Should teachers wear body cams like police so parents can see their children's behavior in class

@Br0wnEyedGirl__ I hope it's a positive outcome for you both.

My husband has his cancer surgery pre- assessment this morning and tomorrow an appointment with his consultant to find out if the cancer has spread. Extremely worrying time for us both and he is still in recovery from the 2 bleeds on his brain. I hope we have a positive outcome🩷

@ArgyleLife1886 I would have kept him as a reliable backup goalie.

Farewell, Luca Ashby-Hammond. The 'keeper made 2⃣4⃣ appearances for the club. What did you make of his time at Home Park? 🤔 #pafc

@dylanwiliam @MrLandesman @MrARobbins Hi, in your opinion, is that the correct thing for teachers to do?

@MrLandesman @MrARobbins In one of our formative assessment projects, teachers told us they had to recalibrate how much they could expect to cover in a lesson, because when they discovered how many students hadn't understood something, they felt obliged to do something about it...

How many teachers avoid checking for understanding because they are afraid to confront misunderstandings? @MrARobbins

@johncosgrove405 We were bouncing for about 15 minutes as we were in the playoffs, but hey ho, next season.

Today the league ends; to reach the playoffs Argyle has to win while both Luton and Stevenage do no better than a draw, a combination of results so unlikely I don't think it's even worth bothering to hope... but the curse of the fan is that you cannot switch hope off.

@dare_richard It could be a half marathon next. Good effort.

New 15 km PB. Knocked a couple of minutes off:

@Br0wnEyedGirl__ 💚

Been to hospital.The consultant confirmed my husband has cancer. He needs a CTscan & MRI to see if it's spread to his liver or lungs then there might be a problem but they're hopeful that isn't the case.Major surgery is planned.He's taking it all in his stride & remains hopeful🤍

Tomorrow we will have been married 26 years. Today we went to The Waterfront on Plymouth's Hoe. What a great day.

@TTRadioOfficial Nope.

"Teachers need Protected Time for Marking - And English Teachers need more than PE or Maths!" Rae argues in her thought for the day that it's time for Teachers to be given extra time for marking during the school day, by subject area. What do you think? 👇 #teaching #marking #workload #teacherlife #teachertok #teachersoftiktok

I cannot imagine that we would have stayed in the championship if we had made it up, there is too much improvement needed. A few improvements to the squad and take this moment into next season and we will go up!! #pafc

@Doug_Lemov Yes, small prophets is excellent.

Sometimes I miss Detectorists so much. These must be something nearly as good out there to watch. Right?

@GregorSamsa8 @FixingEducation I think that I missed the remarkably easy part, when was that?

Two things can be true... a tangled web and all that. Teaching is sometimes a remarkably easy job, with perks offered by no other profession. Also, teaching is experiencing demographic and technologic changes unparalleled in history, beset by administrative bloat and government oversight, undergoing a full on hostile corporate takeover of curriculum, and dealing with a largely self inflicted crisis of public trust.

Many people genuinely believe teachers have an “easy job” with short hours, summers off, and great benefits. And yet, over the past 7 years, we’ve seen record numbers of teachers leave the profession while fewer people are choosing to enter it. Why leave such an ‘easy job’? 🙄

@Doug_Lemov I've just started, thankfully I did get V3.0.

FYI to new readers, esp those coming thru on the heels of some recent articles. If you read Teach Like a Champion, please be sure to read the 3.0 version even if you're a new to the books. Each new version is intended to replace the older versions, which might not be clear at first. That said if you're a coach you'll probably want to start with The Coach's Guide to Teaching. Cheers!

@fidsta77 Never.

My son just passed his driving test and gone on his first ever solo drive… I’m spending my Saturday evening stalking him on the ‘Find My’ app… do you ever stop worrying about your kids 😭

A great result, and happy scenes post match #pafc

Outside the stadium yesterday. #pafc

@ArgyleMemes Awesome pens, great minds think alike as I had one with Mr yesterday.

I see Clev's weapon of choice is a Bic 4-Color Ballpoint Retractable Pen. A true connoisseur. 🧐 #Pafc

"The injury Joe [Ralls] suffered was on the borderline of surgery. We've come to the conclusion that Joe will go for surgery. He's probably played his last game of the season." - TC Back Stronger, Joe 💪🏼 Should we be looking to tie him down for next season now? 🤔 #pafc

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!
