Dear #edutwitter I have four more days to go at school but you should shout it from the rooftops if today is the first day of your holidays. You deserve it!

@ch_teaches @FunkyPedagogy @Xris32 @SPryke2 (Endless thanks to @OCR_English for reliably producing such brilliant Lit papers.)

@ch_teaches @FunkyPedagogy @Xris32 @SPryke2 Forget overt meeting mark scheme criteria and work on what they really think about the texts/topic and how to express that with critics and context to support. Lots of talk and not writing a whole essay too soon. This year, my students excitedly told me they enjoyed their exam!

If your job requires an appreciation day it probably means you’re not getting paid enough.

Anyway, happy national #ThankATeacherDay 🤗

@Xris32 Fantastic book.

@reformexposed @andreajenkyns There is NOTHING she could do to stop the people of Lincolnshire voting her in. That's the sad truth.

@jon_severs @jasminenorden Did no one ask Eduqas?

@cheuph @SydesJokes @TonyROX845 OP is British and this is the British dating system. (All dates shown this way to us regardless of whether the original tweet is American or otherwise.)

@govt_corrupt Best known for lasting less time than a lettuce.

@Sandford_Police Annex Gaza and build a hotel? Not a crime apparently.

@Herring1967 Just looking at that solero makes me shiver.

@MrBruffEnglish My daughter worked for a couple of years in a hotel frequented by old money. She noted that they never said thank you but "well done". I always tell my classes this to explore the nature of the class relationship reflected by Mrs B there.

@therosser The reason home nations want "anyone but England" to win is partly because of this kind of complacency in the past. I hope Ireland fans are better than this.

@Rory_Gribbell @Ofstednews @Moreincommon_ Please just have one-side of A4 in full sentences that describes the setting's strengths and weaknesses with some sense of nuance. This traffic light system will see school leaders having mental health crises over a colour grading.

@thebookseller @philipdsjones I will miss their stationery ranges especially now there's no Paperchase but I haven't bought a book from WHS (outside of an airport) for as long as I can remember.

[Mr P MBE @ICT_MrP]

Incoming rant about Ofsted announcement of their report cards which they think are going to improve things when it’ll be just more of the same.

@sugaryclouds41 @nellodee Nah. We've copied you in the UK and have private corporations running all sorts of stuff for which the state pays. Our nation is collapsing under the weight of the profits they make.

[Ness 💙💛🇺🇦 @nesswaters]

@menwritewomen "Like most of us", "horrible stories", "missteps". That is one mealy-mouthed little shite right there.

When Mick Lynch isn't busy standing up for the working-class, he's embarrassing Tories and journos.

Have a peaceful retirement king x
