@Jennnnnn_x 3yo -> 4yo ongoing! This is my boy! Fine once he’s there (as far as I can tell!) and soooo much happier to go to school than nursery, but still always would rather be home. It’s heart wrenching. Hugs.

@Mat_at_Brookes I wonder how much of this is a consequence of programs like Accelerated Reader? I fear this pushes a mentality of competitive points scoring over building a genuine love of reading, children focusing on a quiz & moving on instead of getting engrossed in a book.

The current national curriculum is ten years old.

In that time, teachers, leaders, children, parents, employers and many others have had a chance to gauge the WWW and EBIs.

Please share your wisdom and advice in the call for evidence.

Just spent 15mins redacting my X feed of some awful accounts & now my feed looks like it’s been reborn! Educators sharing and caring & positive people finally wahoo!

@Teacherglitter Love this. So glad she is in a better place now. Wish there was more space for compassion in secondary schools now.

@MrBishopGeog That’s awesome!

[Jo Coles @GeoDebs]

@woollyvix Thinking of you. The firsts are always the worst.

[Jo Coles @GeoDebs]

@grego_geog @Jennnnnn_x Ahh wouldn’t it be amazing if it could get back to this place? I mean there were still a few heated debates (almost cathartic), but the resource sharing was beautiful!

[Jo Coles @GeoDebs]

@criminographer Oh sweet girl. I am so so sorry for you all and having this most awful heartbreak again is unimaginable. I have no useful words, but truly your children are beautiful.
