1. My science apps are 5 years in the making and still being improved. Self-taught and built from scratch these apps are top ranked on App and Play store. They now have past exam papers and notes as well as 100s of retrieval questions. Do give them a try apps.apple.com/gb/app/chemqu…

Unbelievably poor customer service from @premierinn. Left belongings in room at Tooting Bec. Called same day to notify. After investigation, they say nothing was found. Raised a complaint, but they’ve “done all they can”. Their procedures failed, but I am uncompensated. Awful.

Today's thread of useful teaching hinterland is inspired by a headteacher's alarming statement that he doesn't believe in the moon landing*. Did you know that various different mirrors have been left on the Moon following missions? Here's the one from the Apollo 11 mission. /1

Quite surprised no one has responded to my question. Do I need to point out that the verb does not agree with the subject? Or is it awkward to answer? Or too boring a question?
English teachers! “The team are playing at home” irks me, but is common accepted grammar by the BBC for example. A worse example is “my client are looking for a team leader”. Is this accepted in English language teaching now?
