@The_JamesJordan It was awful. As were costumes. Costumes this season are generally garish, unfortunately.

@thatsnotmine125 @Miss_Snuffy No. Not at all. Not difficult to communicate in person. I was there. Speaking from experience.

@thatsnotmine125 @Miss_Snuffy How did I manage as a child in the seventies? We didn't even have a landline!

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@AnneLindsay7 @Miss_Snuffy If she wasn't successful, passionate, speaking from experience... How many schools have you turned around; how much difference have you made in your field? I have never heard of you? I have taught for over three decades. Would love to have taught in her school.

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@BadSchoolparent @RogersHistory No, not really. We are far too busy to have the time or inclination to 'target' certain students. Try teaching - you would then be posting from an informed viewpoint.

@Day_V_Lee @F1FanAndGamer @BBCNews Having a laugh? Would it have been 'a laugh' if they had done it to people? Seriously? This is what is wrong with our society...

@legkick1 @FakeHeadteacher @Nicola123452 Doctors? Nurses? Lawyers? Unpaid overtime? It is just an expectation that we will spend 4+ hours a night marking and planning. Weekends. It has been that expectation since I started 37 years ago. Very little thanks except a few exceptional parents who recognise the effort.

@FakeHeadteacher I have taught English for almost 37 years. Here is my weekday: get up 5.45am. In school for 7am. Return home at 5pm. I am local so can walk (no wastage of time travelling). Start working at home at 6pm and usually finish 10.30pm-11pm. I also work Sundays. Fact.

@JessBoon82 You need to go back to school.

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@LUFCVirginia @deancain Not hateful at all; nor disapproving, merely speaking the truth. Your interpretation is hate-filled.

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@kimwild02 @BaronessBruck Why reply to a positive post a hate-filled response? Why read posts from this account and respond to them?

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@Ronjo20763161 @hrrysgreysuit Why reply with a hostile response to a pleasant post? Why follow this account?

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@RalphMcGinnis @Miss_Snuffy No. Discipline is the key: mutual respect. Without it, creativity is chaos. I know. I have taught for 35 years.

Let’s be honest - it’s not a great statue of Diana.

@MR_EnglishT Dear Mr. R. Thank you very much for this. Is there an alternative way to download as it seems to state 'thread not available'? Thank you.

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@MrThorntonTeach @TMHistoryIcons Could you possibly recommend a visualiser, please, as I have bought and attempted to use one but it wasn't easy to use. Would be very grateful. Someone has recommended IPEVO but it seems expensive and I have to buy it myself. Thankyou.

@fod3 @KerryPulleyn Could you please add: [email protected]
Thank you.

@MrsSpalding @Team_English1 Great resource - thank you!

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@LeadingLearner Enjoyed your presentation at Huntington on Saturday - are we able to obtain the presentation to consider the ideas?

[Debra Jane Awty @Debra_JaneA]

@ffioneaton Really enjoyed your presentation on reducing teacher workload/smarter marking - is it possible to obtain a copy? @Debra_JaneA
