I teach maths. It's fun, but some people do like to make it harder than it needs to be...

[Tes magazine @tes]

"three-quarters (74 per cent) of teachers and seven in ten leaders (70 per cent) said they did not have an acceptable workload."

@dazzo2020 @tes @bphillipsonMP They need to put more money into schools, but not just teacher pay; support staff need much better pay, many close to mine wage. And more support staff, to provide the safety and support that governments have merely aspired to, never actually worked towards....

JUST BEEN LEAKED NOTE BY HEAD OF TORY CAMPAIGN (the one standing in for the one on leave of absence courtesy of William Hill) MEMO ALL CANDIDATES … THE REALITY. 1. We cannot campaign on our record because nothing has improved since we took office. 2. The biggest change we made last Parliament was Brexit and we can’t campaign on that because the people who hated it hate it more and the people who liked it know we have ballsed it up. 3. We can’t campaign on our leaders because we have had five in eight years which suggests none of them were very good. 4. We can’t campaign on Labour being a risk to security and the economy because nobody can do worse than we have and anyway people seem to think @Keir_Starmer is pretty decent and he is for sure not Corbyn. 5. So LADS, all we have left is this … behave like we have lost, it’s all over bar the shouting, towel thrown in, and hope to God millions of people don’t bother to vote us out because they think somebody else will do it. I know it’s desperate and a bit anti-democratic but needs must. We’re shit and we know we are and so this is it!!! Fuck everything up. Crash the car. Make ourselves look even more unelectable and useless at campaigns. Willie Whitelaw used to talk about travelling the country stirring up apathy. That is all we have left. Do it. Talk up supermajority. I know it is meaningless but it is the only way to stop the superdefeat we all know we deserve. Cheers. Btw we’re having Sunday drinks 1pm. BYOB 🍾 🥂 ps new slogan. STAY AT HOME. DON’T VOTE. KEEP THE TORIES haha!!

🚨 NEW: Former Deputy PM Michael Heseltine has claimed ignoring the consequences of Brexit is resulting in "the most dishonest [election campaign] in modern times"

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

New report from @TheNFER shows Government is set to massively miss its target to recruit secondary teachers AGAIN - recruiting only 60% of those needed.

It's time to tell the Government there's a full-blown education CRISIS that needs sorting NOW!

🗳️Vote NOW for a fully funded significantly above-inflation pay rise to address this. #InvestInEducation #PayUp24

[TysonMaths @MathsTyson]

@SHANEOMahony18 Their anti-science stances...

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

This graph tells the story of how teacher pay has fallen against inflation since 2010.

A decent pay rise would go some way to fixing this crisis.

Government looks set to back a paltry 1-2% pay rise for this year. The NEU will launch a preliminary ballot on 2 March. #PayUp24

[TysonMaths @MathsTyson]

@NEUnion So why tap out last year? We were told to accept a below inflation deal that turned out not to be fully funded. The NEC recommended it. Why?

[TysonMaths @MathsTyson]

@NEUnion Why did the NEC recommend taking the deal, a deal the government has already reneged on, losing our momentum? As a rep it will be hard to get members energised again...

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

Teacher recruitment stats are out, and it's bleak

⬇️ Just half of required secondary teachers recruited

🥎 Targets only met in PE, classics and history

🧮 Just 17% of target met in physics, recruitment worse in maths, English and chemistry

@Scottyboy75 You have too much free time if you're scrolling back to my tweets from February. Have you considered finding a hobby?

@AngelaRayner I am no Tory, but labour did nothing to stop it either. It has been heading in this direction since Thatcher sold off the social housing. You really cannot blame them for a crisis three decades in the making...

@TomSyvret @Peston Nobody was ever 'frightened' of Boris, we could just see he was a sleazy PoS. Apparently most people can see that now too. What is to be scared of?

🚨 | NEW: Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said most private schools in the UK cost the same as “a family holiday abroad”

Average private school: £14,940 per year

Average family holiday abroad: £4,800 per year

[TysonMaths @MathsTyson]

When some poor kid ends up abused or dead, it will be on your shoulders @KemiBadenoch schools should be safeguarding students, even from their parents if required, and this makes students LESS safe.

Prediction.
In ten years time almost all school uniforms will be something like polo shirts and sweatshirts with school logo, black trousers and dark shoes or trainers.
We'll mostly think it's good thing and we'll find it hard to believe how things were.

@ParadoxU2 @tes @TheNFER Mate, you shared a GCSE maths problem 3x without giving a solution, how you gonna solve modern economics?!
