So I did a thing over the summer holiday! I wrote and resourced an entire SoW for AQA Physics. Please feel free to use any lessons you might need to want: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

And they wonder why finding good headteachers for disadvantaged schools is so difficult. It is so hard day in, day out and we are basically told we aren’t doing well enough and have low expectations 🤯 tone deaf does not come close 😢

Tell me again Ofsted that this framework isn’t biased against schools in disadvantaged areas

What’s best for the classroom? Removing the student who constantly disrupts learning OR Expecting the teacher to spend most of their time managing that one student while everyone else waits?

The implicit assumption that teachers are all neurotypical and that’s why they don’t understand neurodivergence is WILD. Have you met science teachers. Have you ever met them.

I hope the next major viral trend is empathy and critical thinking skills because this world is a hellscape lately.

@itv NONE of these is the correct answer! Respiration is an enzyme controlled chemical reaction occurring in the mitochondria! Inhalation, exhalation, inspiration or expiration would have been more suitable options!

HE KILLED A BUNCH OF LITTLE GIRLS TO DISTRACT THAT HE RAPED AND TORTURED OTHER LITTLE GIRLS. That's the "man" you're defending.

Building a relationship is not a substitute for a robust behaviour policy. Yes, relationships are important and a fun part of the job! But don’t gaslight teachers into believing ‘they have to like you first.’ They don’t. When they respect you, they will like you.

This is the way.

Jane Austen pioneered literary realism, was a predecessor of the modern romcom, spawned more adaptations and retellings than Shakespeare himself, and is still widely read today because her novels were so startlingly modern in the interiority of her characters. This has to be bait

the way this is actually so easy to understand😭

It’s a very good thing when men get diseases that mostly women get…suddenly people contemplate the possibility that it’s not fake.

the entire maga timeline is just THIS btw

In 2010, a starting teacher earned 87% more than the minimum wage (£21,600 vs £11,600). Now, it’s 38% more (£32,900 vs £23,000). Do we need to restore teacher pay to recruit the strongest teachers?

I can’t help but think that people are incorrectly directing frustration at schools for not teaching the things that their parents actually should’ve been teaching them

A teenage girl beat the reigning champion, a boy, in the regional chess tournament. He knocked the board over and stormed out. The organizers gave her the trophy in a back room. The local paper's headline read, "King Dethroned by Dark Horse." Her photo was not included. The boy was interviewed about "handling pressure." She quit competitive chess. But please, tell me about sportsmanship.. This is the ugly double standard: Boys get sympathy for losing, girls get erased for winning

Every woman I know in her 40s or 50s is cooler, hotter, wiser, and more badass than she was in her 20s and 30s. The anti-aging industry is lying to you. Don’t let them exploit your insecurities to sell you shit you don’t need for problems you don’t have.

Those golden relationships in the classroom people keep talking about; There is no point in being liked if you aren't respected. There is no point in having some banter if there are no boundaries. There is no point in everyone feeling good if no learning can take place because behaviour is out of control. Often being 'nice' is being firm, fair, consistent. There may be some conflict, this is part of healthy relationships.

Go to a challenging school where rules & sanctions are either not applied or inconsistently so. Then compare this to where they are. The difference is stark & inconvenient to the narrative some peddle about how sanctions don’t work & rules are oppressive.

The risk of AI for education is not students cheating in exams, it is people in general cheating themselves into believing they understand things they don’t.
