Susi Bates

@DavidLarkin85 @Mouhssin_Ismail I’ve had this at nearly every interview I’ve ever had. Never really bothered me. Didn’t see it as being ‘interviewed ‘ by pupils. More to see how one interacts with them. Important part of the job no?

@Mouhssin_Ismail As part of the hiring process in a South-East London School, I was "interviewed" by the student council. Whilst I was "answering" their question two Yr8/9s (not sure) were trying to kick each other under the table. Needless to say, I kindly withdrew my application. Madness.

@XpatEducator Yes please!

@easyJet I’m not being rude but you know when the flight is supposed to leave. Loads of flights leave on time. Yours are ALWAYS delayed. Why?????

@SusannahGriff45 Hi Susi, thank you for reaching out. We understand how frustrating delays can be and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. The team is working hard to get everything back on track, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more information. Thanks, Afika

@easyJet - why are your flights ALWAYS delayed….??

EUGH. So now on the plane ( delayed 30 mins). Sat here and informed further delay. WHY??? Just why????? @easyJet

@StottGeorge @fliceverett Oooh I hate that! ‘Can I get a’. Erm no you can’t.

@fliceverett Can I get

Tell me the words and phrases you don't want to hear in 2024. "Date night."

@TeachLeadAAli Great idea. I’d like the slides please.

Held a parent/carer revision information evening tonight. Students sat next to their families. They made notes together. They summarised. They reiterated. They shared ideas. Would highly recommend. Would you like the slides?

@RossMcGill Absolutely not!
