#classicstwitter We're choosing between Suburani and CLC 5th ed to use with Year 8 and 9 next year (Year 7 do Stages 1-2 of CLC 5th ed, and we switch to Latin to GCSE in Year 10). Would be really interested to hear people's experiences with either book! Pros? Cons?

Our first question is for teachers (broadly defined). Have you ever made an adjustment for a #Neurodivergent student? If yes, what was the nature of this adjustment & how well did it work? Please share widely & reply with the # tag #NeurodivergentExperiences.

I've listened to Pompeii by Bastille hundreds of times. But today was the 1st time I watched the music video with subtitles on.
And they're not singing 'eh eh oh', they're singing 'eheu' which is Latin for 'oh no' because it's about Pompeii so there's Latin IN THE SONG OHMYDAYS

Can you help?
We’re looking to make contact with Classics people who went on to jobs and careers outside academia, and employers who have hired people with a Classics background. If that’s you, or someone you know, please say hi.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

#classicstwitter I need your ideas. Last week we lost our dear friend and colleague, Ms Bateson. She dedicated over 30 years to teaching Classics in state schools and I feel this needs to be celebrated. I’m thinking a prize in her name or similar. @classicsforall could you help?

Devastated by this very sad news. Ms Bateson was one of the best and most enthusiastic classics teachers around. So glad she got her nostos in Norfolk, but so sad it had to be so brief. Sleep well my good friend.

1. When students are struggling with the concept of mythic cycles in tragedy and want to know which version of a myth is the ‘real’ one, I often use the existence of 3 different Spider-Man franchises to explain.

2. Same characters, same basic plot, each offering new takes and twists. Each exists as a ‘real’ version of the story and brings something new to the tale, whilst still being recognisable at its core. With that in mind, #SpiderManNoWayHome has just blown my tiny little mind.
