@dianastaniforth @willett_gemma Same! Good find!

In 1995, 14 wolves were released into the wild in Yellowstone National Park. Scientists at the time did not suspect that this would radically change the entire ecosystem of the park. 1/n

@NatashaRandall Ooh hideous! I'd be deeply distrustful of anyone who didn't like you! There will be decent people there, but probably (maybe wisely?!) hiding!

@PrimaryCoHead Didn't mean to cause offence with this! Surprised to be blocked for this comment.

@PrimaryCoHead This person may have done loads of research about potential schools in their area, including following you here. I hope they don't feel upset by this thread.

[Emily @EmsShort]

@PrimaryCoHead Ah! Good point!

@CSPrimaryTeach @brumrosie So lovely to find I'm not alone in this opinion!

[Emily @EmsShort]

@Councillorsuzie Oh dear... I think you may need a dictionary.

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

Teachers are the last people who want schools to shut down.

They understand the serious impact lockdown will have on students better than anyone.

When they say it's too dangerous to reopen in full knowledge of this, we need to listen to them.

Trust teachers, not Tories.

My son’s headteacher is emailing me about key worker provision at 9pm on NYE. Thanks @GavinWilliamson

The lack of headteachers over the next 5 years is on you.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

When someone sits outside a school with their engine idling, it has the same moral significance as walking into that school without a mask. It's selfish behaviour that presents a grave risk to other people's health.
It should be as socially unacceptable as spreading the virus.

@NatashaRandall Hope the headache has gone. And the decisions are becoming easier to make. I tried to work 'bindu' into this tweet and failed.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

This is what Gove abolished. To do so he had to enlist the help of the media to rubbish teachers’ professionalism. They’re still at it day after day wittering on about ‘grade inflation’. Same old same old.

And the infrastructure was in place as it is done for NEAs in most subjects.

I'm just feeling from how unfair the application of this algorithm has been. I would just rather teachers had been trusted than what we have now. I know there's no perfect solution but the current situation has created such a class divide.
