@Mr_S_Cains I could probably rustle up 7 glue sticks without lids?

@DeputyGrocott Chili chocolate. Why do I want a hit of tongue numbing heat to counter the sweet chocolatey goodness coating my tongue and mouth?

@EM_RESUS Google and Google scholar helped me realise I had a circadian rhythm sleep disorder (later confirmed by a consultant). My local GP actually had to look up melatonin when I asked if I could try it as a treatment. Dr Google gives patients power to not be fobbed off.

And now I've not much else to say, just I'm crying, not sure whether it's happiness, or loss, but whatever it is, it's a good thing

Today I seen a man I would never have seen again, but got the amazing luck to do so

Mr Jeremy Higginson, the best fucking teacher I ever had ✌🏻

UK schools with book vending machines. Where did you get them from please and what sort of prices? I've got two quotes that seem pretty pricey so far but would love to get one! Thanks!

It's the Easter holidays (for many), so I have two copies of The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading to give away.

Simply **retweet this tweet** for your chance to win a copy.

@adamboxer1 @Gledster Jumping on this late, but is feedback anonymous? If not then it's reasonable to hypothesise that those with negative experiences would not wish to respond (especially given they'll be visited again quite soon), and so the opposite of what you're referring to.

@harney2_h @lifelonglit Thanks! Sorry for delay, Twitter deciding not to notify me I've got replies for some reason.

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@harney2_h @lifelonglit I can't access this link unfortunately. What is it? Do you know if there's another source for it?

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@lifelonglit I think most have already been mentioned, but thought I'd share this blog which seems to cover a lot of the same issues potentially https://t.co/QdMBoy6Hc4

@SamCarter1987 @secretHT1 @ICT_MrP @DeputyGrocott >in two schools where I was part of the SLT we ensured marking burden was considered with time allocated or us helping. Admin staff helped input data etc... It's not for every school and the dialogue around their use is important. Does it really help or not?

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@SamCarter1987 @secretHT1 @ICT_MrP @DeputyGrocott I think they have their place. If used correctly,I think they're useful as part of conversation in pupil progress meetings for pupils where there's lots of disparity between TA and the summative assessments. Is the learning genuinely embedded? Are we assessing performance rather>

What's the barrier to transferring learning in class to remembering enough to succeed in written assessments. Do we need to start thinking access arrangements? It won't be for every school, but it can be helpful>

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@SamCarter1987 Ha! It was decent for the first series or three, but then got pretty daft and this series is just as ridiculous really,but I do like that it hits some emotional punches quite well sometimes (if rather unsubtly).

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

Don't know if I'm in a strange mood but episode 4 of the new Waterloo road hits hard on the emotions! Really good character work. Far too fast-paced and utterly unrealistic on lots of the actual school stuff as ever but some good stuff!

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@solomon_teach @StudyMaths Might have replied to wrong message. Shame yours had to be wound down: was an interesting project!

[Pete G @MrGteaches]

@solomon_teach @StudyMaths Lovely jubbly, gives some options. I already use your site regularly so good to see this added in as well. Brilliant stuff as always!
