@bennewmark My school was doing this when I was a student 2010-2015. No phones, even at break and lunch time. If we were caught with them, they were taken from us for a week (including over the weekend). It wasn’t worth the risk so it never came out of my blazer pocket. Worked well.
President of Student's Union in Lancaster, "I have students coming in saying they can't study because they haven't eaten in three days"
Fiona Bruce, "People are telling you they haven't eaten in three days?"
President, "I have hundreds of stories.. We have a food bank on campus.. We have a supper club where we give our free meals to over 100 students every Thursday... The only hot meal they'll have that week"
"Students are the future of the economy.. If we can't eat, we can't study, if we can't afford our rent we can't live here.. The government does not prioritise students and it hasn't in the last decade" #BBCQT @LancasterSU@CerysEvans
I have a student who started U6 working at a D grade, and has slowly after each assessment been getting better and better. Just marked her latest mock exam. So pleased 😆
@Positivteacha excerise books are for practise. don’t really care what they look like as long as the information is inside. they’re for the students - not for us!
@Alexhughes3S We’ve had him just under 3 weeks and he is settling really well. He’s had a bit of a rough start to life so we’re having to train him out of some of the bad habits he’s picked up but he is trying so hard to be a good boy🥲
How rude of me! I haven’t formally introduced the newest member of the Howarth/ Tierney household. Teacher twitter - this is Jax, our rescue cocker spaniel. We are obsessed with him
@DeputyGrocott The best thing I ever did was set a daily routine. Students wait outside until I invite them in. Meet and greet at the door - check lanyards and welcome each student by name. Starter up on the board waiting for them while I do the reg. Made my life x10 easier😅
@LeeBraganza Hairy Maclary from Donaldsons Dairy. Hercules Morse as big as a horse. Schnitzel von Crum with a very low tum. My dad used to read these to us every night!! We had so many🤣
