Did any of the fake pollsters of FF, FG, SF, or Greens do a survey on the scale of inequality, poverty, indebtedness?

[Jonathan O'Brien @JOBrien_71]

So @SimonHarrisTD makes a mistake on air talking about #COVID19 and he’s ridiculed for it. Criticise him all you want if you believe he’s done a poor job in regard to his handling of this pandemic (which I personally don’t think he has despite some mistakes) 1/2

Ballots for the @TUIunion Vice-Presidential election must be posted by tomorrow (4th March) to ensure arrival in Dublin by the 6th of March closing date. Colleagues. I would appreciate your votes, retweets & mentions. If you haven't voted yet it's #TimeForChange #VoteMaura #TUI

[Mike Lyons @M_J_Lyons]

We should teach spreadsheet, word-processing, database, coding & networking at 2nd level. Allow teachers to use interactive whiteboards & web resources but we should not prematurely supplant reading & writing on paper in education with digital devices. https://t.co/Y9zk32TkYN

[Mike Lyons @M_J_Lyons]

By the way. Did I mention that one of the best teaching & learning advocates I know is looking to lead @TUIunion? Maura believes in meaningful teacher unity & has an unimpeachable integrity that I believe will serve every member of the teaching profession. All retweets welcome.🙂

Dear @TUIunion member colleagues. #VoteMaura for TUI Vice-President if you want to see a change in leadership style & substance. Please urge colleague TUI members to cast their ballots & return them by the 4th of March at the latest. It's time for change & not more of the same.

[Maura Carroll @MorsCarroll]

The ballots should have arrived at all schools, colleges & centres where @TUIunion members work by now. I would be most grateful if you could #VoteMaura Carroll in the TUI Vice-President election. Ballots must be returned by Wednesday the 4th of March to reach Dublin by the 6th.

Resource Worker @TUIunion members feel aggrieved by their T&C's when compared to teacher colleagues who do the same work in the same way. Many RWs are qualified teachers & have a teaching role. A pathway to recognition of the teaching element of RW work must be found. #VoteMaura

SLAR meeting:
'So, what do we think of these examples?'
'Hmm. My opinion is the same as last year. This is excellent, this is good, this is grand.'
'We all agree? Same as last year?'
'Yep.'
'Yeah.'
'Why, yes, of course.'
'Thanks all. Meeting over.'

[LangTeachersIreland @LangTeachersIre]

@dhubhda CBAS and SLARS are a complete waste of time. See that now after correcting mocks. Rushing to cover material for mocks, facing more CBAS following mocks in the case of Irish. Irish has been destroyed. Way too difficult now. We need to get back to real teaching and cut the crap.

[Maura Carroll @MorsCarroll]

@TUIunion members spend too much time on paperwork & not enough time doing the job they were trained & employed to do. Excessive & pointless administration is a distraction in teaching & learning. I am seeking the curtailment of creeping managerialism & bureaucracy in education.

[Maura Carroll @MorsCarroll]

The pupil teacher ratio is of vital importance to a quality education system. The lower the PTR the more curricular options & resources available to schools. Lowering the PTR means more teachers, a greater range of subject choices & more time for teaching & learning. #VoteMaura

[Maura Carroll @MorsCarroll]

Adult Tutors and Researchers are the worst treated cohort of @TUIunion members. They are hourly paid, endure precarious working conditions without an incremental salary or consistent holiday pay. I will intensify the fight for our most vulnerable members. #VoteMaura for TUI VP

[Maura Carroll @MorsCarroll]

The principle of maintaining the link between pension and the salary of the serving grade must be a non-negotiable demand for the ICTU in any successor to the PSSA. #VoteMaura for Vice-President of @TUIunion

@peter_lydon Do it Peter!🙂

@GMCManning Hi Graham, I do. I don't believe the New Brunswick model of fully inclusive special education needs serves students, teaching or learning. Fully inclusive education has been a failure in other jurisdictions. You might be interested in this.

Well done Maura. Very important to know that our subs and money is spent correctly and accounted for in an open and transparent manner. Using it to fund a campaign for a position in the @TUIunion is not correct use of our subs #VoteMaura
