@mrsknoxmaths My whiteboards are on a plate rack at the front of the classroom. Pens & cloths in tubs next to them. The students help themselves as they enter the room.
Sunak talking about his "first flat "
When Sunak was 29 years old..
he and his wife rented a beachfront flat in Santa Monica, California
for $20,000 A MONTH
Just like all of us eh?

Looks like the Conservatives want to lose this election. As a graphic design teacher, I always remind my students to consider the profile pic when designing FB covers. The Conservative slogan is hidden by their profile pic 🤦♂️

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.
They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.
@StudyMaths I start off teaching with actual counters … then because our KS3 all have their own iPads I’m able to introduce them to Mathsbot ⭐️ very low ability students absolutely smashing adding & subtracting negative numbers ⭐️
@NEUnion So it’s not fully funded ? Why are we accepting it ? Without proper funding colleagues will lose their jobs. This is not the outcome we took action for.
Quick video message:
When we met Gillian Keegan before Easter, she told us we shouldn’t ask for a pay rise because inflation was falling.
Today we see in the papers that she and Rishi Sunak say we shouldn’t ask for a pay rise because inflation is increasing!

Another behaviour thread: Why tactically ignoring is often a bad idea.
Scenario: A student is committing a minor infraction in the lesson. Rocking on their chair, chewing gum etc..
Teachers are commonly recommended to tactically ignore small infractions like these..1/13
Huge numbers of vacancies, thousands leaving the profession, ballooning class sizes…
And @GillianKeegan thinks the right response is to ignore the pay review body.
Our fight for a fully-funded, fair pay rise is not over.

Think-piece: Everyone in the Department for Education should have to teach full-time for at least 1 term in a state school (and complete it) to qualify to be there.
Idea being - actual teachers would eventually take over all the roles cos no one would 'pass'.
