@adamboxer1 Are these the things that maketh a teacher?

[Hamish Livingstone @HamiLivingstone]

@Strickomaster What is your teaching experience like? Primary/secondary/EYFS/ SEN/SEMH? I wonder if teachers with more/less experience in different areas would find this more/less of a dichotomy?

@RogersHistory Dear DfE
Will we be given the cash?

No, cheque mate.

@robertkaplinsky Takeaways:
1. beware self-appointed experts? Maybe even more relevant in an age of the edu-blog-celeb.
2. It’s difficult, in a profession powered by ideals, to abandon things which we have come to “believe” in.
3. It’s a real shame if this feeds into the con v prog polarisation

[Hamish Livingstone @HamiLivingstone]

@robertkaplinsky It’s a really well produced series. There aren’t really many voices on the other side of the fence, so it’s hard to know what (if any) legitimate counter arguments there are without wider reading.

I’ve been told there’s a chance that my book Critical (about how politicians are betraying the NHS and how we can fight for it) has a chance of getting onto the bestseller list😮💙

*Imagine* a book about NHS privatisation on the bestseller list! Many media outlets barely..

@ChrisReevo Abuse unacceptable yes, but conflating the abuse he has faced with the abuse faced by women and people of colour felt uncomfortable

“Monarchy helps make vast disparities of wealth seem normal and natural, an enchanting part of our jolly heritage to be questioned only by mean-spirited and unpatriotic scoundrels.”

@Headteacherchat Burning some sort of effigy?

@MorgsEd I wouldn’t say “bad” , but most of the time there’s a better way, especially in EYFS

@petergates3 Thankyou!

[Hamish Livingstone @HamiLivingstone]

@petergates3 What issues are there with RCTs?

[Hamish Livingstone @HamiLivingstone]

@PeterTatchell I see this article is a few years old. Had you spoken to any actual schools about their sex and relationships curriculums?

@SkyFootball was there a racist yell picked up from the crowd while Max Aarons was clutching his shin? #ncfc @TalkNorwichCity @NorwichCityFC

@adamboxer1 Also, anyone in any union(s) or none cannot be compelled to cross a picket line. I think.

[Hamish Livingstone @HamiLivingstone]

@rjpritchard @NASUWT @NEUnion Doesn’t anyone from any union or none have the right not to cross a picket line?
