As for exam leave, surely there's a point where the kids need to become responsible for their own success/failure? You can't hand hold them forever.
We're available, but it's up to them to come for help.
And if there was no extra time we'd never do any wider curriculum/primary transition.

Results day in 🏴 is weird. In 🏴 you get results posted direct to your house, and text results have been a thing since 2005.
Colleges/uni get access to results system so you don't need to submit them.
My cousin in 🏴 had to get certificates then drive to hand them over to 6th form - waste of a day.

Agree with all the stuff about cpd in schools being forgotten; why do we still sit everyone in the hall lecture style?
But SMT wanting Sarah to do adaptive teaching is absolutely a red flag. Means they're a sucker for reinventing the wheel edu-fads, not what's actually going to improve T&L.

Loads of stuff I agree with. We got a load of grief because we were under leveling CfE levels compared to what they got at N5.
But when we asked how to do it better we got told "use professional judgement" - you just told us ours is bad!
To me it just means all that level data is worthless.

In 🏴 there's zero negotiation. Everyone starts on point 0 after uni, then it's automatic progression each year.
Can't skip ahead (unless you're experienced and transferring into the 🏴 system) and it transfers between schools.
No worries about appraisals, or animosity between subjects.

Got to agree with Amy on pay. PRP is a horrible system that creates animosity, and will benefit the loud, not the skilled; which will more likely be men (and worsen the gender pay gap).
Boosts for shortage subjects don't stand up to scrutiny long term; downsides massively outweigh positives.

"free market raises conditions" isn't really true.
🏴 Has 0 academies and I have better pay (even vs United learning), more PPA, and better conditions.
This is the flaw with the "just conglomerate" argument; the most efficient group is a monopoly - that's the state.
Think NHS Vs US healthcare.
