If Teachers can pressure government into the 24 hour testing turn-around and make schools safer, every parent of a school child benefits from it. Going against the teachers on this issue is saying "I don't want safer schools for children"

I canโt understand why all those businesses upset at closing during lockdown are not taking legal action against this: the data clearly shows that schools have much higher infection rates than pubs, restaurants , nail bars,gyms or casinos- schools should be closed before pubs.

Final day of the PGCE done. A year of such highs and such lows and a constant battle to get through. Iโm surprised anyone wants to teach after a PGCE...but Iโm sure after a long, hot summer (please ๐๐ปโ๏ธ) Iโll be ready to get back in the classroom. Let summer commence โ๏ธ๐ด๐คฉ๐๐ป๐๐

Last teaching day excited face!This year, without question, has been the hardest most emotional year! A PGCE is not easy and itโs made me realise teaching full time in the UK is not my endgame! Iโm certainly not ready to โfall into a steady jobโ . The adventure will continue โ๏ธ

Say what you will about Theresa May (and this is not a political comment, although it might sound like one), but blimey she's one tough lady. Someone I would want on my side in a scrap, and we seem to be in one right now?

She is beauty. She is grace. She will punch you in the face. Medieval Mary has had just about enough of your sh*t. Vanessa Corcoran (@VRCinDC) explains more in Part 4 of Gender, Sexism, and the Middle Ages. #GSMA #medievaltwitter

According to legend, Noah sent a Kingfisher as well as a dove to search for dry land after the flood. The kingfisher flew so high that its feathers were stained orange & blue by the sun & the sky. #FolkloreThursday

Pitch doc idea to Tv company. They love it & want it to be a series. At meeting, they say they don't want me to present it but a man. So can I provide (unpaid,uncredited) the access, killer facts, new research for proposal & his scripts? I think we've had enough of this, ladies?
