@imposhster101 @theAliceRoberts What’s your point?

[The ECT Mentor @TheECTMentor]

Is anyone going to tell them that ‘Requires Improvement’ is 2 words? #ofsted

@WhistleblowingT I’m sure that you will happily teach a class full of ill children, just so their parents can go to work to make it fair for you.

@piersmorgan May be his brother should go. Although I’m sure you would have a larger problem with that.

@MrHoughTeacher @BBCOne @Lord_Sugar Love this. Where did you get the information for the bios from? I may have to pinch this idea!

[The ECT Mentor @TheECTMentor]

@WhistleblowingT Nope. Not yet, I’m the first instance I believe that the CC who run our payroll (we are an academy) said that as their was a pay dispute that there were holding fire as ‘we’ hadn’t agreed the 5%. We are meant to be getting it at the end of this month. Watch this space.

Day one in the books. Glad that is over

@poppygibsonuk You make your own luck. Get out there and make it

@MrEMediaStudies 27. Lucky enough to have my now wife with me. Currently in our second house with our own kids. Extended as it wa better value than moving.

@WhistleblowingT Don’t smile until half term. Absolute nonsense. Show the students you are human. You get a lot more buy in

@DeputyGrocott I had the lurgy in the last couple of weeks. Now the youngest has it which means little sleep for everyone!

[The ECT Mentor @TheECTMentor]

@WeAreTeachers Yep. Mine is from 2010, fresh faced, long blonde hair. Fast forward 12 years, 2 kids later nearly bald. Still wearing the same tie.

@WhistleblowingT £10 a year for milk. I take my own coffee

@MissParr2020 Well done. A very much deserved break. Get plenty of rest, recovery and do what you want to do!

@mr_englishteach This thread has been given a boost. When I can, I always try and move away from the add more here without saying what to cut out. Our students have to write in tight time conditions, they write as much as they can, it’s about guidance on writing smarter, rather than more.

@MissEmmaTurner I have the worst initials. TWA. We love initials in education, now think about giving your email address to an angry parent on the phone - Twa @ - when I leave my school, it’s the first line of my leaving speech 😬
