I’m in A&E (not for me).

There is teacher in front of me asking for pain relief as she waits.

How do I know she’s a teacher? She’s planning lessons and prepping work while she sits in what seems like a lot of pain waiting to be seen.

That’s why we have retention issues.

Good fun to see Scott Morrison seeing how many Taylor Swift song/album titles he can get into his farewell speech.

When I was Alan Johnson's speechwriter, we always tried to squeeze in Beatles references whenever we could...

Could we have some free books instead? They'd be more useful.

Today @RishiSunak said a general election is "not what the country wants".

Do you want a general election now?

Please retweet to get this to a wider audience.

I am banning Wasps, Bees, Snow, flatulence and the wild Peacock that keeps appearing as they are all forms of classroom distraction that have caused way more bother than mobile phones in our school.

Four weeks into term and the primary curriculum feels more packed than ever. Something's got to give somewhere, but it's definitely not going to be independent reading time or class story time.

#Eurostar total chaos in Paris Gare du Nord. 2 hours delay (at least?) Announced on Paris-London. Hardly any info given to hundreds of would be passengers stuck over 2 levels. Dzen of water bottles distributed but appaling communication. A disgrace!

Isn't it time for the government to listen to the teachers & invest in education? As a children's author, I've been visiting schools for 20 years, and I can tell you the underfunding crisis is real. This government is failing a whole generation, horribly.

So many teachers tweeted about writing reports over half term.

It’s bad enough that schools are still writing such lengthy end of year reports but not giving them any time out of class to do them and expecting them to use holidays, evenings and weekends is just disgraceful.

[Geoff and Margaret @RetirementTales]

The teacher retention problem?

Experienced teachers should be an asset.

But somewhere along the way, the semantics changed. Experienced teachers instead became commonly referred to as "UPS" teachers.

The focus shifted from the value of experience to the cost of experience.

REPORTS

Loads of discussion about report writing -
In my last school we just had a QR code to a short video of the teacher talking about the child-

Minimal time

Great for parents who struggle to read

Positive feedback from parents who said it was so personal

But those unions are the same as teachers, not separate!

[Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP @GavinWilliamson]

1/3 - Further to reports in the Telegraph and other outlets, I wish to clarify that these messages were about some Unions and not teachers.

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

Equally we didn’t have cheese and wine, we didn’t have staff gatherings, staff were socially isolated from other staff in school. Classes were in bubbles, no lunch breaks, children served dinner in class. Every rule followed unlike many of the people in our government.
