@DrNeenaJha The Tories have orchestrated it so that the NHS will fail. We will become angry. They will dismantle the service in pieces, promising to make it better, but in reality they will make doctors only readily accessible to the wealthy. The gap between rich and poor ever wider.

@DrNeenaJha A friend of mine has just found out she has metastatic breast cancer. It’s in her liver, her bones. She’s a single mum to a 7 year old with no living relatives. She was turned away multiple times before finally being admitted almost a year later. Now there’s no time left.

@RobertMorrisse3 But if it’s from people outside Education, including government, LA and Ofsted… 100% agree. Walk a mile before casting judgements. It very much feels right now that we’re the ones in the thick of the pandemic and that’s a huge weight to bear.

@RobertMorrisse3 Depends who the tweets are from. If they’re from the people the leaders are managing, perhaps there needs to be a space for discussion. Because what I’m seeing is teachers burning out and handing in resignations without even broaching the topic with SLT first.

Really important that heads tell staff not to send any work related emails during half term unless absolutely urgent. Taking staff wellbeing and mental health seriously means more than a cupcake.

@BitLifeApp No hint at this weeks challenge on Snap? Bit rude.

@RDayysj Massive push for the fire and rehire method of saving money in schools. Was always going to happen when they started making schools businesses with academies etc. It’s incredibly sad as I know so many older teachers who were pushed out through very mentally damaging methods.

@Headteacherchat Tell one of the office staff.

I’m joking, I’m joking… not entirely without truth though 😬

@MsJoBillington Now that he’s moved to a school with less demands on the funding, the school have done so much for him in the short time he’s been there - we’re finally getting a referral, he has emotional support sessions, adjustments in class - and it’s all because he has access to funding now

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@MsJoBillington In a way, yes. I had to move my son from an oversubscribed urban school to a small village school in order for him to have any kind of access to support, as in his last school there so many more children with greater needs, or at least they didn’t mask as well as my son does 1/2

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@HelanaDarwin I have. It was absolutely the right decision for my mental and physical health, but it has made me less employable now and I have to suck it up and take a few steps back, career wise.

@DrewLawDesign I am the Patron Saint of Tea and I can absolutely roll with that.

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@juliehelm9 @DrewLawDesign I don’t know why this made me chuckle so much 😂😂😂😂

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@lmeducational Yes. I think everyone does.

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@adamboxer1 At least we all conclusively seem to agree that whatever it is, it ISN’T what Ofsted is looking for 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Teacher of the Wild 🌳🐚🍂🪵🌻🐾 @phoenixrose314]

@2Jellybean40 @autcareandshare I’m so sorry, that sounds so difficult for you both. My son is only eight and I already see that internalised self-hatred just for being different. Bullies and inflexible schooling have a lot to answer for. Give him all the love you can in all the ways he allows. Xx

@Ms__TeacherLady Sorry to hear that. Fellow endo sufferer here. There are ways of coping, and I was blessed to have two beautiful boys so there is hope in that department. I recommend the coil, it stopped my periods almost completely, just had it removed and I’m on my knees in agony again 😖
