@jessica_r_bee @Headteacherchat That is so true. Successive governments are reducing education to a desperate worn out group of well intentioned people who can’t win. Education should be at the forefront of every government agenda.
English
@HelpTheHeads @Headteacherchat And if you’re a mother working in education, every child matters except your own!
English
I am so angry that everyone seems to accept this as the norm. It’s fuxxing inhumane. Great teachers and leaders are being rinsed of every ounce of positivity by governments who chase votes instead of doing what’s right.
English
@ICT_MrP Is it now the expected and the norm for Head Teachers to work to exhaustion / burnout and then have time off. Recover enough to go back to repeat the cycle again. Thinks what’s happening to my wife. It’s both heartbreaking and depressing that the system does this.

@lewispacker990 @englandcricket No catching, desire and attitude is the difference
English
@englandcricket Death bowling the difference bloody bumrah!

@englandcricket Catches win matches. Not good enough yet again. Easy to win the matches that don’t matter. Ashes - fail, wt20 - fail. Need a stiff broom and sweep clean the chaff. And order a slice of humbleness at the same time. Arrogance only works when you are good enough
English
@COYSJordan94 Absolutely. They were shite in Australia and have been shite this tournament really. Very lucky to be in semis
English
@Headteacherchat My wife has a breakdown of the directed time if that helps
English
Can anyone help? Please can you ask if anyone has a directed time policy for a primary school.

@jamieoliver Jamie, I understand your desire to get kids eating healthily but the rules now are putting kids off eating the school food as it is tasteless and ugly. I don’t believe you could cook for my wife’s school and they enjoy it. I challenge you to do it.

@NCG_com Yes yes and yes. Too many bandits getting more than a shot a hole. They have ruined club comps. In fact nothing more than a playing handicap of 18. Not a WHS pf 18
English
Should their be a limit on your handicap in order to win a prize at your club? 👀
English
@HenlayTrinique @Headteacherchat Ha, always load more on to the Head. They are probably already out there. And then they won’t get a break at all.
English
@Headteacherchat If it’s so important ask the head or deputy head to do it. If they baulk at the idea, then ask yourself why & dig into the SLT culture. In schools with good staff cultures questions like this don’t arise. They need to redesign the swap-over system not paper over with staffing.
English
Anon post:
Would it be reasonable to ask teaching staff to supervise a 15-minute lunch duty? They currently have a full hour for their break. The goal is to ease the pressure during the challenging 'swap-over' times.

@ICT_MrP Sunday night!! My HT wife works all of Sunday.

@Fit_For_Golf What if you are an incredible physical specimen where you are too strong and too flexible?
Should you actually be trying to get weaker and less mobile?
Asking for a friend. 😎
English
In general, golfers overvalue flexibility and undervalue strength.
In general, golfers think they rank a lot a higher in strength than they do flexibility, and are often wrong.
Work on both, but strength should get far more of most golfers limited training time.

@RupraRoshan Teachers can earn more at Tesco yet they still teach and don’t strike like you lot. You got 29.8% last year or so. What about the rest of the public sector. What happened for the love of the job. All the golf clubs are stacked with retired drs in their 50’s.
English
Resident doctors are only asking to be paid as much as a physician assistant. Why is that such a difficult pill to swallow?
Alison Moore @alijanemoore also on Bluesky@AliJaneMoore
Few years back i found an A&E where the most senior doc on some overnight shifts was an F2 (second year after graduating). The responsibility resident docs have is enormous.
English
@planebottle @Headteacherchat I love that but in reality I’d rather take the teeth out of a bulls mouth whilst wearing a red tee shirt while poking it in the eyes 😂
English
@HelpTheHeads @Headteacherchat Take. The. Laptop. Off. Her.
Pick her up from school at 5pm.
Insist that she does no school work when not in school.
The school will replace her in HOURS if she dies. You cannot do that.

@Headteacherchat how do I support my spouse who is working 80 hours a week? Doesn’t get a coffee, break or food during the day. She is shot at from every direction and has no cover. Things get said to her that would lead to disciplinary if she said them. Staff wellbeing only
English
@NTHeadteacher It amazes me, coming from a diff background, how resilient you all are. You are willing to take the sh*t for the good of the children but I really want to shout for you. The reducing money needs changing at govt level and this lot are no better
English
Sadly, this is a reality for us as leaders. Teaching & learning was the main job but no longer can be given multiple demands on schools. SEND & family need ever increasing, no funding, budgets are shot, LA do not understand reality on the ground.
HTs are shot at from all sides.

@Headteacherchat Working all Sunday every Sunday is not seen by anyone. Apart from us. I drive everywhere so she can be on her phone answering emails. I wish there was another option but she is so dedicated to her job

Can anyone help?
