Mr Salles tells me more about my education more then my own teachers
Right. The teachers at my school just keep saying 'we only know as much as you do'
@@irrelevance3859 😂😂 lmaoooo
Mr Salles is gonna cary me through year 11 i can feel it
I can’t save you but I can still carry you
y11 isn't that bad if you get your GCSE's for free
If GCSEs 2021 get cancelled again like this year, I will cry lol. The government has failed us.
Me too 😭😭
I'd honestly rather get my current predicted grades than sit my exams next year and get a shit grade which I know I will lmao
School tomorrow I’m scared 😰
A distract14on I’m back Thursday. Good luck.
I'm back on Friday
I'm going on Friday ;-;
Me too. We're all gonna get Corona
A distract14on I start Sixth Wednesday
Really confused on why you have a problem with someone wearing off the shoulder tops....
Ha ha, I thought I had actually edited that bit out! Once a dad, always a dad I guess.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish wow that sounded kinda dark.......
timestamp? i missed where he said that :>
@@jessxmess2377 seems to have now been cut out, it was about Unjaded jade
holly teaaaaaaaa, sounds a bit weird Oof :>
I literally got downgraded so much in gcse and I can’t even appeal ;):):):):):)):)
Damn
same ffs
Mr Salles is giving me hope I'll be able to pass regardless of ofqual's incompetence
Great attitude!
Im hoping for GCSE exams to take place in 2021 because the algorithm is incredibly biased and is based hugely on the area we live in. Teacher predicitions, which I will admit is better than the algorithm, won't work out well for a lot of people, I've heard lots of people saying they've gotten lower than their mocks and they cannot appeal. I know the teacher predicitions did also inflate grades, but for some people they didn't get the grades they deserve.
Scrap GCSEs
going into year 13 but I second that Mr Salles' videos are really good as I went from getting a 5 in my mocks to an 8 in the real thing for English Lit
will continue to subscribe :)
Thank you!
I feel a bit uncomfortable with the comment about 'string tops', I don't think it's your place to comment on what jade wears, as she doesn't dress in revealing or provocative clothes.
even if she did dress in revealing/provocative clothes it doesn’t give him any place to comment!! but yea that comment made me uncomfortable too :/
I dont see how delaying the exam periods by a couple of weeks is going to make up for months of time lost
Because it gives us time to revise or learn the content we missed in that month
I Mudassar i missed 4/5 months of school so a couple of weeks won’t fix that issue
@@siu6347 if anything it just makes it harder, as we have to retain info for longer
@@michael_k2630 use spaced repetition - it's a no brainer
@@Subarmale using spaced repetition doesn't change the fact i have to remember things longer. Giving us a couple of weeks extra just means 2 more weeks of stress. Either continue as normal or cancel the whole thing. Simple
Who is way behind and totally not prepared for GCSEs in any way whatsoever?
Me. I gotta try and catch up quick
I will self-try to be well-prepared....
Anyway, life should be stress-free ; GCSE shouldn't really be taken TOO seriously - yes... they are important however it's not the end of the world if you FAIL all your exams
im so scared for year 11 :( (update I go into year 11 on Thursday and it's Tuesday evening right now 😭😪)
Same
@@ShanikkeH I feel you
I'm going to 11 too
@User 15 good luck
@User 15 i start on thursday and we start at 8:05 instead of 7:50 last year but we finish at 4:30 every other day :( ughh good luck for today!!!
my friend got all 9s for her mocks but ended getting 5s.......
Tell her that it's not the end of the world
I hope they spread out our exams and not extend them cuz that would be really annoying
Mr Salles I am a IGCSE student so could you please kindly make videos on English Language (IGCSE) .
THANK YOU
TAKE CARE
Teacher grades were so inflated! I got 9 A* and an A with the algorithm and when the teachers grades were used, multiple people in my class got loads of A*s and even surpassed me because the teachers basically predicted that some sort of miracle would happen for some students. Ludicrous! Now I feel cheated and as though my grades don’t mean anything anymore.
I wasn’t given my algorithm grades how did you get yours
Bethany Barratt I did the Cambridge IGCSE board so received my grades a few days before Pearson edexcel and most other boards
@@laraimam241 oh okay, well I went into school and got CAGs but no algorithm I bet I won’t get them at all 🙄
Hi Mr Salles! I saw your structure video for A Christmas Carol. I don't take it, but I was wondering if you could make a similar video for the structures of Macbeth and Jekyll and Hyde? It would be really useful. Nevertheless, keep up the great work - life-saver!
I just want to say I have recently discovered your channel and it has been very helpful! I am watching all your inspector calls videos and it has given me a new appreciation for the text. Previously I thought it as a bit dull with little to analyse because all the points are so obvious but your videos have brought up really interesting points and hopefully this will improve my grades in year 11 :)))))))
Thank you very much - you are exactly the viewer I make videos for - someone who wants to think a bit more deeply about the texts.
So my school decided to cancel poetry 🤷♂️ win win
Hi mr salles , when you teach your english literature, what exam board do you teach. Also can i apply those notes to my OCR exam board .
AQA and yes, you can apply the notes
Mr Salles Teaches English ok thank you. Ive been watching all your lessons on Dr Jekyll and mr hyde through out lockdown ( before i used to watch mr bruff until i found out he doesn’t do ocr, plus i felt like I wasn’t getting quality unique lessons) then i found your channel and its quite an eye opener to see that the way our teachers teach english have made it hard for students to get actively interested in the subjects they learn. Thanks to you i now approach English with more intrigue and curiosity and feel more motivated to learn.
Damn
You called it....
I feel like a criminal because I got such inflated results for English. Never went past a 6 but got a 7 and an 8. What?!
We live one life - a number shouldn't really be the focal point right now
@@goldenwarrior8764 depends where and how far you want to get in that one life.
Well that is a bit crazy.
missing three months of in school work and falling behind a lot is stressing me out so much and i feel like im going to fail my gcses D:
So are the exams going to take place for sure or are they going to give us grades based on our mock exams
Also, how can we revise for English Language since there isn't really much specific content we need to know?
can you remind me if he replies to this :)

Hello mr Salles,
Do you think that this years exam season will be disrupted? If so, would you think that predicted grades are better than actual grades?
Mr . Salles can you please make videos on Igcse English language B ( sec A ,B and C ) please please please ...i have exams coming soon. ...i need to learn
Ruby Granger is also fantastic for study tips
As a teacher of art my grades had one grade 9, three grade 8s and a handful of 7s. Due to the algorithm I ended with six grade 9s. How is that fair?
Anyone know when btec results are coming.
Edit: they literally just came. 2 hours after I posted the comment.
What does D2 mean?
a high distinction i believe, well done :)
Distinction level 2 - highest u can get
violetsandsunsets thanks
Khadija Merzais thanks
Hi Mr Salles, can you please make videos on King Lear? It would be extremely helpful for my alevels 🙂
mr salles, is there any way i can compare the theme of youth and age in an inspector calls to the metamorphosis of a butterfly (mr birling and mrs birling are already butterflies so they can’t change)
Yes, but as it has no quotation to work with in the play, it may not be worth it
Mr Salles Teaches English thank you
How much should you start revising from September for GCSE?
will the schools use 2019 gcses as year 11 mocks?
Probably, a lot of the time teachers do use the past paper from the previous year, but obviously there weren't 2020 GCSEs. However, there's a possible chance that they may use the autumn papers that'll be done by people doing resits this October/November. It's quite rare for a teacher to create their own mock paper when it's much more quick and easy to find them online
I've been downgraded from set 4 for science and english because I am in set 5 for maths so now I'm in set 5 for english maths science and RE in year 11 😭😭😓
It's not all about sets
It's about what you write on the paper.
I’m scared for gcse this year it’s my last year
Same
I’m sitting my GCSEs in 2022. I’m doing Food Tech so will there be any changes because of the practical results
Mr Salles do you know how the autumn session exams are going to be held? Especially for international gcse. Are the results going to be based on CAGs?
No, they will be proper exams
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish but how so? I live in Bangladesh and the schools haven't opened here yet and we are still in lockdown.
Bruv, some dumb kid in our class got two 9s and one 8. ( Accounting, Maths and English respectively.) (IGCSE)
@@KAH-bk8po Your life does not revolve around grades (remember that) ; life is unfair though ... we can self-say that... however one has to accept the situation and move on.
Nothing YOU can do and nothing I can do - it is just the way it is.
What will happen with btec level 1/2 ?????????????? Helllpppppp??????
I want wave 2 so I don't do exams
im resisting english next year since i got a 3 so what nowwwww
Imagine we don’t have to do GCSEs Year 11 gang 🤟🏼
I hope we won't do them
Ikr I really hope so
And if not they better not be delayed because I want my summer GCSEs or not
@@salmahassan9626 I hope we DO ; it is imperative that we self-do the GCSE exams
We wouldn't want our grades to be judged by a 'sick-inducing' algorithm .... do we?
I wish there will be real exams in 2021
Me too
but most people go up from mocks anyway, how do you know your videos were the cause, on top of this, the people looking for english videos are likely the ones working harder anyway
soph.m.p Then the 2020 figures would be 6% higher than the 2019 figures, wouldn’t they?
Mr Salles Teaches English i see your reasoning, still there is no telling if the correlation is between watching your videos and the grades, or between the people who watch your videos and improving right before exams (i.e. after mocks) especially when the people who went up the most this year are the ones that teachers have consistently seen performing highly.
soph.m.p If the students performing highly are my TH-cam audience, their poll would reflect more than the 6% increase in 2020, not less, because you are suggesting other students would have had much less inflation - say 4%, which would mean this high performing cohort (which is much smaller) would then have to have improved by much more than 8% to arrive at a national average of 6%.
My experience as a senior leader is that once teachers learn to trust data, they achieve amazing things. Their instinct, however, is often to explain away data, especially when it seems to be telling a story they don’t like. I have worked out how to do this at scale, so our school is in the top 2% of the most improved in the country (5 extra GCSE grades per pupil in 2019 with exams). In short, you don’t have to be an excellent teacher to get excellent results, you just need to look at the impact of what you do and try to improve it.
