@Magdale03028309 We recommend loop in-ear plugs to secondary age pupils. A couple of Y11/13 students wear ear defenders in exams and aren’t at bothered by what other people say
@GillianKeegan Is that really the most important thing for you as Education minister, to be bothered with? Stick to facts - like the crisis in teacher retention, building safety and the rate of pupil absence, or are these just too difficult to fix?
@MichaelT1979 We have TA posts unfilled because the pay is so poor. I couldn’t lead the team if it weren’t for my hubby as I regularly do more then my paid hrs - and am expected to do so. It can’t continue much longer
@darynsimon In our experience, it is the parents who struggle more - not having immediate face2face contact with teachers, allowing their child freedom to walk to and from school alone, parent playground mafia meetings. The list goes on
@Oates27 Mine was always an angel at primary; they don’t do nativity at secondary so she became a teenager.
I really hope she can be an angel again one day soon ……
@Creepy_jesu5@anon_opin Quite happy with my Hotmail address. I do have others for work related emails, but for personal stuff this works for me. What I don’t have is a ridiculous, age defining handle before it!!
@simon_davies2@Teacherglitter Her Dad did the first motorway drive with her, but she did a ‘magic’ roundabout independently and drives me frequently since passing.
We spent so long together when she was learning that I miss that special time now
@GillianKeegan@Conservatives So, if everything is so great, why are staff leaving in droves and more students failing to achieve their targets than ever before. Then there’s the SEN provision question ….
@Miss_Snuffy Rejecting commercialisation in favour of a Christmas that suits the individual is a non-issue. Stop trying to create something that isnt there.
@Miss_Snuffy@marksandspencer Please stick to what you think you’re good at (being a headteacher) and don’t try to speak for others - particularly when many hate Christmas, work throughout it, get into debt over it, or are alone.
You don’t speak for me
@eon_next I’m currently paying £60/m. My last monthly bill was £47.52 which left me £70.63 in credit. Why do you now feel increasing my dd payments to £84.55 is justified?
This is a ridiculous and exorbitant increase to which I don’t agree. How do I refuse this increase?
