@JamesSlatman@ShakinthatChalk Having worked in 4 other professions previously, teaching is the only one requiring out of hours work unpaid every week, the only one that made me suicidal due to workload & burnout, the only one that I ended up losing 2 stone from not having time to eat. It’s unsustainable.
@stephenheppell@ShakinthatChalk Yes! Being micro managed by SLT who can’t do our jobs is so awful. No freedom to actually do the creative engaging lessons we used to plan a decade ago because now every class has to use a certain scheme (dull and dry, then we get told off when the kids aren’t inspired).
@ShakinthatChalk@ValerieElson@CatScutt@educationgovuk I wish we could do that now. I’m literally torn between quitting to work part time in an office so I can do a Masters, or just quitting altogether to have a work-life balance. I have never been allowed to choose my own CPD course & in my current school only get 1 CPD day a yr!
@Hardley76 @darrellmaclaine No it isn’t. Children who are educated properly still love books. The problem is the way publishing houses push crap celebs as ‘authors’ and paying millions to them for absolute trash. David Walliams are genuinely racist & sexist yet his books are promoted over REAL good writers.
@BarneyAllen @darrellmaclaine My local charity shop is full of David Walliams trash. I wish they were pulped instead. Famous non-author books line all the Supermarket shelves, it’s so frustrating. Well done for buying your daughter The Hunger Games! May real books be ever in her favour!
Remember the man who won an Olympic gold medal in women’s boxing?
His medical reports show he has XY chromosomes, male testosterone levels, testicles, & a micropenis.
But that never mattered—they believe that words & feelings make you woman, not biology.

@WhistleblowingT You clearly don’t work in primary. We have to print&trim work every day, get resources out of cupboards that are the other end of school, put the chairs and books out for pupils, change the visual timetable and date, set up the lunch menu for kids to see what they can choose etc
@sewistwrites You’re bang on the money. Before they became ‘famous’ I knew one of the ‘founders of gentle parenting’. They started a pyramid scheme & got angry when I called it out as such & refused to pay to join. The women who did pay all regretted it. It’s a ruse that has made millions.
@Ninawildflower Wow, sounds just like my Head, who told me multiple stars were allowed to work while Covid positive, but the rest of us weren’t told so we all caught it multiple times. Disgusting behaviour.
@dustychipura Having adequate notice of meetings and what content they will be about. I get incredibly thrown, I would even say traumatised, when SLT pulls me into an office for a ‘quick chat’ and it turns out to be something else entirely. I can’t respond without preparation time.
@PeepsReferendum@Jo_WhiteheadUK@SheltonJoh3872 This is the dictionary definition of brainwashing. I’m sorry you’ve been sucked in. It’s a shame your education failed to teach you critical thinking skills. Sadly, the only people rioting & being racist are those with low IQ. The cleverest towns had no riots & voted remain!
@MacPsy@sappholives83 Is that what it is? It always seems to be envy of their wife, so many photos of married men ‘becoming’ the exact image of their wives.
Men kill women because they believe inherently that they deserve their unconditional love and attention, that a woman does not have the right to reject them or their advances, that women are in some way lesser than them.
They dehumanise women and so it is easy for them to kill them for 'hurting their feelings'. These men have not learnt emotional regulation, of being able to look after themselves, of seeing women as individuals, not learnt to value women's right to their emotions or their bodies.
They are normal men, not some kind of evil monsters. That is the problem, don't you see.
Some days I feel too tired.
