You have to be a leading lady but you can’t be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you can’t be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you can’t be nominated for best original song.

Do you know what I’m fed up of? Being so exhausted on Saturdays that I’m too tired to do anything but sleep. Then having to rush around all Sunday getting housework and schoolwork done. Leaves me feeling like I’ve done nothing for me and stressed for Monday. 😩
- Unhappiest kids in Europe
- Fewer children than ever reading for pleasure
- School buildings crumbling
- less than half the target of teacher trainees
- Biggest retention crisis
- Morale in the profession the lowest ever
- Ofsted…
The list goes on.
They’re delusional
A Nurse can buy a single sandwich for £3 in the hospital cafeteria and she has to pay.
An MP can get British Beef and potato paprika goulash for £3.19 and then make you pay.
They also get free parking and Nurses pay £1300.
I know who deserves a pay rise.
The elephant in the room is that the primary curriculum is utterly overcrowded. It’s so exhausting trying to do anything well or in any kind of depth. This has got to be contributing to teacher burnout. It needs sorting but nobody in any position of influence is talking about it.

Moving to a new school in January was pretty daunting but it really was the best decision I've ever made. Received this note this week from a girl in my class which just confirmed how I feel 💖 I still adore my job.
Teaching an input all about the British Empire to year 4. Children really engaged and having quality discussions. I'm in my flow. Child puts their hand up. I thought he was going to add to the amazing discussions

@intextchris Absolutely! I look forward to it and I'm sure I can find a way to get you in to my school. We love to have lots of visits into and out of school!
I've just moved into a year 4 class from early years and would love to follow some people with some excellent teaching skills in KS2. Does anyone have any recommendations for people to follow, videos to watch, things to read? Please recommend yourselves too!
