@FrontYoungMinds 7️⃣ Researchers explained neuroplasticity using a beautiful analogy.

Just like walking through a woodland, using the same path repeatedly forms a track. If we stop using it, the vegetation grows back, and the trail disappears.

Our brain works similarly. #Neuroplasticity

I know not everyone likes her - I mean, the only time I've ever had threats of violence on here are when I've tweeted positive things about her - & I don't always agree with her, but I do think Sturgeon has been a class act and will be hard to follow.

A problem in education is teachers are the front line on mental health, family, poverty issues and so much more. The idea that teachers just 'teach' is over. The line between teaching and social work, or mental health is blurring. Yet teachers cannot solve societal issues.

I mean, I understand Truss is totally out of her tree but Jeremy Hunt seems to be getting a pass for just looking like a manager.
It’s like those moments when people assume your male teaching assistant is the headteacher.
