Just a reminder that the same government who've just given everyone £10 off every meal they eat this summer also fought long and hard not to give our poorest children £15 to feed themselves FOR A WEEK.

And I think this problem is more common than people think. Zero routine, lack of purpose, months worth of exhaustion all swishing around in your brain, keep an eye on your teacher friends!!

Having a democratic classroom is marvellous until the little cherubs organise a secret vote during breaktime to completley outvote your decision to do the maths assessment when they come back in.

We are with these kids all day long, we can already spot when something is wrong. Identitication is not the problem. We need funding for school based psychologists, counsellers and interventions.
OFFICIAL: All new teachers to be trained to spot signs of mental health issues👩‍🏫👨‍🏫💙 ➡️ This will be backed up by updated statutory guidance to make clear schools' responsibilities to protect children’s mental wellbeing. We're putting prevention top of the #MentalHealth agenda.

I think this letter, that came home with an upset 9 year old girl today. Shows that as a country/society, we have not progressed one cm in 30 years. #quarterpenny lives and breathes design & technology and can't understand why she has to do cooking and drama

No. No they don't. Hence the reason we have to have welfare departments, safeguarding procedures and social services...

"Parents know best for their children." When asked about protests over LGBT classes, Tory leadership candidate Esther McVey told #Sunrise parents should have "final say on what they want their children to know". Teachers are in tears as the row worsens: po.st/7vsnwi

Today I asked my class to get into groups and act out a Greek myth. 15 mins later I found one kid lying down behind my desk. He told me he was the river. I asked him to perform. (1/2)

He had not got into a group. He layed down and retold the entirety of Persephone and the pomegranate seeds on his back wiggling. He stood up and took a bow. Someone give my kid a fringe show NOW. (2/2)
