@LoftusSteve @99_hp More generous because usually the pay is worse. Scrap the pension and see even fewer people want to work in the public sector.

@99_hp Because public sector pensions are more generous, and they are easier for the Gov to track. But I clearly "place to start".

A super easy place to start with pension reform. If you get a public sector pension above £20,000 per annum you lose your state pension. This is easy for the Gov to track and should be phased in gradually so it's £20k for 2040.

Reading education blogs changed my practice, so I always want to try take the opportunity to share the love. Here are a few free blogs I've read recently that I thought were super, please share if you can! I work at a school that doesn't have merit points or rewards or anything like that, so this piece by @msrebeccabirch on intrinsic motivation really appealed to me: rebeccabirch.substack.com/p/on-chasing-t… We are in the midst of an SEND crisis, and part of the problem is outlined by @head_teach: that some schools have astonishingly higher numbers of students with SEND than others: matthewevanseducation.substack.com/p/magnetic-sch… @joel120193 is smashing out hit after hit on his blog, and this piece on the sheer amount of things teachers have to do resonated: joel120193.substack.com/p/the-60-minut… @mpershan wrote a typically scholarly, wide-ranging and sophisticated piece on implicit vs explicit learning, the memorisation of maths facts and much more. pershmail.substack.com/p/understandin… Next up are two posts on AI: @alex_crossman has written an excellent piece on the risks of AI to education. Our job is to get students' thinking hard, and AI's job is to get people thinking less hard. These aren't compatible, and we need to pull the brakes hard. powerfulknowledge.substack.com/p/its-time-to-… Whilst not strictly about education, Gary Marcus's entry here about the security risks of OpenClaw and other weird things is vital if we are to take internet and AI security seriously. garymarcus.substack.com/p/openclaw-aka… Of course, I've been blogging too, and you can check out my entries here: carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com As stated at the outset, please share if you can!

@Emma_Turner75 So thankful this shift has already happened where my children go to school. Y1 the second time round has been play based and my child loves school, makes good progress and learns loads. First time around "we're worried about him transitioning to desk based learning".

🧵I sense a long overdue shift in approaches to KS1. For quite some time, the move into KS1 has been abrupt & jarring with many v. formal approaches for children only just five. For those long(er) in the tooth, this felt frankly wrong,as old money infant teaching was sidelined.

I am pleased to announce that the next article in my series on teaching "hard-to-teach" topics in GCSE maths is now live. This article looks at circle theorems, and how teachers of maths might approach teaching circle theorems so that they are more memorable and distinct for pupils. Read my thoughts here: twinkl.co.uk/news/gcse-math… I would love to hear if this has worked for others, but if not what has. Comment on this post to let me know.

Not everything that feels supportive actually helps. Coloured paper and invented retention rates tell a bigger story about why bad ideas persist in schools. Link below ⬇️

If you have teaching students, or ECTS & perhaps new mentors (or no brain space to think about setting targets), I made a bank of example targets linking to the teachers standards that might be useful. Obviously part 2 would only be used for concerns. docs.google.com/document/d/1rM…
