@GPDai Great effort James, Mozheh and Hazel. Hard going breaking a path in that but looks like a top day out.

Attritional walking on the plateau between Càrn na Caim and A'Bhuidheanach Bheag today. Chapeau to little Hazel and Mozheh

The legend that is Joe Jordan at cappielow as guest today. @#scotland #manchesterunited @Morton_FC

A first appearance to remember 🔥 #WhateverItTakes ⚔️🛡️

Correction 3 tries.

90 seconds to go and England kick the ball instead of going through the phases until half time. The result, penalty try and yellow card.

@DrRJSimpson @PaulJSweeney Recently spent some time walking in the Madrid Rio Park. The creation of the M-30 tunnels has completely transformed that area of Madrid for the better. Stunning piece of engineering.

Madrid under grounded much of its central motorway. This photo gives only a glimpse of the extensive park walkways cycle lanes an play areas created

@Broonjunior Hope you enjoy the trip despite the result.

@GordonMurray71 We were at the game. France utterly dominant. The score flattered Ireland.

Combination of speed and power from France is absolutely devastating. Ireland really struggling to get a foothold in the game.

Every time I hear someone say that ‘building relationships is how we get children to behave’ I’m amazed how often they then don’t define what A) they mean by a relationship B) how to actually build this mysterious thing. This leads to multiple errors, eg trying to get kids to ‘like’ you and so on. Part of the problem is that a lot of research into this appears to be dependent on correlation, not causation. Typically you see great behaviour and good relationships together, so people assume the latter causes the former. But a good relationship is the outcome of good behaviour management, not the other way around. It’s a product, not a cause. Why? Because a ‘relationship’ is simply a description of two things- How two or more people typically 1. Behave and 2. Value one another. So if you want to ‘build a relationship’ you teach students how to act with one another, with you, with school peers, and so one. Simultaneously you teach them that they matter to you, and that their safety and success matters. These things are far more important than ‘do you know what football team they support?’ You’re not their mate. The relationship you want- and they need- is adult to child, student to teacher. Demonstrated high regard AND standards. Oh, one more major thing: boundaries. Students need to know there are limits of acceptable conduct, with penalties for crossing them. Any discussion about behaviour, or school behaviour system, that doesn’t have these, will eventually be pointless. No community survives without them, so why should classrooms and schools be different?

Great way to spend Christmas Eve. Dawn to dusk on An Casteal and Beinn A Chroin. Merry Christmas everyone.

Scotland's education statistics are a disgrace - because no one wants us to know what's going on. Lindsay Paterson nails it for @enlighten_scot enlighten.scot/misleading-edu…

Would you like an early Christmas present? Would you like these pin badges? All you have to do is RT this tweet & I will select a winner one week from today. Good Luck.

@JeffCarnage Or, wow wow wow, unbelievable.

Going to use this so often. What a find.

That penalty decision. #Scotland

@Stocklington I miss the excitement of buying a ticket for the Apollo or Playhouse from Rhythmic Records in Greenock.

Thank you to @AXS_UK for ballsing up the @radiohead ticketing experience. I was genuinely excited it was working but as soon as I put the code in I got this message. Clicking “refresh” was, of course, a complete trap. A waste of the guts of an hour and the emotional effort.

Victor’s putt on 17, shot of the tournament for me.

Love the European pairings.

@conorogolf In this form, absolutely.

Noren in, sorry straka ⛳️

Education is a devolved matter, the SNP cannot pass the buck. Scottish colleges have seen flat cash settlements for years with no adjustments for inflation or rising costs. With how they’ve treated education, the SNP have abandoned Clackmannanshire and all of Scotland.
