@teacherhead Wonderful response Tom. The man needs putting in his place - thank you for defending our profession. 👊

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

@LouisEverett1 @BearWithOneEar Yes everything has to be done ‘well’ and the ‘why’ always needs careful consideration. ‘Something works everywhere’ as they say. The hope that Twitter continues to make better practitioners of us all remains. Thanks for the discussion! 🙌

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

@LouisEverett1 @BearWithOneEar Agreed.ButTwitter can feel like echo chamber sometimes. According to the beliefs of many (not you specifically) there is only one - very scientific route - way to teach. The best lessons are taught with expertise - yes - but also with passion and enthusiasm. Teaching is an art.

@MrJCNewton I’ve been given the honour too. Any tips from the community? I planned to visit lots of schools but... maybe not now.

Ah yes of course, back to the days of Henry VIII. Maybe Scotland will resurrect the Auld Alliance subsequently...😫

If there’s ever a time for Labour to get their shit together it’s now. This is like Boris with all the infinity stones!

Can’t believe how I’m going to look. It really has been a long old year for our Department!

[Summerhill RS @SH_RSDepartment]

Not sure you can tell from the photos, but we’ve worked hard this academic year!

It’s been a fantastic year and the Humanities staff are out to celebrate.

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

This is why we have had to bin ‘activities week’ next year. Schools struggle when they pretend to be something they aren’t!

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

Annual outing for this. Should you have a fun lesson? https://t.co/kHQ1Olfq10

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

This is a few days late but I’d like to thank the @UCL_Holocaust team for some enlightening and thought-provoking discussions last Friday. A must for all History teachers I’d say! 🙌

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

@WilkesHistory @MissShaw1991 In the age of the (bad!) reboot, proof you CAN sometimes reinvent a classic!

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

Schools quite rightly do not let children have holidays in term time when it is cheaper to go. It's an insult to them if we just play games with children in last week.
Finishing strong is fairer and more respectful.

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

It’s activities week so I’m getting students on Ancestry to dig up their family tree. This could either go really well or really badly! 🤞

[Liam Hall @HallHistoryGuy]

Year 6 are in today. Is there a better way to inspire a love of History than taking them outside for some drill and combat training? Nah didn’t think so. #lovehistory

Every time India play England at cricket the Historian in me concedes India probably deserve the victory 🧐#INDvENG

Moved into my new house last week. This arrived today and it really “ties the room together” (get the reference?!)

Tory leadership debate: Five candidates, five things that stood out

Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid and Rory Stewart had a lot to say about Brexit – and a bit about sheep farming

Perhaps one of the better things Edexcel introduced in 2016 - harrowing but Y10 seem fascinated. #westernfront
