@TAconfglos have there been any thoughts on another conference? I’ve been lucky enough to go to two and they’ve been brilliant

@voronaumie @CPOMSUK Support seems a bit of a problem it seems, lots of schools having issues and no solution found.

@Loubell1979 @CPOMSUK You're not the only one, we've lost users and had login issues. HT is trying to resolve it with them, but whatever has gone wrong they seem unable to sort it out. Meanwhile sensitive info is being passed through word of mouth to keep people in the loop.

The fear has begun, at 5.30am this morning. No chance of a lie in on the last weekend of the hols!

@TwinklTA Of course it’ll be pro rata’d so not much real increase

@Steph3103 Apparently because the children were disregulated it’s ok. It seems to be ok to occur in your average state school, but SEN schools appear to have a better handle on this type of behaviour.

I was unexpectedly thumped hard by a 5 year old, then I was kicked hard in the shin by a 6 year old who then left school grounds under the back gate of the school with me following. Consequences for these children? No, but I’ve been left bruised and mentally shaken.

It's time for this week's edition of

School, prison or hospital...

@EyesShutTeacher Can some instructions be written on board to be read instead of heard by students?

4 days of school = 4 random items in my coat pockets!

@ballater6 @WhistleblowingT Often not just a one off as the child gets to choose and will generally pick from a select few. When the select few include the low abilities then these children end up with additional interventions and miss out on non-core learning, eg History, music, art

[Invisible TA 👩‍🏫🏫🔤🧮🧸🌳 @invisible_ta]

@Hannah_Digest I'd keep it the same, extending the half terms would make it harder for some children to retain learning.

@the_VHT A great idea, if you walk in other people's shoes it makes it easier to understand and empathise with the struggles and successes that their roles encounter.

This year’s fad?

[Mr Withers 🎒 @MrWithersY6]

@Alfiesmummys Good luck for tomorrow

[Invisible TA 👩‍🏫🏫🔤🧮🧸🌳 @invisible_ta]

@HLouiseSmee @cully34 @ottleyoconnor Or even all school staff, many primary schools now have more female TAs than female teachers

[Invisible TA 👩‍🏫🏫🔤🧮🧸🌳 @invisible_ta]

@WhatTheADHD I’m doing this, except I have two bags that have been in the boot for only 5 months so far….maybe tomorrow…

[Invisible TA 👩‍🏫🏫🔤🧮🧸🌳 @invisible_ta]

@profprofMFL @Headteacherchat Better than making 10 TAs redundant!

[Invisible TA 👩‍🏫🏫🔤🧮🧸🌳 @invisible_ta]

@Julespg Happened in my school too. Plus other staff were drafted in on their days off too.
