@SarahFarrellKS2 Horrible question - but not because it's difficult. It's horrible because it's just a genuinely poor question.

This was a horrible question in the KS2 GPS paper!

@MrBoothY6 Which translates as 'look at our cosy little echo-chamber'...

@LPLFlippedEng Saw a similar DHT one that said 'only candidates who already work within the MAT will be considered'.

Yesterday, we put out a job advert for a teacher and explicitly wrote on it that there are no internal candidates. More schools should do this imo - I can’t stand when I hear about teachers wasting hours and hours applying when the decision was made before the advert was posted.

@PieCorbett Good grief! Is Brain Gym still doing the rounds? I came across it 25 years ago as an NQT and had one of those 'Emporer's New Clothes' moments where I genuinely thought everyone had gone temporarily mad.

Oh dear! Some of these are prevalent and schools swear by them. But then so many things in education are adopted on the back of no evidence.

@Tesco I hate to main but this is now the 16th time this year that I've stopped to get lunch at a Tesco Express and it's closed because of a delivery and not enough staff. It's not good enough.

@lady_valor_07 1973

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@ClarksonsFarm1 No, no: don't move to the countryside! Watch it on TV like civilised people. Leave the countryside to us, thanks xxx

If you’re looking for a sign to move to the countryside, here it is…

@Williamsim70556 @people Did you click on the link? It's all there, very simply laid out.

@people I started in Newspaper, then went to Radio and then a major Media company. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW, WHY. BUT THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. NO CPUE ABOUT THIS STORY. I WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED FOR POSTING THIS.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Back British Farming 👍

@HelenPicken1 @sg_sykes @rhipratchett Im glad it's not just me: it's sat there on the shelf with all the others, just completely unread.

@sg_sykes @rhipratchett I'm the same. It's been there on my shelf for years and I can't even bring myself to open it. Maybe for the 25th anniversary?

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

@NotHackingIt @jk_rowling And that is precisely why they should have shut up: they are totally unqualified to comment.

@jk_rowling In fairness to the celebrities, they are totally unqualified, probably not particularly bright and were trusting the "experts". They probably didn't know any better. The MDs did know better but lied.

And it will forever be appalling to me that a bunch of celebrities with influence over young people used their platforms to amplify unevidenced claims for the benefit of transitioning minors while smearing those urging caution as bigots.

@NewbieSlt Oh brilliant. That will go with the new Lesson Planning proforma that we now have to complete two years in advance. Nice one!

Hi all, You may have noticed I wasn’t at the Academy yesterday. I’ve been doing some joint CPD with our partner academy. Starting tomorrow there’ll be new marking and behaviour policies and another 30 sets of acronyms for you to learn for Friday. There will be a test. Thanks x

@AnnEmmett @Jenny_1884 That is not accurate. Qualified, independent prescribing pharmacists are allowed to assess, diagnose and prescribe for a range of conditions. A chest infection falls into the allowed conditions.

@Jenny_1884 I’m not cleaver but even I know you need a doctor to prescribe antibiotics in this country.

Husband phoned Drs as he has a chest infection. Receptionist said to go to local pharmacy as they can give him antibiotics. Goes to Tesco Pharmacy & told they aren’t allowed to give out antibiotics & needs to see the Dr. Do these people actually know what they are doing 🙀

Can’t stop laughing.. 😂

I call this 'Beanbag Leadership'. "And what did the teacher do to make you swear at her? Never mind, go and have a sit on the beanbag in my office". I wish I was exaggerating.

@tombennett71 I've got the 2025 Red Fox version. She slumbered on...🤣

Try telling my Labrador that the clocks have gone back.

Daughter, who is studying Veterinary Medicine, rang me. "Guess what we were taught about today? Learning styles". Why? Why is this nonsense still doing the rounds?

@dsprimed @tombennett71 When I was organising an edu conference with a couple of other wonderful people, @tombennett71 was incredibly generous and helpful with his advice and time. Huge respect for him.

I honestly do not understand why people I like and follow attack @tombennett71 personally? You don't have to agree with what he says, but the ad hominem stuff just lowers the tone and cheapens your position. Disappointed. I like the man.

@sarahthesheepu @therealmissjo You make a good point. I'm still searching for one with a natty car lift!

@LPLFlippedEng @therealmissjo I had one too. Although i think it set unrealistic expectations of how exciting car parks would be as an adult

I loved this as a child. (No, I was not a boy, although I suspect if I showed an interest in it today, I would be on blockers in a hot minute!) I mentioned this to a friend and they had no idea what I was talking about. I cannot be the only child in the UK who had one….
