Being a safeguarding lead at the moment really just feels like being a broken cog in a broken system at times. Social care, CAMHS, schools... we're all drowning and no one seems to care. The kids aren't alright.

Berners-Lee, Gorbachev or Xi Jingping for me

Which individual alive today is most likely to be studied in schools in 500 years time?

[Alex @alexrodker]

[Alex @alexrodker]

Stop the count. Game over. That's it.

This is surely the greatest name in English history.

"Silius Titus"

Of course he was groom to the bedchamber...

Amazing footage from where I'm lucky to teach

In 1978, school kids in Hackney formed SKAN (School Kids against the Nazis) to oppose the National Front.

STOP THE COUNT

[Daniel Hugill @DanielHugill]

I see that the NEU are calling for schools to close. This falls into the same extreme as maintaining status quo in schools.

They should be calling for masks in classrooms, rotas, suspension of Ofsted, & big changes to exam content and structure.

They like the DfE let us down.

[Louis Everett @LouisEverett1]

Don’t #CloseTheSchools

[Alex @alexrodker]

Am quite conflicted over this. My instinct is that schools need to be staying open as much as possible and that the NEU isn't right to push for school closures. Do most people agree with the NEU?

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Teachers Union @NEUnion calling for schools to be closed in England. General Secretary @cyclingkev says 1% of primary pupils and 2% of secondary pupils have the virus.

“Don’t do a half measure”, he says.

My knowledge of the bible isn't great but I dont remember the bit in the nativity with brown leaf either...

[Alex @alexrodker]

My stellar performance as Brown Leaf c.2000 isnt promising then...

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

A study has shown a correlation between children who play Mary or Joseph in their school nativity play, and being a high earner later in life.
