[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

Teachers are expected to:

• Arrive before everyone else
• Teach all day
• Manage 30+ different personalities in every class
• Differentiate lessons for every learning level
• Keep students engaged
• Handle behavior issues
• Answer parent emails
• Attend endless meetings
• Grade mountains of assignments
• Track data and update online systems
• Complete paperwork
• Plan tomorrow’s lessons
• Support struggling students
• Challenge advanced students
• Cover for absent staff
• Supervise lunch, hallways, and dismissal
• Adapt to every new initiative that comes along

And after all that, they're somehow expected to go home with enough energy to be a parent, partner, friend, or simply a functioning human being.

People talk about teacher shortages, burnout, and declining morale as if they're mysteries.

They're not.

You can't keep adding responsibilities to a job that's already overflowing and then act surprised when people reach their limit.

The real question isn't why teachers are burning out.

It's why anyone expects them not to.

Our FREE school uniform bank will be on @BBCRadioLincs Breakfast Show tomorrow morning at 7:20am

I'll be telling @scottydalton about Friday's event at Boston Youth Hub, where people can turn up between 10am and 6pm and take whatever pre-loved uniform they need - for no charge.

[The Best @TheBestqueenx]

You’ll find many masters living among ordinary folks.

There's even some medals and stickers in our bag for the race winners 🏅

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

There are several ways that schools can make changes to keep children safe in hot weather, especially as children are more at risk of becoming ill with heat-related issues than adults.

The UK Health Security Agency (@UKHSA) has published updated guidance for schools and early years settings to help them.

Here are some important points to support settings during hot weather: https://t.co/kaV8xZDRIv

Parting Words #5: A Changed World

In this thread, I'm going to reflect a little on the impact that the pandemic has had on children, educators & schools.

I apologise at the outset if this is sensitive, particularly for those who have experienced loss, hardship or suffering.
