@amymayforrester Dominoes. Too many take aways this week, new kitchen being fitted. Not good timing in the final week of the longest half term!

@thosethatcan Two schools I have worked in have all phones handed in to a central store in the morning as pupils arrive then handed back at the end of the day.

@RishiSunak Nearly two billion pounds to spend on building missiles in a different county, bolstering their economy. No money to pay teachers, doctors or nurses a fair wage. No money to support youth mental health services, NHS or education. How can you be proud of this?

@Louiestowell Folkestone. Hour long journey, sand and shingle beaches and plenty of places to eat along the harbour arm. If the sun is shining it is very close to heaven.

@MathsImpact Folders and paper. Saves on buying books and the pointless and wasteful sticking pages into books.

@RetirementTales Sausage and Mash please, with a Shipyards ale and Keisha's Rainbow 🌈 on the jukebox.

@Positivteacha Margate. Got the typical arcades and burger bars on the seafront and some great independent shops behind. Also has Dreamland funfair, complete with roller disco!

@KateBurkeNHS I could have written this, plus the joy of thinning hair.

@senresourceblog Schools review EHCPs every year. I have worked in special schools for 8 years and none of the EHCPs that I have suggested amendments for has ever been updated by the LA. Schools end up reviewing EHCPs for pupils that are 15 that were written when they were 6.

@MrBoothY6 I did but after a year I ripped it out and put a bath with shower over. I wanted the choice.

@misswallsworth1 @MrTs_NQTs It took me until the January after I qualified. I had moved to the South West and jobs were hard to come by. I finally secured a post but had to move to Leicestershire to do so.

@PaulGarvey4 I took mine down on the 28th. Rejoiced in all the room for activities!

@englishspecial Dolly enjoying a relax

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@RetirementTale5 @RogersHistory Stop it. I can still feel the shiny slippery badness that was Izal loo roll in my unheated primary school toilets!

@RussInCheshire This little lady is too scared to go out. How long can a tiny dog hold a wee for??

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@Headteacherchat Yes all the time. No reason for it; I have 15 years experience and do know what I'm talking about (most of the time!) Yet I still have the feeling of being rumbled and told I'm not actually doing the job right!

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@RussInCheshire #TheWeekInTory is my twitter highlight. @RussInCheshire I do feel sorry for you this week but also cannot wait!

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@gfreeman2012 I would appreciate some help and guidance! Starting my SENDCo qualification in February and working in a special school.

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@UnofficialOA I am debating buying 3 pairs of black trousers and 5 tops and being done with the daily 'What shall I wear?' decision making! I would happily wear a school polo shirt with trousers to take away even more thinking!

[Happy_teacher @Happyte53613818]

@DrBradJohnson I honestly think it depends on the headteacher. I used to think this but now work in a school where the head actively encourages staff to find PD courses for themselves. A head that is forward thinking will want staff to develop for the benefit of the school.
