@DeputyGrocott Thanks. This has been my day.... a trainwreck of an observed lesson with y11 demonstrating they have learnt nothing and me being asked why not, even though last 3 lessons were on revising this subject.

Always remember that teaching is a job that people put their heart,soul & emotions into.Nobody wants to go in & do a bad job.When you deal with humans who put everything into the job they do,just make sure you’re careful when it comes to feedback & criticism. Support,don’t squash

@junglegirl666 Do you have a brand you recommend?! I’ve been wanting to try them!

I don’t know why as a 25-year-old woman I still feel embarrassed that I prefer pads over tampons when I’m on my period. Does anyone else feel this way? Can we end this stigma please? No period product shaming! Wear what you’re comfortable with! You’re not gross!

@BobbumsUK @aaron_p_edwards Sadly, she doesn't actually reference Jesus at all.

@aaron_p_edwards What's the problem? She's preaching Jesus.

Behold the corrosive fruit of feminism.

Rev. Deana Dudley, the she/they lesbian impastor of Toronto MCC, checks every sterotype and caricature box during a brief 10 minute homily. And we mean every one.

@ARCpricealex All teachers have to use maths to interpret data and progress. We all do statistics, heads of dept do budgets. My head teacher is a PE teacher, but also demonstrated he has the maths and English skills to progress.

Haircuts are one of the most effective ways to change up your look, but that’s also why it’s important to pick the right one.

@RogersHistory My teacher taking us on school trips in their own car to the art gallery, then she'd sit in the coffee shop and tell us to look round.... did this multiple times in one year!

What was 'normal' when you started teaching that ppl would be like 'what the heck' today?
English
@SueJen67 @rosethechemist Nope. She may have worked hard and gained knowledge,, but there is a distinct difference between knowledge and wisdom.

Gill, babes, last year four of the classes in my dept only had a qualified teacher for three months. A teacher left last week and we can’t replace them. My A Level physics students have no teacher.
Us striking is not the problem. 8 days is not the problem.

Last year, school strikes resulted in 25 million school days being lost cumulatively. Children should not have to suffer a repeat of this disruption. I’m announcing that we will introduce minimum service levels in schools so that pupils get the education they need and deserve.

@ashleigh_pain So should I NOT be taking my laptop with 2 scemes of work to plan and resource on cruise tomorrow? That might please husband but leave me agitated that I've not prepped for after half term (HOF for humanities)

@RogersHistory Worked out that as a HOF where we've been directed to man the time out room 3 periods, and have a form with 2.5 hours form time I have 70% less ppa than last year, but 2 more gcse courses to oversee.....

Teachers - is this the most tired/fatigued you think you've ever been at this stage of a school year? (explain in comments please!) Interested in this after various posts I've seen on here this week...

@GeographyLeahy @Mrs_G33k And mine is omclachlan@kingstoneacademy.co.uk if you're happy to share! Many thanks x

@GeographyLeahy @missgeog92 Love the layout! Please can you share the template?

Anyone else at the point of the summer hols where they’re like “let’s just get on with it” ?

@TeachLeadAAli It should be a collective income. The individual income calculation undermines those who value traditional families where one parent stays home to be a parent as their full time job.

@MissHudsonHist Church youth group. Just celebrated 25th wedding anniversary. Still go to church every week (it's a great place to meet people and have a socisl life that is so supportive)

If you’re married or in a relationship tell me where you met your partner? I need ideas! 😂

@UnofficialOA I want to strike, can strike and be ok, and want to to support the funding of future teachers (I'm nearly done at 50), but my daughter starts ect year in sept, and I don't want strikes to cause ects hardship. Tough decision. Likely to vote reject,but expecting to be in minority
English
The NEU says we are guaranteed the 6.5% (3% government funded) even if we reject.
So now I believe we should reject - as recommended by lots of districts.
However, the NASUWT (as usual) have been less active than the NEU and striking without them will accomplish nothing.
English
@missradders We can't cave at 6.5 not back dated and not near wales and Scotland scales. My school is on the English side of welsh border and teachers will leave. Got to reject.
English
@TTRadioOfficial @RogersHistory Reject. It is not going to solve recruitment and retention and is not on par with Scotland or Wales. Plus, We will have redundancies due to not being fully funded.
English
Union members - are you prepared to accept the government’s pay offer from yesterday?
We’ll use your tweets throughout the weekend’s programming… let us know your thoughts below and we’ll retweet them to our followers
English
@jonnybid Not accepting 6.6 without other work conditions being agreed. Wales and Scotland week ahead of this offer, so no.
English
If this is accurate, and fully funded, I think a lot of teachers would seriously consider it at this point. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/0…

@bennewmark Been through it all, and still seem to default to retrieval starter, teacher led expo, activity, check for understanding.... lots of story telling and questioning, and mad diagrams on the board to show my thought process

What are the examples of the fashions and trends that have influenced schools over the last twenty years? So far I have personalised learning, data led teaching and progress in every lesson..
