You may already be aware that men are three times more likely than women to die by suicide. But...

Massive spike in views to my adaptive teaching blog today. Higher than on either of first two days of posting. Who’s put it out there? It’s not Teacher Tapp (probably too long for them anyway). Don’t think it’s Mary Myatt ? Intrigued! (And grateful of course.)
