27a No quick way to avoid teacher's pressure (6)  - t - e - s

Presumably the answer is STRESS, but I can't see the cryptic explanation. MISTRESS minus M1 (not that quick a way last time I used it) is the best I've come up with, but it doesn't convince. Any suggestions?

'Stress' is almost certainly right for the reason you state. My guess is that the opening word 'No' might actually be the abbreviation No = number, because of the '1' in 'M1'.

Didn't like this one - seems to be a poor clue for the Times Jumbo standard.
