Gonna leave Elon, his right wing click bait and ill educated tweets to his new echo chamber.
Shame, I used to love twitter to connect on science and education.

Our country needs to hear this right now…
This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell
Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred
…and we need our leaders to follow suit.

Camping - not for the first time - and my son genuinely asked if he had a plug socket in his 'room' to charge his kindle.

As a MAT, we've been working to give T&L guidance to our schools
Its crucial they have the agency to make it their own but we wanted to capture the best theory and practical implications somewhere
Its culminated in our T&L Framework

Funny, just about the only people who wear a tie are children at school.
English
@ajjolley @Crapule68 @sputniksteve @A_Weatherall Would you suggest no uniform or something simpler like a white shirt and grey/black trousers?
English
@Crapule68 @sputniksteve @physicoyle @A_Weatherall Uniform policies are increasingly arbitrary impositions rather than being about supposed professionalism in adulthood
We will soon be in a position where the only adults wearing ties are secondary school teachers who feel obliged because they have to enforce tie rules on pupils
English
@ajjolley @Crapule68 @sputniksteve Most schools have had tie and blazer, some tie and jumper, one just a jumper. Same expectation for staff (male) to where a tie.

@physicoyle @Crapule68 @sputniksteve 2 Qs
Are the pupils expected to wear a tie?
Is it an explicit requirement for staff, or just the general practice?
English
@sputniksteve @ajjolley @Crapule68 That is perhaps a bullet dodged!
Did she have a system like at a wedding where you have to wait for the groom to take off his jacket first?
I tend to take my jacket off once the class is in, roll my sleeves up and look like a low grade PM on a trip to a hospital
English
@physicoyle @ajjolley @Crapule68 I once had an interview at a school which insisted men wear jackets all day. It was June and it was hot. I took my jacket off during the interview. I didn't get the job and when I asked for feedback, headteacher rolled her eyes and told me I shouldn't have taken my jacket off.
English
@ajjolley @Crapule68 @sputniksteve Well every secondary school I have worked in over the last 19 years has expected a tie, the only leeway has been smart trousers over a full suit.
The only secondary school in the trust I worked in that accepted no ties was the SEMH school.
English
@Crapule68 @sputniksteve Really
Most schools just require smart casual
Maybe SLT, but I don’t think it’s the norm

Coming back to London next week. Looking forward to seeing the grand-kids, walking in the parks, seeing a movie, using the Underground, getting a coffee, going in to work, meeting colleagues, hoping that tomorrow doesn’t belong to people like this…

Back to the UK tomorrow. I’ve never had such dread about Britain. Coming back to London and knowing how unpleasant it’ll be. The demographic changes and feeling that 🇬🇧 is most against Brits. The lack of functional media. The feeling something big has to happen to restore order.
