Marking Woes

Marking is hell. I have tremendous respect for teachers who have to live with it everyday. When they’ve done everything right, it’s simple; you just check off all the little boxes, and move on. When they get something wrong, you have to gaze at their code for several minutes, and work out just why their code doesn’t terminate and prints infinite amounts of ?s onto the screen. I hope people will find my comments helpful.

Now this is interesting. I don’t have my copy of The Nation’s Favourite with me at the moment, but I’m fairly sure that she’s beginning to approach the audience levels that Mark & Lard were attracting. Yet she gets a £333,000-a-year deal for the next three years? Let’s hope that Mr. Parfitt’s tenure at Radio 1 is coming to an end; he’s managed to undo most of the work that Mattthew Bannister did to rescue the station back in 1994. And no, I’m accepting 1Xtra or 6Music as an excuse, excellent as they are.
