@owalalife unusable damaged bottle delivered at a high price point. No warranty, no refund or replacement offered with poor & painstakingly slow customer service! Do not support this company!

Turns out if you call a sheep 'lonely' then the whole nation wants them to be rescued. It's a shame they don't feel the same about the millions killed every year in slaughterhouses 🙄

I have tried way more foods since leaving animals off my plate than I ever did when eating them.

@RobertCheeke Are you still a vegan?

[Dr David Barton @davidbartonmus]

Never, in over 20 years teaching, have I had to wait over three hours to book a single exam (and I’m still waiting). This can’t possibly be a “better” system than pen and paper, @ABRSM? 🙄

You know what I miss most after going #vegan? Nothing. I miss absolutely nothing.

You thought wrong.

@vegannutrition1 Foodie trip to Brighton

@vegannutrition1 Rice up wholefoods in Southampton stock this, it’s an absolute fav of ours!

No GCSEs or A-Level exams this summer, but they've been replaced by classroom 'assessments' and 'tests' (exams by another name) in seemingly double the number. Lots of anxious, stressed-out Y11 and Y12 students at the moment. So sad to see after everything they've been through ☹️

A member of staff told me today that any child struggling academically in class should not be allowed to learn an instrument during school time..... thoughts on their opinion?

I reckon this pandemic generation of children will go on to amaze us. (And even if I didn't that's what I'd be telling them because children live up to your expectations.) 😉😎

Great that schools are opening but pls could teachers be vaccinated? As a peri teacher, I go into 3 different institutions a week, coming into contact with loads of kids from multiple year groups - all blowing their instrument at me. Surely I’m at risk (myself & as a spreader!)

[Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation @BarbaraBleiman]

Why are teachers not being vaccinated right now? Who else has to sit in an enclosed space with 30+ other people, all day long, breathing the same air, with no screens, no high grade PPE, no proper protection? This is a national scandal. Teachers need public support on this!

[Educator Supe @ShakinthatChalk]

Germany is vaccinating all teachers.
