Ex-history teacher finding my way outside of the classroom. Loves all things history, netball and her 2 boys.

@ginamartinuk In the UK most people including the government seemed to think that everything can be solved by showing it/teaching it in schools. Something like this needs to be watched at home, with parents. Isn't this the point of the program?

@branwenjeffreys @bphillipsonMP This is not the case at all!! These super MATs give the power to few, whilst removing autonomy from the teachers that work in them. Disgusted that she would put any value in standards driven by these groups!

@Marathon_Mcr please could you let me know the best way to contact you about an issue with my entry. I have entered as a team and the team leader says that my entry is not complete, however according to the website it is.

Looking to connect with history teachers that deliver the AQA Health and the People course thematically instead of chronologically. Would be super helpful to have a look at your approach and hear how you've found it! Please retweet!

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@missjredwards That is one of the main reasons I made the tough decision to leave the classroom. The old lie that it gets easier with children as they get older, just isn't true and I couldn't give them what they and I needed whilst teaching.

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@jac_wac @RogersHistory Absolutely agree

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@jac_wac @RogersHistory Oh yes. I don't know why people are so against this as a principle. Why do we think that one class = one teacher?

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@RogersHistory Completely agree about the funding. That would have to be a decision made by the government but I don't see it as an impossible thought in the future

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@RogersHistory It can be done in teaching it will just take a lot of thought. Ideas: Staffing numbers might have to change; teachers might have to teach in teams, with split classes; schools still open five days, with each teachers being out on particular days depending on teaching team

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

@apf102 We should be looking at making family holidays more affordable and working with the holiday companies, in the UK and abroad.

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@apf102 Why punish parents for wanting to save a bit of money. You always know when it is school holidays as prices sky rocket. Also for some people they simply cannot get leave during school holidays. What do they do? DFE needs to work with families not against them!

@AvantiWestCoast @crossCountryTr I have and you refused to pay it as apparently the service was not delayed. I have challenged this and now you are claiming it was a cross country train! I complained to them and they said it was your train 😩😩

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

Trains to get home due to further issues. Both of you are saying that the other ran the service. Could you please decide who needs to apologise and refund me for a journey that took 1hr 20 minutes longer and made me miss my son's school presentation evening

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@avantiuk @crosscountryuk took a train journey to London ,2nd July that involved using both of your services. I had to change at Stafford station to get back to Macclesfield. Unfortunately the train was diverted due to people on the line. I then had to take two further

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

Applying to the wrong company. The ticket cost £364, I missed an important event and was further exhausted by the excessive travel. Can one of you please make your minds up about who would apologise and refund me. Thank you

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

Trains to get back home. This resulted in me getting home at 8pm rather than 6.40pm and missing my son's school presentation evening. I have applied for delay repay but each of your companies are telling me either that the train carried on the journey as usual or that I am

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@bennewmark A top set will tend to achieve whom ever delivers their lessons, whereas a bottom set can only thrive with a real expert in the room! The best teachers should have the bottom sets, the least damage can be done at the top! I never worked in a school that accepted this view sadly.

[missdidteachhistory @MissteachesH]

@StarlightMcKenz @miss_mcinerney Perhaps, but a support network is certainly needed if things are to progress
