@SciInTheMaking @BBCPanorama Reading with a ruler is detrimental to the skills of anticipation reading and scanning ahead. All of which make for a fluent and curious reader. That's control stifling independent reading skills.

@MichaelRosenYes @Paul92265247 Michael, where is this Covid denial & attack on clinical staff coming from in 2026? What's their game? Because it is a game, a plot, a con, on behalf of some player or other. USA is trying to take out Fauci on this and it seems to have crossed the pond.

@Paul92265247 @MichaelRosenYes My friend's dad died OF Covid in the early stages..way before the vaccine! They weren't all allowed to attend the funeral because of lockdown. It was f-ing awful. Take a moment,my friend, to work out why you are so determined to disprove it.

@kelvmackenzie Awful. Truly awful: M@cKen2ie turning up on my feed. You're a welcome here as you would be in a Liverpool newsagents. 🤢

@max_redington That ll be 'Maths', unless you're a US bot stirring it all up.

@afneil Fully enjoying your displeasure with Labour and Andy Burnham.😜

@withnailjones Interesting to see newer Place in The Sun episodes when Jasmine or Ben have to remind the punters that they won't be staying out for the 6 months they wanted, just the 90 days. Feel sorry for the families on there who never wanted Brexit...not so much if they voted for it!

@MatthewStadlen @RobertJenrick Reform supporters in the comments giving Stockholm Syndrome vibes. They just can't let go of the con!

@NatalieFleetMP @andyburnham Accrington born and, depending on the size of that bread roll it's either an oven bottom muffin or a bap!

@MarkKelly_UK @Parody_PM This is why so many commentators are laying into Andy Burnham. They have absolutely no idea what average members of the public have to deal with in their lives... and, to be frank...I don't think they want to know: ''And what is The Q@Greggs anyway?' IYKYK.🤣

@NigelLaw526509 @rochdalescouser @Mr_Raichura When the 240 marks are composed, is any decision made on grade boundaries, according to required marks out of 240, prior to the exams being taken? If so, I'd want to see and compare that with the actual grade boundaries set after seeing children s scores.

@MjssrE Explain how 2 thirds of the total vote would need a recount?

@supertanskiii "But barbecues....but discarded bottles.... ". Yep, you can trigger the fires, but it only gobbles up the land if the actual water table is GONE after weeks and weeks of drought like weather. Even if it jumps into their front garden, it won't be climate change!🙄

[AliBick @AlisonWright14]

@AllisonPearson Allison, your words are either faux‐anger for clicks or your authentic opinion. Whichever it is, you degrade the name of journalism. Ffs, people across Europe are dying and losing homes because of continued high temps and drought.

@BPRAO20 @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics @michaelgove Tosh! Thos e choosing academic routes will continue to do so. The difference will be that children more disposed to practical subjects will be encouraged to stay in the education system with a route to good employment....rather than leaving school early and being left as NEET.

[AliBick @AlisonWright14]

@thatrsteacher @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics Yep, agreed. 27 years and counting and, though experience in the classroom doesn't seem to be valued by some on this platform, we have watched the cycle circle and the pendulum swing.

@hebe_jane @BarbaraBleiman @MrDavidScales @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics Trying to discourage the rush through the schemes is a yearly issue. Some of the best higher order comprehension comes from the children for whom phonics is a challenge.

[AliBick @AlisonWright14]

@BarbaraBleiman @AlisonW78759658 When ruler use isn't limited to tracking the teacher, and is expected in children's own reading (regardless of ability), what happens to rhythm, scanning ahead for meaning & anticipation? When one tries to explain this to 'track and comply' advocates, they don't have a clue.
