@PippaCrerar Love the idea of someone young in the House of Lords…I have never heard of her ever… so I just wondered why this honour and responsibility has been given… she has surely done a lot to merit this so I’d love to know before I comment!

If ever there was a case for House of Lords reform...

@RobertGordonUni thank you food organising such a tremendous graduation event! Was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!

@ScotNational Well done Mhairi… always brought a bit of reality to politics.. despite all the comments … you’re quite an inspiration to so many people . Sad you’re leaving… you’ve been a force for conversational and debate. There’s more to come I’m sure!!

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'Outdated, sexist and toxic'

@STVNews Sad news loved Mhairi’s plain speaking… an inspiration

Mhairi Black has announced she will stand down at the next election citing the 'toxic' work environment at Westminster. i.stv.tv/3CXbcpU

Spent my non contacts today getting the SQA command words and key areas sorted and displayed on the wall @northfieldaca they’re looking good and will hopefully help support pupils in answering questions and knowing where they are in their learning. 👍

@missmclenan @northfieldaca Welcome to the team!!

A great day with the new S1 Crew at @northfieldaca - pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones, just like we’ll be supporting the young people to do next session!

@MrRMckenzie1 @northfieldaca Lovely to meet you all… even if I couldn’t talk after climbing the stairs🫣

S1 Staff Crew day! Welcome to @northfieldaca. A great day of discussion, developments and team building! #crew #resilience #challenge

@RogersHistory Most popular social subject in my school and was in my last school too. 😊

History is not accessible at all to a lot of learners in this country. The exam system, the lack of wholesale content available for different learners, the lack (in my opinion) of energy/commitment put into this area. Far too much is ‘to the top’ and ‘for the top’. This isn’t fair and isn’t good for teachers working with students who require different approaches - for example in special schools. I don’t know if this is the same in other subjects, but in history, it’s bad IMO.

@MissGrantDrama @stmacharacademy @forresacademy1 Congratulations Katie!

Feeling grateful today as one chapter closes and another one opens. Thankful to have worked with the lovely staff, pupils and wider community at @stmacharacademy. Excited to return to @forresacademy1 after the holidays as Acting PT of Drama. Ready for the challenge! 🎭

@RogersHistory I worked in private education for the first 17 years of my teaching … where I’ve taught for the last 10 yrs has been the most fulfilling of my career.

Some teachers choose to work in the toughest environments knowing they will often get the least 'visibility', highest scrutiny and most challenging behaviour. Doing this year in, year out (not for 5 mins) is the 'D-Day 1st wave' of teaching and I personally respect anyone who does this so, so much.

@teachergoals The area of the square on the largest side of any right angled triangle is equal to the combined are of the squares on the other two sides. 🙄

Important reminder! 🙌

Love it!!!

@TeacherBusy Actually they do if you make them a learning resource. Most of my walls were “how do I” walls with one for displays of pupil work. The classroom is the biggest learning resource!

Kids don’t look at display boards. Don’t waste your time.

@BrianMendler Is there greeting the kids at the door by name
