@KathrynAHarper1 @Chrissietutoruk Or, as a junior school, having to do the one the infants have chosen, even though it’s not the best, so you can show progression, then get told it’s not KS2 friendly!!
@Gilbert_36174 @aanisahkhan__ My staff would reiterate that. The old style actually developed something in school, and was beneficial all round. This was not.
Today, the Taliban passed a law that bans women from showing their faces and having their voices heard in public. Their burqas must now entirely cover their faces and they are not permitted to speak in public or to look at any males that are not relatives. Perhaps it’s been an emotional year, or maybe it’s because I’m triggered, but I once again cried when I heard the news. I’m still trying to piece myself together. Not even animals are treated with such cruelty, such dehumanization, such indignity, and such little value for human life. This is the entire erasure of the existence of women, and it cuts me to the core to know what Afghanistan and Iran were before this cancerous plague was brought to us. Where are the protests? Where is the outrage? Where is the ICJ? The ICC? Amnesty? Why doesn’t anybody care about the effective enslavement of millions of women under the jihadist system of gender apartheid?
@WhistleblowingT PPA is non contact. It can’t be non contact if there are no students there in the first place. We looked at the Friday afternoon thing, and were told that it wasn’t right for the above reasons.
@thelefty52 If this is true, she needs to try and teach for that long! How does that encourage new vibrant teachers, there’ll be no jobs for them as it will be filled with older staff. Death in service payments will go through the roof!!
@kennykoalabear@tes It’s had the opposite effect for me - fright/freeze mode all the time and high cortisol has made me put on loads of weight! Teaching should not make anyone feel so stressed that it has any consequences to their physical or mental health! Things need to change.
