@IndiaTales7 Just spent a week in Japan. This list does not do the country justice. Remarkable place

Incredible Japan 🇯🇵🧵 Open the Thread and Be Amazed🧵 1. Unreal but True

@DiaryofaSickGrl Had gall stones…sad praying for the end

What’s the most painful medical thing that’s ever happened to you?

@Strickomaster In my opinion this is one of the biggest threats to wellbeing and retention.

@mrprimary21 @NEUnion @NAHTnews @Headteacherchat

@ArborEdu users can you help. Trying to print a period timetable in an easy to see grid view. Can see how to do this for a subject but not by timetable period.

Very rarely venture on here anymore but have to thank @ChichesterDC benefits staff for their helps with my dad today. A difficult situation made easy. Thanks to those involved

Been back here for less than 24 hours and there remains this polarised row about one school. Literally nothing has changed in two years. See ya!!

@Tim_Legg Great thanks mate. Hope you and yours are well

@tomgarfield Dip in and dip out would be my suggestion , too many are on here for self promotion! It is not what it used to be …… hope you are well mate 👍

It has been more than two years since my last post on here. I am pretty sure I am genuinely happier for avoiding it. Should I give it another go??

I’m sure this has been done to death already, but the ‘deliberate grade inflation by teachers’ narrative is so misinformed and disingenuous. The grades are those that teachers think students deserve without the quotas set by the sorting process of exams.

@BBCSport not sure whose bright idea it was to interview Cavendish during the crucial part of the Olympic road race rather than letting us concentrate on the action but cheers for spoiling it. No offence to Cav by the way

Absolutely this.

Thanks for an unforgettable summer, @England. Real fans could not be more proud. Saka has been sensational and nothing detracts from that. We’re finally back as a major force.

It doesn’t matter if your’e a classroom teacher, middle leader of member of SLT. This next 3 weeks is going to be tough. We’ve all been through so much. Be kinder than you feel, friendly than you’ve got the energy for and help each-other. We will get through this together.

@OfficialPLT_CS Done

@tomgarfield Hi Tom, sorry your order has been delayed especially as you ordered with next day delivery. Please DM us with your order number and email address and we'll be able to help - Casey

@OfficialPLT quite happy to charge £5.99 for next day delivery but if it is delayed and so not next day don’t do refunds. Surely if the service you pay for isn’t delivered that is exactly what refunds are for

@missdcox Reading

Your secondary school has 30 mins extra. What would be the best for LEARNING? a) same amount of lessons but add the time to make each longer b)redivide the day to include an extra lesson c)for something different -not a specific lesson e.g. tutorial or private study d)other

@kas397 @EllaRobsedu Know this one!!! Especially great when being observed!

@EllaRobsedu I feel your pain xxxx

When your nightmare comes true! Facilitating online training and had a complete tech failure half way through. Laptop chucked me out of the call, completely froze and then shut itself down and refused to start back up with no way of communicating with the participants! 🤯🤯🤯

Signs of a Positive school culture: * clear vision not division * input/feedback from all * people first * communication line is open * trust/respect foundational * team focused * praising more than correcting * everyone matters * commitment focused What else?

If you've ever had experience in turning round a failing school and shifting culture, you don't make negative comments, you stand shoulder to shoulder.
