Personal views. You'll see much about education, not least as I'm a French teacher, plus prisons, homelessness & vital variety besides.

@herdyshepherd1 Dare I say, they're also very handsome beasts. The calves cute....

Two articles out today that back up everything teachers have been saying, and expose Foley's Follys during her time as Minister for Ed.
What damage and waste has she caused?

[Dr Gianfranco Conti @gianfrancocont9]

With one or two hours per week what should teachers prioritise - fluency or grammar ? - a research perspective

A must read.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition.

On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.

We call it genocide because it is genocide.”

—UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Here is a young man like any other.

He had hopes, dreams, fears, worries.

His crime? Being a Palestinian born in Gaza.

His last hideous moments on earth: being burned alive by an Israeli missile while attached to an IV drip.

Don’t look away

@SeanSpurr My fave bookshop here in Dublin is @GutterDalkey and that name comes from the Wilde quote about gutter and stars - which they use on comms and www and bookmarks. What's your fave book or quote? Might inspire.

Not a #Paris2024 volunteer or guide in sight. Just 60000+ people waiting aimlessly in heat...not a good look at all. #Olympics2024 @Paris2024 @StadeFrance

@10DowningStreet @JamesTCobbler @MoJGovUK Congratulations James, a great appointment to round off a great day. I know first hand that you believe in - better - prison education and training, from the @CoatesSally review all those years ago... Much to do, wish you all the best.

[Olivia Kavanagh @MrsOhKay]

@MrAndrewCotter Was beautifully done I thought. Class from all concerned.

@campbellclaret @itvfootball @IanWright0 @GNev2 I'm having to watch England on rte as we don't have that itv here in Dublin. They very definitely don't want England to win. One just explained #schadenfreude

[Olivia Kavanagh @MrsOhKay]

@Janroweljmu @keysersozesbro We can request a personal day (up to 5 I think) here in Ireland, eg for a wedding, communion or event at kid's school.... Difference to say sick leave day is you have to sort your own cover for classes. Which everyone obliged with as seems likely you'll be able to return favour.

@AndyWWestwood Hmm. Shame actions of a few what seem to be thugs ruining it now though...

Overjoyed and a little astounded that the immortal John Banville agreed to write this for The Fence #18, the best issue we've ever done.

A piece of real beauty and depth on the subject of Coming Of Age, which you can now read here in full
