School staff car parks are empty until 7:30am and empty again after 4:30pm.

As long as colleagues are giving children the very best of themselves during the working day, using their PPA time effectively and delivering high-quality teaching and support...

What's 👏 the 👏 problem? 👏

Many school staff are parents and carers themselves. Professionalism shouldn't be measured by how long someone's car is parked at school.

There needs to be a level of trust and flexibility that allows staff to manage the admin side of their role in a way that works around their own family commitments and wellbeing.

Judge impact, not hours spent in a car park!

🚨 Mary Beard is absolutely bang on here on Trump:

“One of the biggest ca- casualties of the Trump administration actually has not been, in the old phrase, truth is the first casualty of war….. It’s words.

Words and language have been so extraordinarily crudified and debased. Now when you were talking to Wes Streeting you were talking about the idea that we have to take Trump seriously but not literally.

Well I’m sorry. I think politics is in part about words and and if we live in a world in which the words of the leading politicians of the planet are simply kind of looked on as window dressing to something else going on underneath, to the real action, I'm afraid we've just lost it.”

This advice is so flimsy it's painful. Watching narrative television on a physical TV is not comparable to playing games on an iPad. A four year old watching Sleeping Beauty is not comparable to a two year old playing an hour of iPad games.

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend

Barack joked,
lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant."

Michelle replied,
"No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States."
And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.

Another example of the DfE further abdicating themselves of their responsibility to offer high quality education to all children.

The quality of this will be appalling. It takes zero account of human behaviour & motivation. Oh & there’s increased screen time. Wonderful.

I’ll do this for you now, for free @bphillipsonMP

It’s smartphones.

my kid wants to stay up after bedtime looking at books with a flashlight, but i of course put a stop to it right away because that sort of behavior is a one way street to a phd in the humanities

Hunt avoids £100k of Stamp Duty

Sunak wife 'non dom' status

Zahawi underpays millions in tax and pays a fine

Mone PPE - no resolution over millions

Rayner - given wrong advice over £40k of Stamp Duty - loses everything

Teaching at this time of year is absolutely nuts. I can’t concentrate on anything for longer than 5 minutes because all the adrenaline that I’ve run on all year has finally run out and I’m an empty husk.

End of Day Dissociation™️ because, sometimes, doing nothing feels like everything 👍

I loved working on this article for @NATEfeed: I explore how borrowing structural and visual techniques from film can help students write with with greater clarity and control, making their writing more structured and immersive. https://t.co/DWQaIugBbZ #NATE

Protecting your attention span seems like the most radical form of self discipline you can embark on today

[divya venn @divya_venn]

being annoyed is the price you pay for community.

it means having guests when you'd rather be alone. it means letting someone live with you even when they get on your nerves. it means showing up for events that you'd rather not go to. it means turning the other cheek.

“Radical honesty” is lazy — the ability to discern between necessary disclosure and tactful omission is an important life skill

Actually the strongest link between school and prison according to the data is not exclusion.
It’s illiteracy.
So synthetic phonics, explicit vocabulary instruction and guided reading might be a better intervention line…

I stand with Rachel Reeves. And Angela Rayner. And Jess Phillips. Plus all the other women who the right wing press are desperate to undermine.

Imagine the shit a woman would get if she dared bring her toddler, on her shoulders, into the White House Oval Office for a press conference…

Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it.
