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.

Justice for the circle based pyramid guy on #thechase

@MBDscience teachers we don’t want to leave. That being said I’m for this proposal if these peeps aren’t screwed over further.

@MBDscience No absolutely not. I used to be all for this but there is a two year generation of teachers who got no golden hello & then no bursaries who would have less than five years left roughly, fewer if they work in London. They’re at the top of the pay scale so no pay rises. They’re the

Instead of another [unfunded] pay rise, I'd wipe a proportion of the student loan debt, increasing for each year teaching. Most of us won't ever pay it all off anyway, but it's an extra couple of hundred pounds a month in the bank.

@OhLottie Ahhhh mirroring the month of October 😂

@rosethechemist Honestly, absolutely fine! Then rapid decline 📉😂

Things you don’t expect to say at work: “My skirt’s disintegrating!” And reader, indeed it was. 🤪🤦🏽‍♀️

@MBDscience And when you have questions they just ignore you 🙃 we’re all in the wrong job.

Buying a home is such a scam. Solicitors inventing fees for all sorts of nonsense. The invoice I've been sent has added an entire year's worth of savings onto the cost of deposit. I had to work for a year to pay for this woman to essentially mail merge some paperwork.

I’m not one for posting kids you teach on insta/tiktok/twitter. But I cannot stop watching Mrs Crippen & class class!!! #NFeLementary

@Mr_Raichura Nah, kids are kids.

Would your pedagogy be different in a classroom with 100% of pupils on free school meals compared to a classroom with 0% on FSM?Comment reasons below.

@MBDscience I’m so jealous 😭😭😭😭

My entire timetable is just KS3. I reckon this is the closest I'll ever come to being a primary teacher.

@adamboxer1 How does just answering questions work for students who are beginning English? Are they answering in their home language? I would be very interested in your (and alls) thoughts on this as EAL provision is my downfall.

It's quite something that this has been BY FAR my most engaged-with tweet for months. Most of the engagement has been entirely negative from people saying they would have hated my lessons. My general reply: You definitely wouldn't. You'd probably love them. Because you'd learn loads, and have a teacher who was willing to put in the hours to make sure you were incredibly well supported in your studies, and never left with uncertainty about how to make good learning decisions. Learning is fun, and knowing things is better than not knowing things. Anyone is more than welcome to come visit and see me (or my substantially more effective colleagues) teach and judge for yourselves. Alternatively, you can grab yourself a Carousel Teaching account for a pittance and watch videos of it too.

100%!

@mark_macrombie @ShakinthatChalk Honestly it would be fantastic. 3 or 4 days a week, just teaching - what a life.

@rosethechemist @ShakinthatChalk I imagine suddenly having your mortgage paid off etc frees you up psychologically. Then you have the freedom to choose *not* to do things, or reduce hours or even take a risk and change role.

I’ll get called a liar but I’m in the 2% here. I would carry on teaching. I might take a year’s sabbatical perhaps.

@oldandrewuk @kerryleelondon Yeah of course?

Teachers (In the UK), have you had lock down training? @kerryleelondon

A helpful reminder from @YouGov that Twitter is not the real world

@MsGHist @Pirongs 😍 thanks! I already have a planner for next year but I’m a wasteful consumer 😭🤣

@rosethechemist @Pirongs I’ll get a pic

Came home to this gorgeous planner waiting for me ❤️ thank you @Pirongs

@MissCatnach @TeacherTapp You would get this in other careers. Why would it not be normal for us?

I look forward to seeing the results of this one tomorrow on @TeacherTapp - I personally cannot fathom why anyone who isn't doing the job anymore should continue to get paid for it?! Blows my mind.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was

Hi all, We have been awarded extra funding and are creating a Male Underachieving Pupil Premium English Tuition Set to try to improve our results. Miss Henson, our new Head of English, will be in charge of the MUPPETS from September. Thanks x
