In memory of those who chose the sea.. —The "Igbo Landing" story —
In an act of mass resistance against slavery, a group of slaves revolted, took control of the slave ship grounded it on an island & rather than submit to slavery, proceeded to march into water & drown.
THREAD!
@parcelforce 2 urgent parcels sent yesterday to one address on 24hrs delivery service are sitting at your Liverpool Depot undelivered and they are not answering their phone. This is very concerning. Could Parcelforce explain what is going on!
@LidlGB "Store manager" and security guard were angered by the pregnant woman and myself gaining access to the store, by using the exit doors. These staff members were extremely disrespectful and rude. Please address this issue. 2/2
@LidlGB I am deeply disappointed by the poor service received at your Freezywater store on 21/05/21. Store entry doors were locked at 9.50pm (before closing time) - preventing customers' access, including a pregnant woman. 1/2
@EnfieldCouncil Dispatching a 26 ton refuse truck to collect 1 small refuse bag and leaving 9 missed bins behind is a waste of money and damages the environment. Can you please arrange for the outstanding bin collection to be carried out urgently. Thanks. 2/2
@EnfieldCouncil Could you please explain why a 26 ton refuse truck (registration number VU61HRN) was dispatched on 20/04/21 to collect 1 small refuse bag - when the missed bin collection report that was made on 15/04/21, concerned all 9 houses on my street? Unacceptable. 1/2
Happy Birthday to legendary Rosa Parks. She showed us that ANYONE can speak truth to power with silent resistance. Sometimes those who say nothing speak the loudest! Her strength of sacrifice will forever drive us forward in our fight against injustice! ✊🏾 #BlackHistoryMonth
#WorldMentalHealthDay seems even more relevant during #Covid-19, and researchers in @OxPsychiatry & other departments are part of the worldwide effort to provide resources and advice to those who need it, from parents to the NHS. Find out more: https://t.co/oB258BoG9D
On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, we must affirm mental health care as the human right that it is. Everyone deserves access to the care they need to stay healthy and well physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Yes Pembroke! Going above & beyond the new legal requirement following the govt's #UTurn and recognising that CAGs (although less discriminatory in overall impact) are still unreliable guides to an individual's potential when compared to Oxford's own assessments #HonourTheOffer
An account from a devastated teacher, racked by profound guilt
CAGs aren't just useless guides to a student's ability, too often they're bullshit
So pleased ½ Oxford undergrad colleges will #HonourTheOffer. Angry for all the many students still affected

@rm_lloyd @HKTweetie @englishmrdavis The issue with CAGs is :
1. they are derived using rank order
2. School HAVE to adhere to ofqual guidelines stipulate following historical data
3. This limits grade allocation - sometime against the teachers professional judgement as only a certain % of students can get that A❗️
