We've used the same half dozen or so clocks in exam halls, but have found that we need replace this this year with digital clocks because some of our pupils are unable to tell the time on analogue clocks. From an exams officer in an independent school.
It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
This is Arsenal's original ground that was in Plumstead SOUTH London...
So when they sing North London forever..
It's a lie..
A foot note..
They didn't win the Champions League here either...
The situation in schools in Scotland should be evidence enough that stopping suspensions, exclusions & sanctions really does not work in the real world. It should serve as a huge lesson.
🔥 The man in the red jumper on #BBCQT just said what millions are thinking, and what too much of the media won’t touch:
“We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren’t responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.”
He nailed the scapegoating game. The real problems are austerity, Brexit failures, and profiteering, not migrants.
This is the conversation the right-wing press is desperate to avoid. Share it before they bury it.

“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”

Liverpool Football Club was officially founded on this day in 1892 by John Houlding, and would ultimately go on to become the most successful football club in England 🥇 #LFC
Manuel Pellegrini provided a superb summary of James Milner in a 2015 interview with @sidlowe:
“I’m Milner’s No1 fan. Find me a more complete English player. There are players who’re better technically, yes. Quicker players, yes. Players who head better, yes. But show me one who does all the things Milner does well. There isn’t one.
“It’s hard to leave him out. Respect, commitment and performance level: 10/10, fantastic. He’s polyfunctional: full-back – the only position he doesn’t like – attacking midfield, wide. I played him as a forward and the team averaged three goals a game. He gives everything.
“You leave him on the bench and he’s absolutely furious but watch him during the game: encouraging, shouting, supporting. And in the next training session he kills himself.
“Milner’s a phenomenon, a guy with big balls and a heart this big,” Pellegrini continues, opening out his hands. “Intelligent, great mentality, one of those players that when you leave him out you’re left with this feeling of injustice; it hurts because he should always play.”
Things #Teachers don’t talk about:
Some parents treat us like the enemy for simply holding their child accountable. Meanwhile we’re the only adult in their life who refuses to lie to them about their future.
Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.
#LFC The whole football world now talking about Liverpool sacking the manager!...Arsenal are going "but, but, but we're in the UCL final tonight!" Big John Henry never forgets, that £40M and 1 for Luis Suarez still winds him up so he stole their thunder today of all days! 😀
Nobody talks about the parent who never once asked their kid if they had homework. Not once in a semester. Not once in the school year. The teacher emailed. The teacher called. The teacher sent the progress reports home. Nobody on the other end was paying attention. We talk about teacher accountability every single day, but we don't hold parents to the same standard.
