Saw this on the twitter and thought, “We’ll have a bit of that!” My school is now the proud owner of a Parent Lending Library! 🤜🤛 Such a simple way to build a love of reading throughout the whole family!

@Councillorsuzie The poor child that will be born into her world. Forever in the shadow of what the mother did. It won’t be a positive life unless she can have a clean break from the outset.

@MaeveHalligan @maevehalligan Absolutely superb. At long last a voice of common sense being heard loud above the rest. Thank you for not giving way and finally allowing the truth to be heard clearly without being shutdown by those already trapped in the system.

Teachers make around 1,500 decisions a day.
In a 10 hour day thats 150 decisions an hour.
That’s a decision to make every 24 seconds.
Nearly 300,000 decisions in 39 weeks of teaching.
Such a mentally demanding job.
Too many holidays, yeah right!

@apoahs “It’s always the same”

[Arbee Smith @ArbeeSmith]

Nailed it.

Elementary school teacher has a list of things she says parents are NOT ready to hear.

@BadmintonEnglnd Not a fan of this decision. Fine for elite but not for clubs and local level.

[Jordan Walker @JayW132]

VAT on private school fees was pitched as a way to raise money for public services.

New report: it's projected to cost the public £181m by 2038.

I love when people fall out laughing.
I love how much we can’t control ourselves in this moment. It’s one of my favorite feelings.
Re-telling this story would not do it justice. This is really a "You had to be there" moment. Lol

My big ridiculous Bond films chart. Now with added nonsense.

“…the current epidemic of childhood disability is not a medical problem. It is a cultural failure. Telling children that they are disabled, and unable to cope with the demands of life, is setting them up for a life of dependency and unfulfilled potential” https://t.co/PAIThd32Bp

@markgadala Crackhead is Owen Wilson 🤣🤣

[Dana Palubiak @DanaPalubiak]

A child who reads twenty minutes a day encounters millions of words in a year.

That exposure builds vocabulary, background knowledge, and language patterns.

No worksheet can compete with that.

Reading widely is one of the most powerful learning engines we have.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

There is a belief that teachers should handle student disrespect with angelic patience. 

Wrong.

Respect is a two-way street, and teachers deserve dignity—not endless tolerance for bad behavior.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

As a teacher, this is what I want to say to SOME parents:

Stop making excuses for your kids. STOP IT. Teach them to earn things, not demand things. Hold them to a higher standard. Challenge them. That way, when I try to challenge them, they’ll know we both expect it.

Exactly why I'm watching MotoGP this year and have cancelled all of my F1 subscriptions - if you were ever watching in the Schumacher era, you will absolutely hate what F1 has become now.

[Arbee Smith @ArbeeSmith]

@Glinner Absolutely ridiculous.
Our children have been placed in their experimentation crosshairs. When will the madness end?

[Arbee Smith @ArbeeSmith]

@Miss_Snuffy Absolutely ridiculous ‘guidance’.

[Arbee Smith @ArbeeSmith]

@peafunkfan @WorldofHotspur The full quote actually praises Dom and the teenagers. He said that he wanted Dom, but to build on success you need more than one Prem player to jump into the squad, not go for players who will become superb in the future.

[Paul Anleitner @PaulAnleitner]

The online trend of young men reading classic works of literature and posting about it continues.

⁦@ChrisKindaReads⁩ was the first I saw do it, but it is spreading.

Don’t blackpill on the next generation.
