Moving from LKS2 to Y2. Career changer keen to gain experience. Interested in SEN personally and professionally. Two boys, who teach me so much. Miss West Wing.
@SwailesRuth If employer treated adults this way for small infractions, they would be liable to action under employment legislation. Yet sadly, many schools have dehumanising rules in place. Perhaps this is why we have EBSNA and SEND crisises?
@MichaelRosenYes And guess what, we’re teaching through videos. Because children need more screen time and we can’t trust teachers to model. Much better for them to watch letters magically appear on a screen rather than see an actual hand move across a page.
@MichaelRosenYes I am so sorry you are being targeted with this again. Perhaps you could repost the piece where you recount Eddies last day. It is beautiful and deeply affecting. Haters will still hate but lovers will be able to hold you even tighter. Sending strength.
@Teacherglitter My trust does a whole school inset every year. It’s great to collaborate with colleagues from all our schools. Recent years have focussed on curriculum development. It always leads to tangible outcomes and I always come away with something I can action, that wasn’t on the agenda.
@srkitchengarden How do I contact customer services? Part of my delivery is missing. Your phonelines always seem to be off when I call and your Chatbit doesn't seemed to have actioned the things it promised. Really poor service!!
@sallyephillips@guardian And no mention of the increased demands placed on pupils, meaning more find it harder to ‘make the grade’ and need extra support. The walls are falling down because the foundations are failing. Not because parents are leaning on them, walls should be able to support.
@sallyephillips@guardian This is the narrative, pushing parents breaking councils with demands for private specialist schools. The article mentions but glides over the fact that a new system was set up in 2010 but not funded. No mention of how overall school funding has dwindled in real terms.
@sewistwrites Their lives were hard. My Nanas first husband died in WW2. They both worked all their lives but only had access to low paid jobs and had no childcare available so had to rely on grandparents or choose jobs where baby went too.
@sewistwrites They would both want woman to have more opportunities than they had and championed their daughters and granddaughters gaining educations that weren’t available to them as working class girls and were proud of our careers. 2/3
