Parents, if your child goes on a residential between now and the end of the year, go and give the teachers a quick thank you when you pick your child up.
You’d be amazed how little it happens, and it means a huge amount.
As I keep getting asked:
This is the petition you need to sign urgently - Julia Waters has just asked if we could get more to please sign. Retweet, send to all social media sites, whatever you can! Thank you!

This isnt an offer from Government it is an insult.
£1000 non-consolidated.
4.5% in September
AND UNFUNDED!
I will be voting to REJECT. No more pay cuts!
A teacher in 6th year:
🏴 £48.5k (from Jan)
🏴 £44K (from Sept)
🏴 £39K
Vote no! Full funding and parity is what we need
@santanderukhelp I’d rather not release my bank details and money enquires online. It would just be helpful to have a contact number to directly speak to a person.
@OfficialPLT I ordered next day delivery last Wednesday and STILL haven’t received it. This is also my second tweet to you and I have messaged. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
@TeacherTapp And so it's a reminder, amid the bleak end of winter, that life isn't perfect in schools, but it makes a big difference when you say thanks, help people in need & drop a biscuit (or a diet Coke!) in to someone having a bad day.
@miss_mcinerney@TeacherTapp Reminds me of a child in my class who thanks me at the end of every school day ☺️ they also make sure they tell me to have a good evening too! So polite ☺️
Remember, if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
These are also the same people who would like me to censor my views and opinions but feel it is okay for them to express theirs, no matter how unreasonable they are, and expect me to listen (again, without giving an opinion in return).
People drive me absolutely bonkers when they ask me to be honest and call them out on things they do that hurt me because when I do, they shut me down abruptly as they don’t like (or don’t want to hear) what I’m saying.
Mainly because they are the same people who are usually rude when they think they’re being honest and feel like they can point out all your flaws without consequence or remorse.
