Languages are not just another subject in school. Languages are about relationships, understanding and communication. They're about discovering a world beyond your own. They're full-on experiences you wouldn't enjoy otherwise. Languages take every one of us to another level.
@AP_Teaching @Strickomaster It’s only going to be compulsory to offer the 3 sciences not for students to actually have to do single sciences I believe .
Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.
Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.
What, Michelle?
For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?
For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?
For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?
For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?
I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.
Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.
How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?
You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.
Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.
@LibbySquires96 I’m at that stage of the term where patience is thin so my standard response is ‘no , I went to teacher training college not clown school ‘ 🤡🤣
@Janroweljmu@misterjgarcia I was about to comment I think the North West was a pioneer in this respect . I learnt Spanish as well as French in secondary school there in 1991! 🇫🇷 🇪🇸
@VEverettmfl@Janroweljmu This is an excellent article and for one exam board at least the card task on the speaking test is worth more percentage wise than an essay on the literature paper . Something needs to change .
@sarajcox Peter Andre did a concert in my school in the mid 90s -it was a strict , all girls’ school . He was up and coming then and trying to promote himself . He took his shirt off mid song . Sister Helen (Headteacher) marched to the front and told him to put it back on. He did!
Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.
I like to remember this every Jan 27th.
This is my son Max, we lost Max in a tragic car accident on the 11th December 2024. A life long Liverpool fan, can anyone please share and see if we can get 1 minutes applause at the next home game versus Man Utd in the 17th minute
