I think a lot of people are of the same sentiment. Nearly a third of the teachers who qualified in the last decade have left the profession, and last year teacher recruitment was 41% below target for secondary schools (here & here)

Most teachers I know - and I work in education - are absolutely not content with the end product that gets turned out at the end of the academic year. They are however totally fed up with: Departments that have had staff cut by 75% whilst student numbers stay the same. No wage rises for over...

You can have the AI view on it :) Are children being indoctrinated to exist in a world that won't exist in 15 years? It is difficult to predict with certainty what the world will look like in 15 years, but it is important for children to be educated about a wide range of topics so they are...

Most of the work done for the qualifications we teach revolve around essays and questions students do in their own time. More emphasis is placed on the coursework, traditional exams as we knew them don't really play a large part, and sometimes don't exist at all. EDIT: Maybe my original...

Browsing through the news yesterday I found an article about a band of teachers who'd formed a group, with the aim of sharing tips to stop students using artificial intelligence to cheat at exams. Intrigued, I went to have a look at ChatGPT, to see what kind of answers it would give. I asked...

Also......Education establishment league tables. Ok, I can see the thinking behind it - it'll make schools/colleges improve their teaching techniques if they're publicly graded along side other local establishments. What appears to actually happen is management say "In order to show we're...

I'm not sure what it is you're after, but £200 for 9 yards of brass fitting sounds very reasonable to me. A year or two back I wanted some solid brass bar, 38mm dia for some lathe work. The company my firm buys their metal from wanted £5 ....... per inch !

Sometimes you get better results if you don't hammer the dowels through the plate, rather 'drill' them through. For 10mm dowel I cut some square blanks roughly 15x15, rounded an inch of one end (I used a belt sander), put that in the drill and 'drilled' the rod through the plate. After it had...

I did one of these lists earlier for a guitar forum thread - just going to copy it across :) Black Country Communion - Song of Yesterday (Live version) Dave Mathews ft Warren Haynes - Cortez The Killer (Live in Central Park) Andy Timmons - Cry For You Kenny Wayne Shepherd - While we Cry...

I'd replace the head, and probably the handle.

At work we have an Ajax No1 combination milling machine. It's an old beast, capable of being configured in either a horizontal or vertical modes. As far as anyone can remember it's been set up as a horizontal miller. We'd like to convert it back to a vertical machine, but somewhere in time one...

A while ago I posted up how, while sitting at home, my wife had asked me if I'd ever watched a very long running British soap called 'Emmerdale Farm'. I replied "I used to watch it when I was a kid, with my Mom......when it had Amos and Mr Wilkes in it". Next day my Amazon had DVD box sets of...

Same as Rogxwhit, I have no knowledge of your machine, but as he said, generally collets 'snap' into the nut first (they close up slightly when you push them in), then you screw the nut onto the router. As the nut tightens the collet closes up to grip the cutter. When you loosen the nut it...
