@KerryBurgess @Bottoms_bray I hope you are right but I fear not enough. Unfortunately there are plenty of poorly educated and politically uniformed people in all age brackets that's why Reform have made such gains. Especially in my locality sadly and many of the voters for them were the under 30s.

@MrBoothY6 Ludicrous

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@ICT_MrP It's a shame isn't it. At least one of my grown up kids would make a wonderful teacher yet I wouldn't wish the stress and inflexibility of it on them. I wouldn't discourage them if it was what they wanted. It is still a wonderful enriching profession if you have the resilience.

@DarrellWakelam Your drawing has a wonderful textural sculpture quality to it. In the way that you could see the inner sculptor of Henry Moore via his sketchbooks.

@sciencegirl Invent hair straighteners 😬

What I have been doing since returning from teaching. Making my own work! At last, time to do what I do! Hope you like them! Please share if you do.

@Mr_B_Morgan There is!

@Headteacherchat burn it!

@JoroRestaurant @MichelinGuideUK Well deserved and great to have such a terrific place in South Yorkshire!

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@MichaelRosenYes Yes!!!!!!

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@ICT_MrP Lack of autonomy.
Lack of diversity in teaching methods.
Far too many 'executives'
Pointless audit evidence taking time away from T&L

@seventiesuk And as an art teacher I used to reuse the wrapper for collaging. Can't do that with the new ones!

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

I've been busy creating new drawings recently. I'm really enjoying the challenge of trying to capture the atmosphere of each space. Hope you like them!

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@MaplePonds @MarkDavies115 @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire No it is NOT fine if you are studying Art History. Art History requires significant teeearch, reading, visiting museums, galleries, etc on top of lectures. Please do not imply that Arts degrees are 'easy'.

@teacherhead sorry for your loss Tom x

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@Yodel_Delivery_ you truly ate the worst delivery service. Once again, you have delivered my parcels to an unknown incorrect address. Once again your customer service ignores the fact that it is your error! Awful.

@chefsevenn Hendo's of course @HendersonsRel

@gunsnrosesgirl3 A 30s house pretending to be a tudor house painted white. What's real?

[Deb Hepplestone @DebHepps]

@LeeBraganza They are much more sensitive to death and loss than we give them credit for. Ours would go out searching for his brother and find old scent trails. X

@getloggedin Hi, No I'm not. I've been asked that before though as Hepplestone isn't the most common name 🙂

Inspiration for a future painting? I think maybe. The moor today. A definite twist to autumn.
