Protect our teachers from serious assaults and abuse. Today’s incident is only one in the almost daily unreported. We need to get tougher on the messaging - no more ‘zero exclusions’, no more excusing young ppl who commit serious assault, no more punishing schools who want to take proper action.
Teachers can’t teach properly if they are at risk and unsafe every day.
I will always support the union by going on strike, but in my opinion, teacher strikes need to be unpredictable, rolling and prolonged - not in bits and pieces.
It’s a big ask ofc, but it could change the face of the education system forever.

I heard an account
on radio
of the situation in Sudan,
described as war lords
whose only purpose
in being in power
is to enrich themselves.
Thank goodness
we in the West
don't live in societies
run like that.
How can teachers realistically support "the whole child" when we don't have enough funding for social workers, psychologists, special education teachers, and related service providers in our schools?
Suella Braverman has claimed £25k for energy bills for a house she doesn't use.
Meanwhile an 87 year old woman, who worked until 82, has died from hyperthermia in her home because she was worried about the cost of heating.
It makes me sad when children have large chunks of their education frittered away by the disruptive behaviour of one or two of their classmates. They only get one go at school.
Recent reviews suggest the secondary curriculum is not preparing our young people effectively for the jobs of tomorrow. Change is necessary.
There is so much agreement that the system isn’t working for young people and needs reform.

Whatever gasp you take when you hear doctors are asking for a 26% pay rise, keep that same gasp when you realise that’s what this govt have taken away from them since they came to power!
One quarter less pay.
Now ask, why is there a staffing crisis?
Hannah from Yeovil called LBC and read aloud part of Suella Braverman’s “invasion” speech from Hansard. The word “migrant” was removed, and the word “Jew” substituted. As Hannah says, I defy you to say the language is not similar to 1930s Germany. #GaryLineker
Be clear, this is not about the BBC.
The same way privatisation of the NHS is not about the NHS.
This is about a corrupt, greedy and amoral Tory govt infiltrating and destroying public services.
BBC and the NHS were the envy of the free world, until Tory’s corrupted them.
We’re all in this together!
Parents, patients, doctors, teachers – standing up for our services on Budget Day – 15 March.
If ministers want to stop our strikes, they need sit down and negotiate with us.
Get strike ready here.👉 https://t.co/J9Wka2oF2b

Gary Lineker shouldn't have to speak out for human rights
Marcus Rashford shouldn't have to feed school children
A war hero shouldn't have to walk for PPE
The common issue here is the Tory Government we have had to endure for 13 years

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I wanted to share the work of three talented artists – Esther, Melarie, Rachel – who shared the art they made after reading #TheLightWeCarry. I love these!
@KKNTeachLearn I left after 28 years.
I loved my job. I used to say, "I can't believe they pay me for this!"
Then it became something I didn't recognize.
you can't pay me enough
