No DMs, thank you. My display name is meant to be MrS-Devon. I am a maths teacher in West Devon, who is just in his 50s. My likes are Plymouth Argyle, Man Utd, reading, indoor plants. The most important things in my life? That would be my family.

Any tips to help a fellow maths teacher? I am really struggling with mixed ability classes. I have a series of questions for those with advice.
Q1 Seating, should they be sitting next to someone with a similar ability, or top with bottom? TIA. #Teachets #mathsteachers

It will be interesting to see if (former prince) Andrew is mentioned in the files. A nasty, arrogant, inflated man. If he is then he needs to stand trial.

Oops, my prediction regarding Rooney is now outdated!

I decided to get a new hobby, growing bonsai from seeds or saplings. Great, except it turns out they will probably take 10 years to get to the desired outcome. I'm sticking with it, but I might need another new hobby! #bonsai

Work is tough at the moment, hence not many updates from me, but I'm still reading. And I still worry about the effect of Trump.

How far have egg prices fallen in America?
Surely the war in Ukraine is over, it was only going to take 24 hours for him to fix.

I can only watch with horror at the shit show that is the American presidency, at least he is not in charge of my country. But the worry is the problems he will cause the world.

Green banana w with a label of ripe and ready to eat!

I bought these bananas on Friday, the shelf only had green ones. I've just noticed the label, I don't think that they are ripe and ready!

Another reason for letting students finish their answers fully. Today a student got to the penultimate step when simplifying and I nearly said "which gives us 3x+2". Thankfully I did not and the student added an extra line, 5x.
A chance to discuss a massive misconception. #edusky

I watch from the UK with horror at American politics, but I worry that your shit show will soon become our shit show. We must spend up for each other. πŸ’™

You look great Sarah. This demonstrates how we really cannot tell what anyone is going through without knowing what they are going through. Keep getting stronger.

Wow, Sunderland 2 Argyle 2, just wow. And their manager said that they were lucky to get a point. Is The Great Escape on? #pafc
