@PDRNHPUK He makes Lee Anderson appear erudite and there aren't many can do that it must be said.

@JohnBeckerEA @RobKenyonReform Tbf 30p Lee will be hoping Rob is successful as Rob's performance on QT made 30p Lee appear positively erudite and there aren't many could do that.

Wow: multi-academy trust which has faced intense scrutiny over its behaviour management policies "could disband after 'reflection'": https://t.co/U3p5xNJvnt

Perhaps some irony in that headline. News comes in statement from Athena trust's chair, following news of CEO's departure.

😂 😂 @Derbyshirecc no response to st1 complaint, no response to email chasing. Asked to escalate to st2 it’s been assigned to the person responsible for the actions I complained about! What a flipping joke! Will complain again in 29 days when he hasn’t responded I suppose 🤷

@dunkingwithfish No that’s the trouble they hook onto things quite quickly and unforeseen very often. Hope you can find an acceptable alternative.

Goodness: as an update to the below, have just had the news, via a letter sent to governors, that the chief executive of St Ralph Sherwin CMAT has "resigned with immediate effect".

Lots of talk about the 1M or so NEETs in the UK. Yet there's a net shortfall of 260k & an ageing workforce in the energy transition in the UK alone. Surely there's a solution here? Some kind of new apprenticeship programme? https://t.co/UHlWfpm8Ez

@RobKenyonReform You came across as really unintelligent and unable to string a full sentence embarrassing really. Bet Nigel wished the BBC hadn’t apologised as you did yourself no favours. Good of your mum though to help you look smart.

@DanaPalubiak Edu-Twitter really has become a place full of teachers that believe in educational authoritarianism and that is a scary thing

[Thomas H. 💙 @THemingford]

Cut welfare to the bone and you do not create a stronger economy. You create unpaid bills, empty tills, worsening health, deeper poverty, and more pressure on councils, the NHS, charities, schools, and families. Poverty is expensive. Extreme poverty is even worse.

[Vivienne Raper @VivRaper]

Excellent article. When children don't have middle-class parents, no one thinks they are "pushy" or "overdiagnosed". But they don't get the help they need. Instead, they are just quietly failed - left with no diagnosis, in the wrong educational setting, and with their needs unmet

[Dana Palubiak @DanaPalubiak]

Calling inquiry 'malpractice' while ignoring hungry kids, crumbling schools, and burned-out teachers? That's the real malpractice. But sure. The crisis is too much curiosity.

@mathillustrated It’s the expectations to “sit still” that always get me. When I work with adults we look around the room at who is sitting still. None of them are. Not because they have medical afflictions, but because it is not a natural state for us as human beings. We are designed to move.

90% of people who are told their fetus will have Down syndrome end the pregnancy. Virtually none talk about it. This is common and yet shrouded in shame. I’m not sure piling more shame onto it helps anyone, although I’m sure it makes some people feel morally superior.

[Dana Palubiak @DanaPalubiak]

Greg says poverty isn't an excuse. He says teachers should focus on instruction, not hunger.

Let me tell you about the district in my community.

Maplewood Richmond Heights didn't just talk about hungry kids. They bought a house. They called it Joe's Place.

@anon_alice_ Grandson heard his mum say “Jesus wept £60 for petrol” For ages after wherever they went he’d say “Jesus wept how much?” Every time she went to pay . He spoke clear as a bell too so no hiding what he was saying.

[asdfriendly @asdfriendly]

@anon_alice_ Son’s first words were bloody hell! echoed when a man dropped a glass in M&S. I celebrated as didn’t think he’d ever speak. He would happily throw stuff on the floor to say bloody hell 😂

@RachelFairfiel1 @PhilHumber1 @johnpringdns If you are appointee you can speak on their behalf. Assessors try it on but if you stand your ground repeating DWP have made me appointee and as such I can speak on her behalf they will give in. D has SM so can’t speak on a phone at all.
