    You may be interested inThe Value of Mathematics by Laura Kounine, John Marks and Elizabeth Truss, which makes a comparative study of public examinations mathematics papers between 1951 and 2006. It can be downloaded free as a PDF from http://www.reform.co.uk/documents/The%20value%20of%20mathematics.pdf.

    Thanks very much for this. As it happens I am acquainted this work and found it very interesting. If you look at back post #30 in thread, you will see that I actually mentioned it at the top of a long list of suggested references and even quoted from the work towards the end of my post.

    Best wishes,

    Sabbir

    No don't restrain yourself, you go on ahead and quote where I've breached T and C. I challenge you to do so.

    Oh I see, Curlywurly's been hoovering.

    I wondered why you were being so verbose of about me having a couple of sensitive posts removed.  That's what you do when you're up to something dodgy isn't it.  You project the guilt on people around you.

    weebecka everyone who's been on this thread a while knows you're a liar! I haven't had a single post removed, as you well know! I have not breached t and c. You have just shown yourself up very very badly. Oh dear!

    It would be interesting if we asked the moderators to reveal just who has asked for their posts to be removed on this thread and this and other forums, wouldn't it?

    Accusing me of being up to "something dodgy" is a bit rich coming from you!

    Projection again curlygirly. Looking back you've gone this again and again and again - been or done something yourself and accused me of doing it in the same breath. Have you been for psychiatric assessment curlygirly?

    I don't think anything's been removed from this thread or other forums. It's other threads on this forum which are the issue. Isn't it curlygirly? And yes it would be extremely interesting.

    Physician, heal thyself.

    For what it's worth, I have not lied, or had threads removed - which you have accused me of doing. I'd like you to retract that statement. Fully. Thank you.

    I did my A levels in 1989 FWIW

    curlygirly:
    The lovely Mr CG has been by my side for the last 21 (almost 22)

    Did the whole of upper 6th come CG?  How unusual to get married in the winter of upper 6th.

    This thread, as I said, hasn't been hoovered.   Yet.

     

    By the way I did ask TES to remove my posts about my HMI but they said I had to report them one at a time.  When I went back to look at them - despite your claims that they were abusive - they were in fact really gentle and human, laying no blame on her for the abusive system she was part of (but suggesting that she should have gone on to contribute to the reform of that failing system).

    So I didn't submit any of them for deletion.  Not one.  But I see some have gone.  It makes it easier for you to lie about what was in them I suppose.

    I notice I was quoted as saying some things about her I didn't say here by the people who outed my identity.  I don't know where they got that stuff from or even if its genuine.  I can't get it deleted because they weren't my posts.  

    I could have said some tough stuff about her sometime but please understand - I was assaulted three times by year11s as a direct result of her ignorant intervention.  I wrote to her afterwards and she didn't respond.  She's ignored me at conferences.  I'm only human curlygirly.  It hurt.

    I met Mr CG while still at school, I'm sure you can do the maths.

    Not everyone on TES is a liar. Don't tarr us all with your brush eh?

    Some people on here have met me, and met Mr CG.

     

    I am not the liar weebecka, you are.

    i have never asked for a single post to be removed that either of us have been involved in.

    And I ask you once again, most politely to retract that statement.

    I am not a liar. I do not "hoover".

    Please retract that statement.
