4 and 5 year olds arriving at school in nappies would not have happened 5 to 10 years ago.... Why?
Because basic #Parenting has bizarrely vanished.
Toilet training, eating at a table, cleaning teeth, making a bed, tying shoe laces, crossing a road, reading, writing.... These things are boring and can be torture to teach to toddlers who scream if you take away the ipad.
And for parents it's much easier to sit scrolling, addicted to screens, unaware that hours have passed.
We've got a generation of lazy, tech-zombies waiting for a teacher to be a proxy parent.
As lonely as it feels when you’re struggling with your Mental Health please know you’re not alone. Today is World Mental Health Day, but every day we should talk about our mental health.
#WorldMentalHealthDay#MentalHealth@allontheboard
125 people die by suicide every week in the UK. 18 people per day. One person every 90 minutes.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Ahead of #WorldMentalHealthDay, check in on those around you ❤️
If you tell a woman you like her dress it’s highly likely you’ll get at least one of these responses:
(If it has pockets)
“Thanks. It has pockets!” [shows you the pockets]
“Only a fiver! Bargain!”
“This old thing. It’s not nice. I look like a potato. I’m going to burn it.”

Things I couldn’t do without a TA.
1) Interventions.
2) Support for children who need it in a class of 31.
3) Going to the toilet.
4) Having a friend in class.
5) A warm cup of tea when I come back from break duty.
6) Navigating drama so I can teach.
TAs rock 🤘
Things teachers want to say to parents…
-Take the phone away at night. Your kid isn’t getting enough sleep.
-Don’t believe everything your kid says. They lie…A LOT!
-Teach your kid to have some grit. Also teach them to be nice!
-Stop blaming everyone for your kid’s issues.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced. (1/4)
Schools - protect teachers from unreasonable and angry parents who want to take out every life problem they have on unsuspecting class teachers who have done nothing but teach their child and hold high expectations. Society - fully support schools in this endeavor.
