I want to reassure you all that whilst in the safari park Lion enclosure very few children were eaten by Lions whilst in the car.
Based on this evidence all children will now be able to leave the vehicles & play together outside which is far better for their mental health.

These fuckers, who you didn't see for dust when the pandemic broke, and have been working at home ever since, come crawling out of the woodwork to give judgements about something they didn't experience.

Business as usual for Ofsted now.

@EISUnion I wonder if the issue of ventilation in classrooms will finally be addressed now🤔 I wonder if Govs will apologise to teachers & school staff for the shit we have been put through for over 1yr🤔 Nah, it'll be business as usual in schools. WE DESERVE BETTER...the TRUTH

Media was paid millions to support the Government's schools policy.

@HoppySaul @MrsWalker91 @lottieflying @Framheadteacher Out of interest and to see if there is anything more we could do, what did SLTs who went above and beyond do different?

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@HoppySaul @lottieflying @MrsWalker91 The generic risk assessment comes from the local council and its updated when guidance changes. Ht's can adapt to local circumstances however. I guess it depends on how pro active ht's are in disseminating info to staff, and enforcing it

This is extraordinary and raises serious questions about independence of Public Health England. Two contradictory tweets *within 24 hours* about schools and infection rates among children. Note: school children have highest infection rates across all age groups h/t @dgurdasani1

I don't know who needs to hear this but capitalism isn't working for the vast majority of people on this planet.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@lottieflying @MrsWalker91 @HoppySaul The guidance to schools hasn't changed so the school shouldn't be doing anything different. The guidance from government should however be clearer and mandated so slt can't interpret how they want.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@41Wintr @lottieflying @HoppySaul If its in the school risk assessment, staff should be doing it. Slt's should be making that clear to staff.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@lottieflying @HoppySaul Absolutely we are. We have tried to follow all guidelines although hard to sd with prim age children. My school has just had a massive covid outbreak and staff are very angry. The mitigations dont work and we feel helpless.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@HoppySaul @lottieflying I agree.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@HoppySaul @lottieflying Yes probably. Although certain groups have emboldened some parents to kick off about pretty much anything they dont agree with at the moment.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@lottieflying @HoppySaul As much as I could criticise SLT for other things I dont think the lack of safety is on them. Its govnt, council leaders and media, holding the line that schools are safe. Inadequate guidance and no funding for workable safety measures.

[Waffle @Waffle62623363]

@lottieflying @HoppySaul It ok, I think most teachers want better safety to. Most slt's hands are tied though as they dont have budgets for extra staff or co2 monitors. School staff arent allowed to be honest with parents, although I guess some heads come across as patronizing.
