Not sure why The Smiths are trending...

@haylez10 As a TA,who has training and experience in delivering speech + language interventions,and ensuring that speech + language needs are met throughout the day(under the guidance of a speech and language therapist) I hope there is some consideration put into paying TA's a fair wage
@ICT_MrP And can we ban people saying, 'why not train to be a teacher then' to TAs who want their job to be respected, valued and reasonably paid as a valuable job in and if itself!
@bphillipsonMP - Properly fund SEND within schools
- Respect the role of TAs within schools for the vital support they provide by paying them properly
- Ensure the curriculum and learning environment suits the lives and needs of today's children
- Provide teachers with proper planning time
@BradfemlyWalsh It's not daft to listen to a drs advice.
I was told to take paracematol when I had a fever in my 1st pregnancy... and I believe the advice has always been 'lowest dose for shortest time'
My eldest is 19.
@BertDalziel When meeting any baby, my mum would always say, 'what a lovely shaped head'. Every. Time...
..the baby could have a head shaped like an overbaked jacket potato, but my mum would wax lyrical about its magnificent shape.
@BradfemlyWalsh About a year ago, I was wearing a Pixies t-shirt and a middle aged man came up to me in a record shop and said, 'er... can you name what song those lyrics come from??'
I said, 'song? I just like cats'
Patronising tit.
@ShakinthatChalk 4/ ... whilst also performing a million other tasks to ensure the smooth running of a school and supporting the wellbeing of children with a multitude of needs and challenges.
@ShakinthatChalk 2/ The pay is pitiful and many TAs also work on temporary contracts or contracts linked to individual children meaning they have little job security and may have to annually re-apply for their jobs
@ShakinthatChalk 3/ They are a vital part of a modern inclusive education system, providing 1-1 support and adaptations for individual children, small group interventions and whole class cover...
@BlackbeardsBell@David__Osland She is school support staff working 14 hours a week... yet earning £12,500 a year?
That's an optimistic support staff wage!
@MoreMorrow And after years of disinterest and disdain regarding SEND provision... the use of children needing such provision being used as a shield, is particularly nauseating.
