@RogersHistory It's the claim that we 'need' to do more.
Like I'm already having to teach them 6 times a day. I'm doing as much as I can, sometimes the problem isn't me (the teacher).
@ShakinthatChalk The thing is, I can afford to do that for him, although we have had to reduce lessons from weekly to fortnightly in months when money has been tough. I’ve also had to say no to other opportunities that would have been amazing for him to experience. There is a huge problem…
@ShakinthatChalk And how many schools recognise that potential in their pupils too, but can’t nurture it because of lack of budgets, staffing or resources?
This super myth buster from Steplab about evidence-informed approaches to SEN/ additional needs provision. Summary: lots of things we sometimes think are useful, have no evidence to back them up, or weak evidence. In some cases they may even harm. Fidget spinners, Zones of Regulation, Mindfulness…just because we want something to work doesn’t mean that it does.
@PrimarySophie Do you not negotiate the best date available? I would always advise not to go for the last week of window, in case there is a need for more evidence, but I never ever gave specific dates!
@LeeBraganza I’m so sorry for you all. It’s so awful, especially for your children but also you!
I kept my cats ‘outside’ cats, because they hated being inside. Unfortunately for us owners, cats do whatever they want and show their displeasure if they disagree.
He lived a great life!
On this day 41 years ago, 54 Bradford City supporters and two Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never returned home.
We will never forget those who sadly lost their lives, and as always, our thoughts are with their families and the hundreds still affected by the disaster to this day.
Always in our hearts. 🎗️

@QcWynter Seriously? You’re bothered by a 2-3 minute stoppage to break fast so this is to be celebrated? I’m guessing you’ve criticised every player who tactically falls to waste time then, and never experienced fasting yourself…
