@adamboxer1 You criticised the sacred cow. What were you expecting? Rational discourse?

I think there is a massive divide between the way NHS Twitter views the NHS and the way that normal people view it. I've had some wonderful experiences, but many more bad ones. Most of our friends say the same. My wife works for the NHS, as do 3 other immediate family members, and around 25% of my friends. They all say the same thing: yes, underfunding, but also obvious nonsense inefficiencies and things that could be easily fixed. But you dare to say anything online and you get called "stupid" a "moaner" or "a w*nk". People immediately assume you are criticising specific individuals, rather than the bad systems they work in. Legitimate grievances and frustrations are at best dismissed and at worse ridiculed. Not an ounce of reflection, and I suspect goodwill is running low. There was a time when genuinely everyone loved the NHS, and other than right wing libertarians you wouldn't hear a word against it. I suspect that's not the case anymore.

If you copy a graphic from someone else's Powerpoint presentation and use it in a blog, should you acknowledge the source? Asking for a friend.

@stockx @StillSumi Oh phew! You can get good customer service so long as you post publicly on twitter. Try to talk to the company directly and get scammed.

@SwailesRuth The Daily Telegraph is leaking again. Someone get a shovel.

Okay, here are my education predictions for 2025.
1) Bridget Phillipson will still be Education Secretary in a year’s time. However, for reasons to be explored in the rest of these predictions, her popularity amongst the profession will have waned significantly.

@Mr_AlmondED Yes but who are they listening to? There must be advisors or a think tank.

Raised in Wales and find it deeply upsetting that I could not work there due to what’s happening with regards to wider education reform.

WG are currently consulting schools on making this statutory for schools for 3-16 year olds. If this goes ahead, teachers will now be ‘enabling adults’, and play-based, discovery learning will be part of legal framework. If you work in Wales, please speak out about this madness

@adamboxer1 @TeachLearnGrow2 Wow Adam. That's not very skibidy Riz Ohio of you.

The most naive AI take is that it will reduce workload.
If history tells us anything, it's that technology brings change, but people still have to work damn hard (or even harder). If you work a 50+ hour week as a teacher today, AI isn't going to cut that down for you.

@MissL_Amos Sometimes... It's the environment that's a little sick, and it's not you that needs the medicine.

This is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. Other peoples’ children don’t appear to deserve to experience the best humanity has produced.

@lendersx @tes @bphillipsonMP "Ms Phillipson went on to suggest that the harder children belong, the harder they will work. School logo face tattoos have been cited as a good place to start. The EEF research in this area is disputed."

@bphillipsonMP @CSTvoice "Ms Phillipson said that schools can respond to declining attendance and having an increasing number of pupils with special educational needs by improving the sense of belonging."
Tell me there's no budget to actually change anything without telling me there's no budget.

Labour will never compromise on achievement for our children. High and rising standards, always.
But children can’t achieve unless they thrive: that’s why I want a greater focus on wellbeing in our schools.
Pleasure to address #CSTConf24 this morning.

Many years ago, I made the mistake of saying on twitter that I wasn't a fan of the PSC. This led to a couple of hours of being called a "phonics denialist" by someone who has never taught a class of children to read using phonics (I have, for several years). For the record, I

Right, so this is just flat out antisemitism from Raj, no question. How any educator could associate with David Miller is quite beyond me.
Raj is high profile and presents at conferences. I assume there will be calls to boycott anyone associated with her...

@SwailesRuth Pfft. Whatever Ruth. I think you've forgotten how you felt when you stepped out of your stasis pod at three and a half years old ready to receive knowledge for the first time ever.

Good grief - show me you know nothing about young children !
