Check my story on how I got into software development in today's @Guardian .Thanks to @shaw_and_shaw for the great photo! theguardian.com/new-faces-of-t…

@gemteachesmaths How is the maths teaching going? I've been creating some web apps to help students overcome maths anxiety and boost confidence for faster learning. Would you be interested in trying the free exercises I've created?

This girl did it! From September I will be a secondary maths teacher! I’m so excited for my new adventure ☺️

@switherdenMP @APPGEducation I just sent you an email.

The @APPGEducation is calling for evidence on the Love of Learning. I want to hear from everyone involved in education about improving the curriculum and assessment design, increasing support for teachers, and boosting reading for pleasure. Read more: bit.ly/3Du1KOV

@Duderichy That is possibly by design. Once lesser competent people are in positions of power, they act to remove the talented people who they see as a risk of highlighting their shortfalls.

this is how you lose all your good senior employees with families

@Miss_Snuffy Is it that they want a two tier education system? Not sure that they've thought about the consequences of that... Or maybe they have - which is more concerning!

Too many white middle class people- some teachers on twitter for instance - push the teaching of Stormzy and other such artists over Mozart in schools. They think this is cool, especially when teaching black kids as they think this is ‘relevant’ to their lives. It is the same with denying Shakespeare and other literary greats to various unprivileged kids, as we middle class teachers think such kids cannot access high culture. We also want them to ‘engage’ in the lesson and ‘have fun’. We insist the more traditional authors, musicians etc are male, stale and pale. Gullible kids - often of colour- but not always - are taken in by this and enjoy it on the surface, but they miss out on a real education. I have been attacked mercilessly on here for many years for refusing to teach in this way. Then when we at Michaela do well in terms of results, people refuse to see the correlation: kids of all classes and races etc should be taught traditional content and in a traditional manner. This will ensure success and will avoid a descent into street culture that can ruin their lives.

@DuncanBarkes Those far right thugs are getting out of hand.

@DuncanBarkes Do you think they will try to introduce a modern version of this for the Internet?

@Miss_Snuffy Instead of removing testing, they should increase it - but with more transparency. Modern technology allows for realtime insights on learning progress that would never be possible with traditional testing methods.

“Ideas range from fewer tests and less emphasis on grammar to sex education reform and more children’s agency” What experts? No one has asked me but I guess they don’t think I am an expert. If the above happens, schools in the UK are finished. theguardian.com/education/arti…

@ocrexams Hi. How come the coursework / NEA project of your computer science A-Level doesn't give any focus to modern software development techniques? Some teachers are saying that using anything other than the waterfall model is cheating - which is false.

@historyinmemes How did they not predict laptops to be in the case when Sinclair had already released the Z88 notebook computer in 1987? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge…

This is what they thought 2024 would be like in 1987

@historyinmemes It all makes sense... youtube.com/watch?v=O89o7Q…

@AS44694670 @Bash3neA They call it Nigerian time. 🤣

@Bash3neA Why do the weddings start 3 hours late?🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mam I wish I knew

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Because the change between each difference is always 0. While the left side changes by -1, the right side counteracts by changing with +1. The overall change is 0.

But why 13? 📹 condsty

This is a Black Mirror episode. Definitely turning this “feature” off.

@LetsMakeADiffe8 Does the silence cover using sign language? 😂 Good luck!

Welcome to today’s sign of the day! Today’s sign of the day is “Exam!” Using SSE (With BSL signs!) -Let’s Make A Difference❤️ #BSL #signoftheday #letsmakeadifference #learntosign #education #SSE

@DuncanBarkes It's a bit sinister when you realise that poor people (especially in poorer countries) are affected most by the things the climate activists want.

@DuncanBarkes Do you ever get the feeling that climate activists are only interested in having the power to control people? 🧐 🤣

@TheFigen_ Would you still be saying that if the roles were reversed?

She is so right! 🤣

@ukedchat When you realise that doing well in exams is primarily about learning to write answers that match the marking scheme, you quickly realise how flawed the system is. Experts of exam technique will always score higher than experts of the subject who don't have exam technique.

@Miss_Snuffy Evolution has proven this to be an effective way of survival. Fear of the dark evolved to stop people being eaten by predators in dark places. A bit of fear in education could be a good thing. 🤣

Catching a kid off guard with a question is ‘fear based learning’. Yes, you read that correctly.🙄 What should we put on the West’s gravestone?
