I am deeply uninterested in opinions about teaching or schools if those opinions are coming from someone who is not a teacher in a school.

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

No system functions perfectly for everyone, but forgive me for thinking it’s more reasonable to ask parents to take a few hours off work for Their Literal Children than to ask workers to give up 7 entire evenings for more work. That’s your kid! Yours! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[LamNam 🔱 Investor @_LamNam_]

Parent/teacher meetings used to be at the school in the evening. 1-2 hours of your free time, no big deal.

Now they happen during the day, you have to take time out of work for them.

Also the school closes 2 hours early for an entire week, to facilitate them, so you need extra childcare arrangements too.

Why does everything about parenting have to be harder for our generation?

📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists.

Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data.

Since 2016:

🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters.
🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European.
🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin.

His estimate of how Britain would vote now:

🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37%

A majority of almost 9 million.

Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade.

But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever.

The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.

I had to read that word aloud twice to Y7 last week. Internal panic. Ended up pronouncing it differently each time.

[Susannah Black Roberts @suzania]

Well all right; as an American wife of an English husband I’ve just learned what the British think the pronunciation of “skeletal” is and I’m not ok about it.

Breaking my brain by looking through the responses and realizing people don't realize the joke is on Ackroyd's misogynistic character. When confronted by a confident woman who knows what she's talking about, he is reduced to a petulant, one-line temper tantrum.

Mandatory reading for everyone outside the classroom. Gone are the days of the teacher marking while you do silent work. We're fighting for our lives here!

I think the woman shot in the head by the Taliban as a teen fighting for her right for an education can have a f-king pot of Earl Grey and promote a charitable initiative with the Duchess of Sussex

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

I just don’t think any Brit has the right to complain about the North American use of ‘fall’ for ‘autumn’ while they’re in the ‘lift’ to their ‘flat’.

When you decide to take the elevator back down from your apartment, we can have a grown-up conversation.

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

I once worked with someone from Trinidad who called me ‘Reeeee’ and it was the best thing ever.

Names matter and deliberate disrespect is a problem. But as long as people are being genuine and making an effort, chill.

[James @jhallwood]

Almost everyone's name gets pronounced somewhat differently even based on accent alone.

For example, I find my Northern Irish friends calling me Jee-yems endearing, not offensive. In Ghana I was Jehms, in the States I am Jay-ems, in France I am Jemz etc etc.

[Rae @ragefighthouse]

I’ve been on the other side. As HoY, I’d pull kids out of lessons all the time. Because I had to. Sorry.

But I really would try to avoid the ‘harder to settle’ classes bc I knew from teaching experience that it was exceptionally disruptive & often impossible to come back from.

[Teachers Talk Radio @TTRadioOfficial]

"Are lesson interruptions out of control in your school?"

Tony and Yannick discuss the number of lesson interupttions they can get and argue that some have no concept of the disruption these can cause, what do you think? 👇

“Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy is calling out Shane Gillis' #SNL monologue.

"I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it’s complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it’s a ‘conversation’ as opposed to a ‘crime.'" https://t.co/HmSE7SLEn5

have you at any point considered that women are tired of being called "whores" for existing in public

You have to apologise for swearing at midnight on the telly in the country that's going to livestream an execution.

One can hope. I’m trying.

Actually, it’s not! Those people are just pathetic and probably stupid lmao

[Sohrab Ahmari 🇺🇸 @SohrabAhmari]

I wrote an essay for UnHerd that explains part of the current backlash against immigration as a result of what I call "diversity stress": the constant low-grade anxiety associated with having to navigate the unfamiliar.

That's a legitimate grievance!
