@BestOfDullMen Someone told me they knew when post WW2 rationing was over because they were allowed to butter the holey side.

@_MissieBee @jpembroke I got v grumpy when my august born was described as having met the expected standards for a 5yo at the end of reception. She was still 4!!!! I knew she'd exceeded expectations! She aced primary and is straight top sets for GCSE.

@callybeaton I have a .org email address. I give it to people. A lot read it back .org.uk. And you know? If they can't listen, I don't want to hear from them again so it works well!

@ottheorypraxis We've found that the more we offer training about sensory processing, the more referrals we get for 'sensory'. Your post has confirmed any future training on sensory will have a precis of your post at the start and end.

You can inept. Can you be ept?

@devecs There was one in the science museum in Newcastle a couple of years ago. With a colour screen. Mine is clearly too old to belong in archives! iPod docked to 12yos stereo in his room. Both kids have mp3 players though since school banned phones.

@Teacherglitter Plus, if they do well at SATS they will be predicted outstanding GCSEs in y7 and spend the next 5 years struggling to meet their expected grade of 9. My y10 is getting 6-8s but not meeting expected standards so has changed career options because she feels inadequate.

@VerandaThought @MrEFinch Teachers are often surprised when I tell them there are 8 senses (in the context of their child who cannot sit still,makes funny noises, eats pencils etc).

@Sue_T2O I was about to say the mugs are too small... But a half pint of tea chaser and wine is a winning combo! Have fun

@BethRowe1 @MaxRoweReads Happy birthday @MaxRoweReads Hope it's fabulous.

@Teacherglitter Our only election is the police commissioner. I have no idea who is standing, no candidate can be bothered to communicate with us. I nearly went to vote because not turning up feels wrong, but I couldn't face coming home to get my passport and going out again. 1st time no vote.

@QEMrsWright I've used Ms since I legally became an adult. Titles are whatever you want them to be. I'd rather not use one at all. I don't often use my surname either!

@PaulaMc007 @AutisticDoctor We could just scrap society and rebuild it with an expectation that most people shouldn't fit in small boxes and ensure that all sorts of people are accepted for who they are. We're a better species if we're diverse.

@Mad_Anne_Flint @adamfare1996 I worked with a child who said "I can't follow instructions,I have ADHD". I told them if they wanted to do cycle skills, they had to follow instructions or it would be dangerous. They could be very compliant. Distracted and impulsive, but fine with clear timely instructions.
