Park and St James Park are comfortably better too.

They're just deluded, self-congratulatory and unbearably cringe.

A lot of other Liverpool fans are absolute bellends though tbf.

I don't think I am petty but my hatred of Liverpool largely stems from someone I went to school with and barely spoke to 23 years ago.

Better than 50% chance there is no FIFA Peace Prize next year and this was a one-off to make the orange toddler happy.

We had training on Talk Less Teaching which was delivered by someone talking in front of PowerPoint slides.

Good times.

The BBC have pulled the thumbs up / down function on their text coverage. This comment had 12k down votes a few minutes ago ... I wonder who made the call to pull it?

Recently been looking at teaching from an outside perspective with my insider knowledge and I don’t think many people realise how impressive it is that there are actual people who can hold the attention of 30 fifteen-year olds about something they haven’t chosen to study for an hour.
