Word of the day is 'spuddle' (19th century): to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.

My hot take on the Ofsted stuff is that, if you had a well-funded system with lots of extra people, it would help drive school improvement (and *could* reduce stress).

As the system currently stands: I’m concerned it’ll drown people in workload.

Why are we blaming schools for low attendance and not parents?

[Emma Turner FCCT @Emma_Turner75]

A timely reminder.

Do you remember when twitter was lovely?
It was full of people being nice to each other & telling jokes.
On my little space here, I try to be like that.
I'll never change...
Unless I'm in the fancy dress shop!!

It really fucks me off how outraged people are over parents having to pay VAT on private education. Where’s the outrage for parents who struggle to afford school uniforms or even pay school dinners? Just cuz some people are on lower wages doesn’t mean they don’t work just as hard

If you want to know the truth about Elon Musk, British journalist Ian Hislop nails him.

I refuse to entertain anyone's delusions about Elon Musk that he cares about or is working to help anyone other than himself.

If I could blanket ban a question from education it would be 'how can I adapt this lesson for my SEND children?' as though that is just a single sized bubble of children who can't access work. SEND is not synonymous with an inability to achieve. We need better shared language.

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

When a child has experienced trauma, their behaviour isn’t a moral failing, it’s communication. The anger you see? That’s pain. The defiance? That’s fear. And the silence? That’s a survival strategy. None of this is about excusing bad behaviour. It’s about understanding it!

A pupil wrote this joke on my board today.

Science teachers- this kid is going places!!

For a lot of people, tomorrow is back to work day.
This can bring feelings of anxiety & worry.
Try to keep calm.
The days are getting longer and Spring is just round the corner.
Good Luck!!

@MissSharpe4 Many thanks @MissSharpe4

[MrLockettsMathsApps @MrLsMathsApps]

New Year meaning new school - eeek! After over 10 years at that school I hope I am not to engrained in certain systems to change!
Its been hard leaving mid year but relocation made it a must.
Great to re-read some Christmas cards and come across something fab:
