Same teacher

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I used to live in Romford, Essex and in 1982 my son Adam started school at the local primary and his first teacher was called Mrs B. Eighteen years later, having remarried and moved 150 miles North to Horncastle, Lincolnshire, my youngest son Joshua started school and I was amazed to find when I took him on his first day that his teacher was the same Mrs B! Apparently, she had moved up to Lincolnshire a few years after we had but it is still a very big county with hundreds of schools. She was surprised as well and couldn't believe that little Adam was now 18 and over six feet tall. from Susan T
