@andrewsduncan1 @SimonCalder It’d be a connection to another business class flight.

@SimonCalder The flight only takes 1 hour 18 minutes. Why would you want business class. Do they serve Champagne and canapés just after takeoff?

British Airways restores Heathrow-Guernsey link.
But why?
Partly, to keep an Airbus A319 occupied in the middle of the day.
Also, to cash in on the island's premium travellers who want to connect worldwide.
On my flight, Club was full – economy half-empty.

@ivanthegrave @Ria1984 Some do. Many don’t.
One of my ex-pupils left to be “homeschooled”. He helps his dad with his roofing business. He’s 14, been doing that for the past 18 months ever since he left to be “homeschooled.”

@Ria1984 That's what unschooling is. But I wouldn't generalize it to all homeschoolers. Some do a good job.
English
Oh please. Homeschooling in a nutshell, is doing things with kids all week that working parents do with them on weekends, and calling it education.
Going to a farm, to soft play, to the library, to the park, is not education…it’s needy mums, that can’t be away from their kids.

Homeschooling, in a nutshell, is refusing to outsource your child's formation to strangers with a curriculum you didn't choose.

@educator4ever36 @MisterMacWaffle The same comment holds true for Texas by the way
English
@educator4ever36 @MisterMacWaffle A moderate republican could get 45% of California. Why not 45% of the electoral votes?
The all or nothing system for 48 of the states is ridiculous!

This is EXACTLY what happens when the public schools fail to teach American history or civics.

@SandyofSuffolk Dear Sandy.
I need breakfast club. I pay for it.
You are a cow.
English
The excuse 'We need breakfast clubs at school so we can get to work on time' won't wash.
Either get a job starting at 9.30 or pay a childminder or family member to look after your child at 8am and take them to school at 9.
Like we used to.
And don't forget to brush their teeth and use the loo instead of nappies before you pop off to work too.
Like we used to.

Gas prices in US has fallen 20% since start of Iran war, while in UK it’s risen 50%.
Because gas can be priced domestically
We must licence all our offshore and onshore gas fields to produce and consume domestically
This will lower bills and lower cost of living

@JohnBeckerEA Anyone who’s not a Nazi like you lot maybe?

@BhavaniVadde @nigelsutherland @metpoliceuk I’m in more disbelief in the Nazi fuckers taking the abuser’s side on here.
Then I remembered I’m on Twitter, which is full of them.
Stay strong. That dickhead doesn’t speak for all of us!
English
Still in disbelief that this happened to me in #Balham yesterday. I was walking alone with my ear pods in & stopped as I thought he was asking for directions. Instead it was racist abuse. Filmed a few seconds of it. Have reported to @metpoliceuk & am giving a statement next week
English
@FixingEducation To be fair, I’m England you can earn an A with 60%
English
Many in education have been convinced that an “equal interval grading scale” is more fair.
Under this system, a 60% = a B instead of a D.
Would those who support this trend trust a doctor or pilot who scored a 60% on their final exams?

@sophielouisecc @mrcharlesamos Don’t forget most of us legal immigrants pay way more into the system than we take out.

Boomer pensioners have taken £1.20 out of the welfare state for ever £1 they've paid in.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

@danbarker @BenGrahamUK Shh. Reform nazis don’t like facts.

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?
English
@PaulGarvey4 @tes Yeah blazers are pretty dumb, but they keep you warm when the school turns the heating off in March!
English
@GrumpyMathTeach @tes I’m pretty ambivalent about schools having a uniform, or not. I’d say it’s up to them, but this is about those utterly silly, expensive and useless things called blazers.
English
While most secondary schools require students to wear blazers, nearly half of teachers would prefer young people to wear ‘joggers and a polo’ or no uniform, exclusive polling reveals

🚨🇬🇧 CHINESE MIGRANT MP VOTES TO WEAKEN JURY TRIAL RIGHTS
Chinese migrant MP Yuan Yang has voted in favour of proposals that would restrict the right to trial by jury in parts of the justice system.
Trial by jury is one of the oldest protections in English law, defended and upheld for centuries.
Many people will look at this and ask why a recently arrived politician is voting to weaken a cornerstone of British justice.

@TickTockMaths I use PowerPoint as a whiteboard and write on it- like smart notebook used to be when it didn’t have a subscription fee.

What most annoys you about teaching with PowerPoint? Are there any interactive elements you’d like to use on a slide but can’t?
