@adamboxer1 I did it to fit my working-life around my children’s schedule. Then my first year in the job ended up working 75 hours per week for an academy. Now I have my own business and am still doing the odd day of supply. Struggling to let go.

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

Indeed.

A seemingly popular take on ‘inclusion’ is that which allows someone who assaults or abuses a teacher to continue to be included.

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

Absolutely concur. Horrific and shameful.

@secretHT1 Filing an appeal with Ofsted? Xxx

@RhiannaEliza98 I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s beyond comprehension.

To all of those in #Ukraine who are looking for an emergency exit from the country, #Poland has just opened eight locations at the border accepting Ukrainian refugees offering warm food, medical help and information for all the refugees. #PleaseShare

Everyone should read this thread. Despicable and ‘training’ is not enough. Sack these officers. @metpoliceuk

@rlrossi64 (2/2) the difficult times normally required to gain that knowledge/experience. It’s shapes us, makes us great empathy and is part of the learning that literally helps our brains grow (neurons etc.).

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

@rlrossi64 I always say that the point in all literature is to teach us about the human condition. The thoughts/motivations/actions haven’t really changed since the recorded word and particularly since the emergence of fiction. It’s equipping us with life-lessons without having to go (1/2)

@Kewbelle I know. I’ll maybe do supply one day per week but it’s been horrific. Hope you’re ok and the kids are doing well!

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

Well teaching, it’s been short and bittersweet. Years and years of graft to get there but hopefully it’s not over forever. And a healing process begins… #teacher

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

@Kewbelle I haven’t had a good experience at all up here. So time for a break 😢.

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

@MrBillington_RS Thanks Rob! That means so much to me xx

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

@MissMessagerMFL @MrDochertyLIT Congratulations!

[Mrs__Meldrum @MeldrumMrs]

@Black88Heather @MissHudsonHist Totally agree. I would love to see a more flexible education system again, that doesn’t focus purely on academic results. We need trades and vocational subjects to be taught in schools again. Most of the pupils I teach have such low self-esteem because they only see grades.
