Well, in a confusing twist of events we have received an update from the exam board who deliver BTECs saying no student will be disadvantaged if we aren't able to allow the exams to go ahead this week. It's very odd, basically they are saying we can run the exam as normal for the kids, but if we are unable to then no candidate will be disadvantaged, but as per usual, there is no explanation of what this actually means.
Poor Nathan, it's all so stressful for kids and motivation is tricky at the best of times. I really hope there is not an announcement that the work they do now doesn't count for anything. I'm well aware that this work done at home is likely a joint effort with parents or siblings helping, but last year Max did no work between March and September and I don't think this is the best set for starting A Levels. If that happens again then these kids are really going to struggle when they move on the next faze of their education. No need to apologise at all, I wrote the message! I just wanted to give people who don't want to read about it all an option...take care, it seems we are going or have to decide whether to get kids to sit the BTECs etc this week or not.

I had no idea what you did for a living before this Abbey, you are obviously a very caring, dedicated teacher and I can hear your sadness and frustration in the post you have written. Take care of yourself, you are obviously doing all you can to provide help to your students and at the moment, that’s all you can do. You also have to look after your own stress levels and health too 💞
I’m pleased you had a good Christmas (as good as it can be at least) and that the food report gave you a little escape from the daily worries. I’ve really enjoyed following along too so thanks for taking the time xx |

Thank you that is lovely to read, it has been a hectic week so far, with lots of twists and turns in announcements. I feel a little less frantic and more on top of things today, I managed to sleep better last night so that helped. Funnily enough a colleague said something similar to me earlier this week, we do have to look after our own health as if we run ourselves into the ground then we aren't going to be helping in the long run. I do know I have to make time for relaxing, it's just not always easy.
I hope you and your family stay safe and well, Take care x This Mexican chicken recipe is one I want to try too and I've pencilled it in for the weekend. It looked so good, I hope you enjoyed it.
