@Headteacherchat I’m 4 days. I get the same PPA as full time staff so plan for 5 days and do all reports and patents evenings too.

Anonymous query: If a teacher is on a four-day timetable, is it reasonable for an HLTA or cover supervisor to take the class on day five, given that all the lessons are already planned?

Nursery admits manslaughter of toddler in its care bbc.in/4c5nwH6

@Hasan_Merali Charity shops also a big hit with my son when he was younger. Bonus than he could choose something for £1 and think it was the best day ever 🤣

Toddlers don’t need Disney… they need Home Depot at 6am 😅 To them, it is a theme park. Drawers to open, lights to stare at, rugs to touch. While we chase big plans, they find joy in the simplest things. They don’t need more. They see more. Maybe the lesson isn’t how to entertain them… it’s how to see the world like they do. Joy isn’t complicated. We just make it that way. VC: mombrainbrooke on TT

I was just reading about the cases of invasive invasive meningococcal disease in Kent. I noticed this early symptoms list and thought it may be worth sharing... "The onset of illness is often sudden and early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are vital. Early symptoms, which may not always be present, include: - a rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass - sudden onset of high fever - severe and worsening headache - stiff neck - vomiting and diarrhoea - joint and muscle pain - dislike of bright lights - very cold hands and feet - seizures - confusion/delirium - extreme sleepiness/difficulty waking This came from this page where there is more... gov.uk/government/new…

🦠 During Covid school closures, meningitis vaccine uptake among UK 14-year-olds fell to 58.3%, leaving 4 in 10 teens unprotected. Now those teenagers are at university, and outbreaks are increasing Read the full report ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/1…

@spectator So we all just need to have a next door neighbour who doesn’t work and is safe, fit and able to care for young children…

'Parents don't realise that nurseries are day orphanages and warehouses for their children' Child psychotherapist Erica Komisar says parents are being bullied and misled into believing that daycare is good for their children, aruging that nurseries are effectively 'day orphanages' that cannot provides babies with the same safety and security provided by their parents. @EricaKomisarCSW @NatashaFeroze

There is no mention here of rashes in the armpit or groin. They were the only rashes with my son. I only found that out after he had died, by looking at his body.

If anyone would like to see a photo of a particularly pugnacious Puffin, this is your lucky day.

Remembering the Angels of Dunblane and their teacher on the 30th anniversary of that tragic day. Thoughts, love and prayers to their families, friends and everybody affected. #Dunblane #DunblaneMassacre #30Years @allontheboard

@tracheleyspence @UnofficialOA And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@NattySo2 @UnofficialOA IDK ask a teacher.

@SickoftheSwamp @UnofficialOA I’ve taught for nearly 20 years. And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@NattySo2 @UnofficialOA You must not be a teacher. A teacher would never make that statement. 😂😂

@MissBrownToYou1 @UnofficialOA And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@NattySo2 @UnofficialOA Unless you’re a teacher, ironically.

@foxcot @UnofficialOA And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@UnofficialOA @NattySo2 Funnily enough being a teacher means you need to learn bladder control

@UnofficialOA And like any skill, different children will master it at varying ages and stage.

@NattySo2 Holding it for a bit is often necessary in life is the point I’m making. It is not always possible to go the moment you need to. Schools should prepare kids for life beyond school.

@UnofficialOA So we need to teach children bladder control incase they become a coach driver in the next decade or so? Come on…

@NattySo2 If you work at a call centre, they time how long you go for. If you’re a coach driver, you can’t stop whenever you feel like it. When kids are at the cinema, they often hold it in through choice because they don’t want to miss the movie. I could go on…

@FeldsparElodie @UnofficialOA And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@NattySo2 @UnofficialOA Teachers can’t

@shrike4113 @UnofficialOA And it’s part of the job that many teachers dislike and find restrictive and uncomfortable. So why would we do the same to children who are still growing and developing?

@NattySo2 @UnofficialOA Literally any teacher…

A woman has said she was "failed" by Travelodge after a sex attacker was given a key to her hotel room - where he assaulted her while she was asleep. 29 year old Kyran Smith lied to staff by telling them he was the victim's boyfriend - and was given her room number and key card. The woman - who can't be named for legal reasons - reported the attack to the hotel, which offered her a £30 refund. Travelodge later admitted this was an inappropriate response.
