Absolutely awful news for all involved in education

On Sept. 11, 1973 Salvador Allende, Chile’s democratically elected president, was overthrown by a military coup backed by the U.S. which ushered in a fascist government and the loss of thousands of Chilean lives. Today, we honor the memory of Salvador Allende.

Really clear explanation of the suppression of wage growth across the public sector. Come on @GillianKeegan get back round the table and pay teachers properly #PayUp

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

The latest teachers strike in England is today. 3 mins on what's happened to teachers' pay since 2012. The average teachers' salary has reduced in real terms - and more so than some other professions. Produced by Michael Cox, Rob England, Robert Cuffe. https://t.co/Kg3nSo3agh

@letclothesbe It’s ridiculous and almost ruined one of my girls transition to high school! Twins had same skirt, but one of them had a growth spurt at end of summer and it looked shorter. And I’m lucky that I can afford to buy new skirts @ £20 - lots of low income families just couldn’t.

[Emma Forrest @EmmaF_NEU]

@letclothesbe 2/2 I couldn’t get her new skirt because they have to have logo and all stockists had sold out - no logo on trousers but funny rules about length and tightness. They are also not allowed to wear boots in winter??

[Emma Forrest @EmmaF_NEU]

@letclothesbe I can send you policy from my girls school - skirts no shorter than 1 inch above knee! My twins started year 7 and were pulled up every day for 2 weeks because skirt too short - she was told to pull the zip down and hold it closed because it would then look longer 😡
