@AdamBPrimary Trainers! Comfort is key!

Does anyone know anyone who make story spoons? I need some for the little red hen! Happy to pay. 💙

In the last five years, I have taught… 2018/19 - Year 1 2019/20 - Year 2 2020/21 - Year 1 2021/22 - Year 1 2022/23 - Year 1 And for the academic year 2023/24 it’s going to be ….you guessed it …YEAR 1 🤐 I generally love year 1 I won’t lie! 😂

News just in! NEU officially accepts government pay offer of 6.5%! 86% of members have voted yes to accepting the pay offer. No more strikes in the autumn term.

@MrB_abc Yesssss👏🏼

Things I do as a teacher, which is the opposite to edutwitter: - Switch off in the holidays - Don't feel the need to sleep all day at the start - Don't moan about waking up at the time I do every day - See no need to spend £12 on a pack of pens from tesco I'm sure theres more

@NEUnion Is this going to be back dated? And will it be fully funded?

Today, Govt has offered a 6.5% pay rise for teachers with extra money for schools and action to tackle workload. Our executive has decided to recommend to members that they accept the offer. Your hard work and strength have got us to this point. Now we need to know what you think. Read more here. 👉 neu.org.uk/campaigns/pay-… #PayUpNow #SaveOurSchool

This is not Section 28 coming back again….this is a lot worse. If these reports are true…this not only allows the abuse of trans children, but it does not protect such a small minority of children against the hate in this world. As a teacher, I do not stand by this!!!

@dayglowj0e @jjjummer This is too true!! And I hate it!

gay dating in london is either you let someone string you along and treat you like shit or you dare stand up for yourself and set one boundary but then they flake out and ghost you. like why are you screening my messages but watching my stories? we’re both pushing forty come on!

There is one word in this years phonics test that is just so so cruel. Most kids won’t even know what it is and it’s ridiculous to make a 5 year old read it…even my greater depth didn’t get it! MEAN!

@SwailesRuth I know exactly what scheme you are referring to because I had this happen to me this year. It was awful! I refused to let them intrude my lesson and asked them to politely leave…the conversation afterwards wasn’t good as I didn’t feel I could take on any of their advice.

I’ve now met several teachers who have had their lesson stopped by a consultant, who has intervened and taken over, because they were taking their flash cards from the front to the back, rather than from the back to the front. Apparently this shows “a lack of fidelity” thoughts?

@missdcox Kids call us by first names! So so weird when I first started but I’d never go back!

Tell me something that your school does that is unique (or not many schools do it) I’ll start…. Our year 11s can wear smart suits instead of the usual school uniform (11-16 school)

I have a link governor meeting this week at school all about my subject (SMSC). I have a feeling they are trying to get me OFSTED ready but honestly the anxiety of this…I feel sick!! Any help greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any questions/answers for SMSC?

@gamesetandmatt I loved loved that movie haha

I just can’t. I can’t write anything without wanting to use expletives 🤬

@MissJanesMFL Lol! This made me LOL! Like we can afford a lunch at harrods 😂

@mr_pimlett 100% I supported in London for an hour but then I did what I wanted to do and that’s ok. I’m not getting paid for it

Are we on day 5 or 6 of action now? Whatever it is, don’t cross a picket and do whatever you want with your unpaid day, be it yoga or a day trip to the beach, what counts is that we are not in. Solidarity forever.

@RogersHistory @Channel4 @ITV @netflix It’s not even about them teaching for 2 weeks….it’s signing a contact of some sort that progress will be made, targets met, pressures from SLT…they need to understand that it’s not just about standing in front of kids and ‘teaching’

It's high time @Channel4 @ITV or @netflix create a documentary where celebrities who hate teachers go in and teach in a tough school for 2 weeks.

I used to be a massive @karren_brady fan!! But to negatively comment on something that she has no idea about is atrocious. Not only are teachers striking for Better pay conditions but most teachers are striking for a better education for our kids. Karen - you are privileged. 😴

@missWalker_edu I HATE THIS! Hate it! - also hate hot teacher role play fantasy that some guys have.

@DavidNautilus1 100% yea

So let’s say that you applied for a job at my school. And when you came for your interview, you learned that we didn’t have any electronic whiteboards. Every class had a big dry wipe and every teacher was an expert at using it. Would you accept a job offer?
