Yep . That was a (not nice ) surprise at 8.55 am this morning 🙈

Languages are not just another subject in school. Languages are about relationships, understanding and communication. They're about discovering a world beyond your own. They're full-on experiences you wouldn't enjoy otherwise. Languages take every one of us to another level.

@AP_Teaching @Strickomaster It’s only going to be compulsory to offer the 3 sciences not for students to actually have to do single sciences I believe .

@Strickomaster 100%. I think all have value. If compulsory to deliver triple science, should also be to deliver MFL (and humanities - worry new buckets may erode that too). But of course then gov needs to deliver funding and teachers to do this. Not funding pay rises isn't a great start...

Dua Lipa announces that she is now studying A-Level Spanish after passing her GCSE exam in the language.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man? For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick? For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients? For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency? I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle. Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle. How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle? You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life. Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.

@LibbySquires96 I’m at that stage of the term where patience is thin so my standard response is ‘no , I went to teacher training college not clown school ‘ 🤡🤣

@Janroweljmu @misterjgarcia I was about to comment I think the North West was a pioneer in this respect . I learnt Spanish as well as French in secondary school there in 1991! 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

@misterjgarcia And respect to those teacher training providers who championed it!

Respect to those Spanish teachers who introduced it to schools for the first time in the early/mid 00s and struggled with difficult colleagues who didn't want it to happen. The last 20 years have been quite the journey. Ya hemos llegado.

@hurst_glynn Congratulations to you all xx 🎉

Happy 16th Birthday Joshua son, can’t believe how time flies, keep on being you❤️and to celebrate 20 years of marriage on the same day is extra special.💯❤️😍😍😍

@RogersHistory Flight path

Brighten all evenings by replying with your most cringe words or phrases in education today.

@VEverettmfl @Janroweljmu This is an excellent article and for one exam board at least the card task on the speaking test is worth more percentage wise than an essay on the literature paper . Something needs to change .

***New Post*** Let's get the issues of THIS particular A Level in MFL out of the way. It's badly designed and unsuitable even for the tiny few students who take it: whoteacheslanguages.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-pr…

@DavidNautilus1 Have ypu ever thought of a career change ?

What's your best response to the 'teacher's on holiday again?' heckle.

@Janroweljmu Me neither . Going next Friday. .

Looking forward to seeing this. Can’t believe it’s 40 years since I saw its premier!

@sarajcox Peter Andre did a concert in my school in the mid 90s -it was a strict , all girls’ school . He was up and coming then and trying to promote himself . He took his shirt off mid song . Sister Helen (Headteacher) marched to the front and told him to put it back on. He did!

Hey you beauts - did you ever have a celebrity come to your school or work? Tell all please!! The who, what, where & why!! Thanks a trill.

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults. I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

@tweetsbyrayan Cats the musical- the opposite of music to ears 🙈

Linda is doing too much now, everyone just looked at her like this was the worst theatrical performance since Cats the musical. 😭 #TheTraitors

For any MUFC or LFC going to the match. RIP Max 🙏
