@carrotcottagerr Hello! 🥕

@JB6018 @MrBoothY6 @TheBoyWonerd It’s the best book. I’ve taught it many times and it even engaged my own reluctant reader 10 year old son. I can’t praise it highly enough.

@RyonWLeyshon @jon_the_ropes Holes is amazing. The narrative structure is wonderful - my reluctant reader son (y5) is reading it to me; it’s the only book he’s asked to continue reading (except from some wimpy kid ones).

@NiallHarbison My very own Maximus sends healing drool 🐾

@Saren_Gas @yonosayway @Talk_2_Em_Chris Yes! This. My ex husband (notice the ex) laughed at me sobbing while I tried to tell him about it. He’d find it funny to just mention Hachi and watch me bawl!

@yonosayway @Talk_2_Em_Chris I can’t even retell what happens in this film without sobbing. Like, snot inducing sobbing 😭

@bluebell_wood24 @babybeginner Are there any unions who don’t feel this way? I took a quick look earlier and it seems NASUWT take a similar stance. Don’t want to leave myself entirely without representation.

@MaryOToole10 @MrsNickyClark It’s not schooling, it’s parenting. Schools used to be able to reinforce the standards set at home. Unfortunately we often now have to battle the entitlement fostered at home. It’s hugely depressing and has got noticeably worse in the 20 years I’ve been teaching.

@UpTambourine Told my daughter the same when she was nearly 4. Didn’t plan on her going into nursery and telling them all - along with some swooping squatting actions apparently. Haha! She’s 13 now and I still remind her of the conversation her nan had to have on pick up 😆

@ruskin147 My doggo does this. Think it’s the canine version of a guilt trip!

@samanthafoxy My basshole ate half of this by leaping like a short legged gazelle and dragging it off the counter. Still love and own him. Even after the three days of red vom

Don’t post a lot but like to follow educators (especially English) as well as dog people. Moving over to Bluesky for the same reasons most people are binning off this toxic platform. @[email protected]

@RetirementTales @simiisme I think there’s a lot to be learnt about being human - and that seems to be missing in society at the moment.

[SecondaryMiss 🦡 @AnnaR1977]

@RetirementTales @simiisme Not massively religious personally, but grew up with these songs and school prayer. I do wonder whether that made a difference to our understanding of the world and to our tolerance. Feeling sad and a bit desperate about the events of the past few days
