Having not engaged with Twitter for over a week, this suggestion by Rachel Lofthouse caught my eye. Read the quiet rage and reflect a moment.

Ignorance – Bald Headteacher. A blog which quietly rages. It captures a moment in time when what matters most is not what our system has readily celebrated. https://t.co/Sd5C4fcUDY

This is chiming with me currently

[DisappointedIdealist @DisIdealist]

It would be so nice if schools just once said “No.” Imagine if they said “No, we’re not going to rank our children just so some bean counter can ensure enough are failed.”

Maybe we could change this shitty, hostile education system and stop crapping on kids who struggle?

I have had lots of teachers asking me if they can use my children’s stories to make online videos for their pupils. Normally you have to get the author’s permission but please feel free to do whatever you like with my books at this time. Use them at toilet paper if that helps. x
