When I was a head, stats was offered as an option and had the same as any other - 5 periods over a 2-week timetable. However, I know that some schools use it only to manipulate P8 and ask for it to done unreasonably in much less time, or even after school sometimes in a year. Best wishes

A card reads: "We’d been dating for about four months when Valentine’s Day rolled around and it was time to exchange gifts. She had me close my eyes and came back with a simple rocking chair. I was stunned: I had offhandedly mentioned how I wanted one someday in the far-off future. It was an indicator of how she would be as a girlfriend, wife and later mother to our two kids, both of whom were rocked to sleep in that very same chair." — Sarah Winawer-Wetzel, 42, Philadelphia
There is undeniable magic in big, romantic gestures. For Valentine’s Day, we asked readers to share a moment when they have felt truly swept off their feet — or have been the ones doing the sweeping. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
