How many of you came into teaching thinking it was the perfect job to align with having a family? Same holidays. Home at a sensible time. A career that fitted around family life. Now the biggest group leaving the profession are women aged 30 to 39. That isn’t

Thanks to the editorial team at @thetimes for allowing me to pay tribute to Mr Lawrence in today's paper. The piece is available online - thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

28 yrs ago St George’s lost a great headmaster in tragic circumstances. I wouldn’t be in broadcasting without the help and guidance of Mr Lawrence. He will always be remembered for his kindness, energy & enthusiasm. He wanted to give every pupil an opportunity. RIP Mr Lawrence 🙏🏿

@Bluebirdlouise @Nigella_Lawson Let me know…

@unityteach @Nigella_Lawson i am imminently going to find out!

Sticky Chocolate Pudding is #RecipeOfTheDay. It may seem alarming to pour boiling water over a batter before it goes in the oven, but that’s what you do in this recipe: it makes the batter form both sponge and sauce as it bakes nigella.com/recipes/sticky…

@nikkibissett @thosethatcan ‘Bare’ means very

@thosethatcan ‘Bare commotion’ or is it ‘bear’ - apparently this means a bit of a scuffle?

Teen slang gets better and better. When I’m distracted by work and not listening: ‘Don’t leave me unread, Mum.’ And describing two people hard to tell apart: ‘It’s just him in another font.’ Do you have more?

@miffylawrence I’m pretty sure the answer is ‘not well’. I shall have a listen!

Such an interesting reminder of the importance of welcoming neurodiversity in our public institutions. How well do our schools offer these adaptations, and how can simple tweaks help us do better? @unityteach bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

@RogersHistory Wow. I live virtually next door to Brampton and have a 14yr old academic son who I assumed I would send there for 6th form. This is food for thought.

Goodness, want more? It gets even worse still, read this… 12ft.io/proxy?q=https%…

School can get excellent results, post reels and pics of kids, plastering socials with them. But also treat staff and kids like dirt. One such school getting the plaudits and attention today puts a red slip in the results envelope of the kids they don’t want to take a picture of for socials and lots of kids leave in tears. On further inspection of said school, I found it has a well documented history of losing tribunals with teachers on discriminatory grounds. Reading that, it sounds like a toxic hell hole. Social media is a complete fake trough of turd at times.

@miffylawrence @Klass I think you might have tagged the wrong thing- unless it’s a niche fortnite project…

@EdwardAdoo Ooh my son has the poppy one. Does that mean I can sell it for 695?!

Missed out big time on these when they were released. Now £695.00 each insane.

Had such a lovely morning @JfkSend Waterloo class at @ASL_Bridgets cafe. We enjoyed tea, snacks and chats, independent ordering and communicating. Was so much fun, we (students and staff!) want to go every day…

Here's to the man who once in a while gives you a smile. Let's celebrate the lives of people with disabilities who do ordinary things and live ordinary lives.

If anyone knows of any primary or SEN schools in East London who are looking for the most incredible teacher for a September start, hit me up! 🖤 #EduTwitter

@GOSH_School The MLD position has the job description/more info of the art/core subject role?

Waterloo class enjoyed an educational visit to West Ham park. Pupils enjoyed looking at the icy fountain and the birds flying through the air. The sun was shining and we explored all the corners of the park! ⛲️❄️🌳

@katieuscott @EdwardAdoo Thank you

@unityteach @EdwardAdoo Im so sorry for your loss. That must have been horrific. I hope the lovely comments bring you joy and the others can be ignored. Sending love.

R.I.P Mr Lawrence 🙏🏿

@Cooperlooops @EdwardAdoo Thank you

@MrRmps @EdwardAdoo That’s such a lovely thing to read. He inspired me to teach too. Thanks.

@unityteach @EdwardAdoo I’ve just read of your dad’s life. He is such an inspirational man. It is so sad what happened. I am so proud to be a teacher and want to do the best for everyone in my job - it’s clear your dad is someone we can all look up to- still to this day. Thanks.
