Always juggling, not always getting the balance right. work to live not live to work.

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@RetirementTales So pleased you made the right decision to come back!

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@ITimbrell The old bicycle shop on Regent st - great food there. Or go along bridge street/Magdalene street/ quayside - there’s some nice pubs and places to eat there And just wander through the centre and down kings parade if you want to be a proper tourist!

@AssessmentClare @lutoncouncil Hope your first day was fab! X

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@aegilopoides I’m sure we can use this!

[Dr. Anthony Hoyle @HoyleDoc]

Love it when a pupil uses one of my (unconventional) mnemonics to ace an exam question! 🙈🤣 Make them laugh = make them remember! #edutwitter #ukedchat #teachertwitter #evolution #Darwin

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@HoyleDoc Stealing this too! Thank you 😃

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@englishspecial The food you’re eating. All of it. He’s a lab isn’t he. He’s hungry and needs food. Or a walk. Or play safe and do both!

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@parkrunUK Me! 👍👍 went to wimpole. First one in years and only my fifth ever. Loved it! Took me ages but it’s spurred me on to get back to running more, and I’ll definitely go to wimpole again! Thanks to parkrun and the volunteers.

And this - disgusting tactics by the gov.

[LaraM @lara2of4]

This offer is insulting. Teachers and education deserve much much better. Our students deserve better. The government just don’t care at all. Raging.

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

All eligible members in England will receive an email and text tonight about a pay offer from Government.

We don’t think it’s good enough and are recommending members vote to reject it.

Vote here.👉 https://t.co/J9Wka2oF2b

An utterly heartbreaking news story.

A life lost.

School leaders work and live under inordinate levels of pressure and expectation.

Everybody wants schools to be as good as possible but the inspection process and culture don't need to be like this.

@brassoteach I had a y11 start singing shaggys ‘it wasn’t me’ yesterday when I was questioning a group about who had done something annoying… lots joined in immediately and I couldn’t help but smile and laugh with them - game over! 😂

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

I said that actions speak louder than words. I was wrong.

These words mean more than any uttered before. They show the unfiltered view of the profession you claimed to support. Part of me wanted to believe you did admire teachers, but that was never true was it?

It hurts, ‘Sir’

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@DeputyGrocott Oh I know!! Best gingerbread out there. Divine. Enjoy!

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@miss_mcinerney @TeacherTapp This thread is lovely. The smallest things often mean the most. Heartwarming and uplifting. Thank you for sharing it!

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@RetirementTales So many hours spent drawing round these, cutting out and double mounting!

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

To every non-teacher that has tweeted support for striking teachers…thank you.

You don’t know how much it means.

[HeadteacherChat @Headteacherchat]

@theAliceRoberts @HanCritchlow @gcsesciencelive @daraobriain Brought 60 of our students to hear you today - really interesting! Thank you and thank you to the other speakers too!

[LaraM @lara2of4]

@thosethatcan @NEUnion Totally agree. Very well put - thank you. I’m also a proud longtime @NEUnion member and school rep. This is a big decision but a necessary one. 💪
