Watching @bbcquestiontime. A old lady explains she voted brexit because of French roofers… she’s having a laugh… surely, My future, my children’s future, my families future down the drain so British roofers don’t have to use safety boards…. Come on @mrjamesob you surely saw?

@Headteacherchat We asked our applicants to design a classroom layout and gave a list of considerations to make!

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@Miss_Grimmer I do it and will continue to do it, just make sure work are aware of your travel and will be fair towards that! I don’t mind the drive but I do live in the lakes!!

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@Miss_Massingham @DeputyGrocott I don’t understand how your curriculum is so dependent on them? We don’t use them and it saves time, hassle and is easier. A subject leader should be looking at content not titles

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@the_VHT @Headteacherchat We use CUSP

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@MrBoothY6 Are you basically looking for a fry up in a bar 😂

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@JoeBarnesMoran1 That’s just my method no pressure to do that from above but I just like to make sure I can track where I’m at

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@JoeBarnesMoran1 No policy in place to say specifically you need a mark book, but I do keep a note of those who I have given verbal feedback to

@MrsLauraLewis Sorry not to make light of your situations just looking for advice…. I haven’t received notification… am I not being moderated?

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

First time in year 6 looking for advice -

We haven’t received anything about moderation today….

Am I safe in assuming we aren’t being moderated?

Any help appreciated!!

@Mr_AlmondED @mrRteaching I think it’s a mixture, I believe having 3 long texts is a strange concept, I think the questions were poor and I also thing there wasn’t enough time, the tests would have been perfect if they had 10/15 minutes more!

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@Samvimes123 @katieheffe @jamie2034 We had 2 in a room and then 2 floating so that if someone needed the toilet they could take them

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@katieheffe @jamie2034 In theory yes would be fine, however, comepletly unnecessary we are all competent and honest!!

@twinklresources Everything and ensuring we value the whole child not one minute aspect of them

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

#sats2023 feeling massively deflated for the children in my class this week. Our profession is built on the premise of improving the whole child. Yet today I had to literally watch a child cry about a test that really means nothing to them. Why are we doing this? #teacher #Year6

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

@MISSNTEACHING I have a stop watch on the board and when they talk I start it and that’s how much they miss of play!

[Jake Morris @TeachingMrM]

Seeing Matt Hancock ask for £10,000 a day for consultancy work is sickening. What he could earn in 3 days it takes me a year. Let alone the resources we buy as teachers because MP’s like him won’t fund our schools.

Let’s ensure our education is prioritising the children and not just satisfying out of touch, trigger happy inspectors. LETS MAKE A CHANGE https://t.co/vV9ISqNoF1

@jonnybid As much as it is a bad thing, it can also develop brilliant skills of working with difficult people, something I have to say I have experienced myself at a previous position!
