Interesting, as professional educator with 25 years’ experience empowering and enabling student voice, to attend @NCTJ_news Class Reps meeting today as a nominated rep for my cohort @NewsAssociates. @theadelites and other reps will defo continue conversation longer-term …

An astonishing interview on @BBCWorldatOne between Trump’s @SebGorka & @sarah_montague. Everyone who cares about journalism and how we access truthful reporting should listen in full from 13:30 (previous segment from 09:10 also useful context) #bbcwato bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Listened to teacher on Radio4 PM stuck with entire Year 5 in Spain after Heathrow disruption. Her verve and calmness, the way she was making it an adventure for the kids (who will now journey for 24 hours by coach and ferry) was a classic example of why teachers are ace.

@RogersHistory The type of horrific murder in modern Britain has shifted. But I think it also almost incontrovertible that it’s considerably lower than in many previous centuries. I believe, with Hugo, that arc of progress does go upwards, with horrific bumps on the way. jstor.org/stable/3828495

I don’t care what anyone says, this sort of stuff didn’t go down half as much as it does now. Britain is screwed as a country. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Down in London for several days with @noisyclassroom. Just had my first 🏊🏻♂️ swimming lesson in 30 years @Leisureforall Brixton Rec before early train to Northampton tomorrow. LO was to “swim very relaxed, and go home like you feel you have used no energy”. Nice 👌 😎 .

@FATCAed @RevRichardColes @elonmusk The problem is I’m pretty certain Elon Musk has tweaked the algorithms so
he doesn’t get properly community noted. Coles is on shaky ground about the right to say untrue things, as others have noted. What is concrete is that truly free forums need fairness as part of freedom.
English
@RevRichardColes @elonmusk We have the community notes.
Men have never walked on the moon, the earth is flat, relatively easy to demystify.
More delicate when it comes to political or religious questions.

Why can’t eduX be this wonderful every day? 🌈

“If there is hope, it must lie in the schools”
Wishing all colleagues returning to work today all the very best for 2025. Whatever context we work in, we have a vital and vitalising vocation. 💰& ⏱️ are short, but are unquantifiable relative to 🌈 and “the audacity of hope” …

Huge thread, probably largely equally applicable to fellow autistic educators …
Mary Doherty 🏳️🌈@AutisticDoctor
So, my PhD by publication has just been approved by @LSBU. “Autistic doctors: leveraging insider perspectives to improve healthcare for autistic people”. I should be ecstatic. I’m not. Why not?? 🧵👇🏻

@olliebray Gosh. That is a set I genuinely *need*. Bookmarked this, too, so that I know to be in touch with you about Lego in education in 2025!
English
Finished building 'Endurance' in LEGO. Fantastic build, detail is great and will make a super display piece. For those who don't know Endurance was the three-masted boat that Sir Ernest Shackleton & crew sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914–17 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

Musk’s repeated explicit support of AfD sickens me. All those I know who know 🇩🇪 well, and care deeply for it as I do, are deeply troubled by this crass & dangerous stupidity. I’m sure most 🇬🇧 teachers, esp of #mfl and #history agree. But I’ll be here until 💡 go out #freespeech

Now on Bluesky, too, with two ‘Harold Raitt’ accounts: mrraitt.bsky.social for education stuff, haroldraitt.bsky.social for community / communications / journalism / politics. I’ll also stay here until the lights go out 💡 , posting my own posts on both platforms for now.

@MrChis6 @adamboxer1 I think we should have a lot more discussion of education unions within all education communities and forums. They have a huge role, there is “power in a union”, and if there’s not vigorous discussion of members’ interests here, then reps get to gatekeep on grassroots discussion!
English
Labour's bill, if passed, will result in me, and all United Learning employees, being paid less. That's pretty wild, and I look forward to the NEU and other unions condemning it outright.

Cracking piece from @FCDWhittaker who’s been through the proposed new schools bill to pick out all the key policies and details leaders need to know Interesting nuggets on new academy intervention powers, flexi-schools and admissions 👇

@SwailesRuth > What it *also* needs is the ease-of-use scrollability of X or Insta, which I know isn’t as easy as it looks, but as a global community which includes huge amounts of expertise (including in computing and UI/UX), I think we should dream big! 🌎 🌍 🌏 📲💬
English
@SwailesRuth > Also, Twitter / X / Facebook / Insta have never been good at collating or aggregating ideas across threads, and particularly across time. Topics constantly pop up anew, without an easy way to build on previous discussion. Very inefficient! Any coders out there want to discuss?

I’ve been back on eduX a few months, but the algorithm mainly pushes me Elon Musk (who I don’t follow) and tedious edufaction spats. So I missed this whole 🏴 Curriculum Improvement Cycle starting up entirely, despite following all relevant accounts. eduX is broken; such a shame.
