If you are a parent at home & thinking teacher recruitment doesn't affect you / your kids aren't in AEN & so it doesn't affect them- think again. Unsupported AEN affects EVERY child, EVERY classroom-be it teacher needing to move at a slower pace, reteaching, behaviour issues etc

There is such a massive gap between the assessed needs of children and the service delivery for them.
Latest eg
4 year old boy. Assessments emphasize the need for specific services for the child ‘asap’.

Here is my annual reminder that if Santa is bringing a games console, Santa might want to plug it in and turn it on and get all the updates done now, in advance, so that it is all ready to go on the big day.

People moaning about the weather at least it’s not snowing. Imagine shovelling snow in this heat.

Dropped teenage son off at airport for 1st holiday alone with mates… get call within 20 mins - can’t find passport. Text 2 mins later - found it. This is going to be a long week, isn’t it?

Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.

@kermit_kerm @simonmlewis The training is also not given in preparation for the class but only after the class has opened. For a variety of reasons many teachers do not actually receive it during their first year working in the class.

@kermit_kerm @simonmlewis Libraries do not even exist in many schools.
I know schools told to DIVIDE a classroom!

@seansherlocktd @labour And that's for a young person who is so completely in need that they make the extraordinarily high thresholds. Those who are struggling hugely, often in crisis, but who don't make it through the screening process have to struggle on with their families, unaided and unsupported.

@seansherlocktd @labour @seansherlocktd I'm sorry to say that from my experience 21 months is a disgracefully optimistic timeline for many children.

To the charismatic bald gentleman working at T1 security @DublinAirport, you made a lot of peoples morning’s. Some of my favourites ; “keep going folks, all the way to St Tropez” & the brief rendition of ‘Is This The Way To Amarillo’. Legend.
