Rarely on Twitter nowadays.

It's heartbreaking to see Twitter become so toxic.

Twitter was instrumental for Learning Ladders reaching schools globally.

But we stopped using it for ads very shortly after the Musk takeover, and hardly use it at all nowadays.

@TrooliFibre Still no internet - avoid this company like the plague.

Just called customer services and had the least helpful person I've ever had the misfortune to speak to.

@TrooliFibre Still no Internet in SO41 either, been 30 hours and no comms, nothing. No 5 star review from me either 🤬

@9th_M0nth @implausibleblog Baffles me and I live there

@Headteacherchat There were certainly raised eyebrows and a few questions when I taught Reception (less for primary), but generally I found most said it was a good thing.

To my face anyway 🤣

@rebelEducator Currently, that their (local state) school doesn't go bankrupt.

[Matt Koster-Marcon @MatthewKoster]

@itvfootball No

One for my local candidates:

How, what and when will you provide the funding needed for our local schools?

Our annual £ per pupil is amongst the lowest in the country, AND it's been cut in real terms.

Your vote counts. Your voice matters. Don’t miss your chance.

The deadline to register to vote is 11.59pm on 18 June. Only 5 days left.

@naomicfisher Yet these are the characteristics we then desperately want/need/seek/train later in life.

Encourage them, nurture their gifts, teach them to be smart and to find the right moments.

We surely support them best by teaching them how to use their gifts.

@GillianKeegan @Conservatives What's your response to the IFS who say your proposals are a £3.5 billion cut to the total schools budget?

“A reduction in the overall schools budget on this scale has not been delivered since the mid-1970s"

On top of the huge reductions in capital spending since 2010?

[Matt Koster-Marcon @MatthewKoster]

I'm dipping back into twitter for the election and cannot quite get my head around how blatantly *some* people state utter lies as fact.

Not the existential threat of climate change. Not fixing the NHS. Not tackling poverty and inequality. But the creation of wealth he won't even tax fairly? Sad to see this from a Labour leader. Real hope real change anyone? #VoteGreen

[Matt Koster-Marcon @MatthewKoster]

@naomicfisher But you'll know all this much better than me I expect, so I'm just ranting on twitter.

What's needed is a proper conversation about impact, and strong evidence of intended efficacy before using any tool.

[Matt Koster-Marcon @MatthewKoster]

@naomicfisher As a parent I don't find them at all helpful. They can never explain why they got them, even when positive.
