Hey @Tate In the espresso bar accessible loo THIS is the disabled alarm. Care to comment?

How is the sheer volume of 💩 and 💦 managed at #crufts2026 ? @clarebalding @ClaudiaWinkle

@Martina Yes!

Is this a show worth watching? I have no idea…

Why do I feel shame for this @officestudents report about @LeedsTrinity ? I guess because, like so many colleagues and governors), I knew that what was happening was wrong, who were the drivers, yet didn’t speak out forcefully enough to prevent it. officeforstudents.org.uk/news-blog-and-…

@apf102 A good read. For me the key issue is that learning across all subject domains is treated as the same. This doesn’t stand up to either common sense or academic scrutiny.

@DeborahMeaden Yes I’ve been wondering what the US public are making of it. We only seem to be hearing about the public response in Ukraine, Russia, Paris, Berlin…

I would be interested to know how it went down in the US?

It is a rare event for me to repost something from a religious leader but the Pope is spot on. It’s a shame that figures in our government can’t take a similarly principled stance.

@kaitlancollins Why not relocate them to the USA?

Where exactly are you suggesting they should go? And two, are you saying they should return after it's rebuilt, and if not, who do you envision living there? President Trump: “I envision…the world’s people. I think you’ll make that into an international, unbelievable place. I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable…I don’t want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle East..."

@lgreen @johnstonglenn I’ve tried Ulysses a few times and failed. I can manage bits of it (eg Molly Bloom’s soliloquy) but overall it is just too much for me. Do you remember when, just after my brain surgery, I called you ‘Leopold Bloom’?! That must have been around the time of one of my attempts.

@johnstonglenn well at least he had a room with a view that made for some ‘nice’ coffee table films

EM Forster on Ulysses: “Even the police are said not to comprehend it fully”

@arusbridger 🤮

You have to wonder if the people vetting new peers have access to X/Twitter

Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇

@realmomma47 @KirstieMAllsopp I don’t do it. This sort of stuff has always creeped me out tbh

@KirstieMAllsopp Trust you to jump on the bandwagon it’s called banter we all do it

Do you think this all a bit unfair on Gregg? If so find your wife/GF/Sister/Mum and ask if they think it’s OK for you/their partner to make a comment about your bedroom activities to a woman you/they have just met at work.

@SCottinghatt @MrZachG Dialogic and interactive = open questions to establish understanding and reinforce and share meaning, dialogic and non interactive = teacher summary drawing on multiple perspectives voiced in dialogic/interactive phase. No single approach is ‘better’ or ‘worse’!

@SCottinghatt @MrZachG They illustrate, using (science) classroom transcripts, how EACH of 4 communicative approaches can contribute to meaning making. Authoritative and non-interactive =lecture, authoritative and interactive = q and a with teacher steering, 2/2

Nice work from @MrZachG dispelling myths and working to explicitly help us make our explanations better!

@Dr_Pam_Jarvis A slight nuance - social construction (eg from more experienced others) is also important. The key thing in teaching is ‘do not assume that what is said is what is heard’. Years of research evidence supports this.

It’s a debate about what knowledge *is* in the human brain- building an inner construction of the world within the neuronal pathways from a wide range of stimuli or being ‘told’ things to be remembered for a test. Biology indicates the former

If you’re interested in #MathsEd or #EvidenceBasedPractice this is a must-read. It is also extremely well-written, accessible to all irrespective of maths ed knowledge. #MathematicsEducation

@ProcessEdu A cheery thought - I don’t think you’re wrong though

@lgreen @paul_bower @LevyCllrs @Dzidra78 @zahid4Labour @basat_m @McrLabour I now use a mobility scooter and this stuff is a nightmare. People parked blocking drop curbs is bad enough but this takes the biscuit

@paul_bower @LevyCllrs @Dzidra78 @zahid4Labour @basat_m they are completely complacent - MCR @McrLabour completely take Levenshulme voters for granted… shocking from the party that should be for the people

Would like to know what @LevyCllrs @Dzidra78 @zahid4Labour @basat_m are actually doing to address pavement parking. We don’t need a change in national legislation to begin to tackle this blight - it requires active Cllrs who give a damn and political will to challenge offenders

@nuttallam No need for the ‘run’ bit.
