Loving this quote (one of many other epically good ones to illustrate points made) from @gavinoattes new read: A head full of everything- inspiration for teenagers with the world on their mind.

I asked a first year pupil to explain what she knew about armistice day…. Before our two minute silence on Monday, “ it is a day when soldiers and veterinarians are remembered for what they did in the war” We corrected that little glitch and moved on…

I’ve started reading Mick Herron’s Book, Slow Horses. A ‘captivating’ read it says…all well and good, but by p.14, I’m staggered by the misuse of the apostrophe. Do @BaskervilleJMP no longer proof read their published texts?

@primaryteachew Get yourself a pencil extender… from @cultpens cultpens.com/products/e-m-p… (this is the cheapest - tons of others available)

I have no words.

@theDTguy Four but I wish it was three

I’m leaving! Goodbye, it’s been emotional #leavers2024 #newjob

@vicgoddard Shocking- disappointing and clearly a disgusting misjudgment by SLT. Name that school; they should be utterly ashamed. I wish your sister a happy and fulfilling retirement and respect in whatever she does from now on. 👏👏🙌

My sister retired from teaching today after 38 years in the classroom in one school. No one from SLT spoke to her. No staff gathering organised at all. A card - that’s it. She dedicated herself to her craft. Turned down promotions. Wanted to be a great history teacher. 1/2

@DarrellWakelam I wouldn’t worr about the varnish, I’d be more concerned that 1986 was 38 years ago!

I made this little sculpture in 1986 😁😮 It was my little homage to Picasso, and it’s followed me around. I always liked it, but was disappointed as I’d varnished it, badly 🙁 . . . so, I’m reworking it. It’s only taken me 38 years. 🤔

@LeeBraganza Pooding ♥️

Hardly seen the girls this afternoon as they've been busy in the kitchen. Finally got my menu. Can't wait to try 'gracal molee.'

@Crapule68 @emmccatt We pay taxes to pay our own salaries🤣

@JudithRalston Hmmm sadly not here, it’s steadily pouring in Aberdeen!

Good morning! The sun has got its hat on here at Mission Control

Sad to hear about the passing of @Rob7Burrow what a guy. He made me aware of @mndassoc and this terrible disease. His legacy both on and off the 🦏field, his memory and charitable legacy will live on. Thoughts with his family. #mnd #robburrows

Snowboarding next week … 🤔 maybe, maybe not . Might be too accident prone for that!

Just had my first ever golf lesson. To be fair even I was astounded that I hit it first time and then got a nice 134yds. Impressive technology they use nowadays. Think I have found my new sporting love. The thwack noise, so cool. Never to old to start eh? #teachertwitter #golf

@ilovenostalgia Maths teacher, she was inept at throwing too!

@ilovenostalgia Yup still have a scar on my forehead from one; meant for the boy behind.

Do you know what this is?

Today in goose week bake off… they made bread, sausage rolls, cinnamon swirl pancakes (dropped scones) milk shakes and showstopper cupcakes! #portlethenacademy #teachertwitter #bakeoff

Bake off today…. Bring it on. The soggy bottoms were so yesterday! Today will be handshakes all round I reckon! #gooseweek #teachertwitter

Got to know some more pupils at an all girl session @AdvSnowsports yesterday. They got tasters in both skiing and snowboarding. Thanks to the coaches Stuart and Ramone for their patience and to Jamie for his excellent organisation. A great day, though we got soaked on way back!

@RetirementTales @ParkerPens @FaberCastell @cultpens Ha ha ‘nibbled’ ! Nah, nibbed- got to love a predictive fail!

@RetirementTales I still have my @ParkerPens at home and an Osmiroid italic nibbled number. More recent bought some fab @fabercastell fountain pens and the new Parker hooded nib number all from the fabulously fabulous @cultpens

In the 1980s, a law was passed, stipulating that every secondary school pupil in the land must own a Parker Vector fountain pen.
