@Ms_H_English Hey! Congrats! I’m currently looking to move schools (also an English teacher in ECT2), would you mind if I DM’d for advice?

@HeroicMrT We break up on Wednesday and then have an in-person inset on the Thursday 🙂

I honestly thought everyone broke up for Christmas next Tuesday but it’s literally just us

@GCSE_Macbeth @mr_englishteach I like to use the word “ostensible” whenever talking about something that is a false show

Is there a language term for something like "false politeness"? I don't quite mean understatement. More like passive aggression, but a literary term for it. @mr_englishteach ?

@almawer_ I can absolutely help with this, I live for Autumn

@Team_English1 after having taught all lower-prior attaining sets in my first two years of teaching, can anyone recommend any books or resources on teaching high-level reading and writing skills at GCSE for English Lit? Would love to do some summer reading on this!

@Whinf In every sense

@aaronallison97 24 years and every day I’ve been home so far my mum has asked me if I would rather put on my “big coat” to go out... nothing changes

There's "teacher busy" and "normal busy". When a teacher says they are busy, it usually means they haven't had lunch, been to the toilet or stopped for a single second to acknowledge life for a while.

@tilly_victoriaa I love this

@Oscar_C_M_ Did you hear the American Beauty theme playing in the background?

I just watched a man run the entire length of the High Street chasing a Turkish Delight wrapper and it was kind of beautiful.

omg.... healey willan.... from paramore??? :O

@ellierireland The Tesco meal deal is the ultimate personality test

Ever since seeing the photos of Pete Davidson and Phoebe Dyvenor in Tesco I can’t help but wonder what their meal deal choices would be

Absolutely everything about this week has completely made me doubt whether I have the capability to be a teacher at all, in any respect

Every time someone’s says ‘two households’ in relation to corona restrictions I immediately internally reply ‘both alike in dignity’. Please say I’m not alone.

@LauraPAuthor Yes, 23

Research question: do you know what Tetris is and how old are you? Please don’t say what it is.

How is it a week into the Easter holidays and I have done no marking, no planning and no work on my assignment whatsoever. This next week is not going to be fun for me

@UberFacts @ashleyjrich_ can you imagine if this happened to me

If you lose your thumb, surgeons can replace it with your big toe

Please share, this young man is missing ✨

Truly, we have lost a comedy icon. For me, it will always be this moment. Great writing plus perfect performance = chef’s kiss 🍌 #JessicaWalter
