HappyG(rrr) Apr 2023 9:45am, 6 Apr 2023 46,230 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Thanks. It was good, but oh my goodness, only 4 weeks until her exams and I'll only see her 3 times in that period. Hope her studying goes well. G
Grast_girl Apr 2023 3:45pm, 6 Apr 2023 2,926 posts	0 Grast_girl Yes, I had that with a student I was tutoring for chemistry, really only enough time to go through the basics. I never did hear how he got on.
LindsD Sep 2023 12:03pm, 28 Sep 2023 64,126 posts	0 LindsD Hello. Coming at this from the other side. My daughter's head teacher is leaving/retiring. Whilst she has been the source of many problems over the last 7 years, when the chips were down she's really supported LittleD. I'd like to get her something. Any ideas? I don't know whether she drinks. I don't really know her personally. She's been there a long time so will get loads, I should think.

There are enough educators on here that I thought it might be nice to have somewhere supportive to rant and problem solve.

Everyone is welcome.
