I'm desperate for my form to win the interform challenge this year. I even have a bet with one of my colleagues that my form will beat her's in the overall standings. It's going well so far, I've really instilled a will to win with my pupils and we're top with a healthy lead. However I think I may have done too good a job. On Thursday two of my boys were taking part in a scrabble competition. They were losing so resorted to cheating by accepting help from some of their friends near by. They were disqualified and got zero points.

I'm not even going to defend them by saying they were pushing the envelope of word-based gaming. You've got to say it's pretty low cheating at scrabble. Next they'll be simulating when we have the football competition or tieing the opposition's shoelaces toegther for the running.

Oh the shame!
