@educationgovuk How you can so brazenly and without shame take credit for the hard work of those in the education sector never fails to amaze me. You have systematically demoralised, demonised and disenfranchised schools and colleges and those who work there. Just sit there quietly and shut up!
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Dude. Just read some of your previous tweets. You literally just whine, critise and moan. Bless you. Thought it was a genuine exchange of pov. Be well and hug a teacher. No chance they'll have covid. #NHSheroes#TeacherStrong
@nedofthehills @MrsAGeo @10DowningStreet You're missing the point. You don't need to pull others down to push health workers up. You want them praised for entering a work place with a greater than normal level of danger. Go into a classroom, step on a bus, https://t.co/L0taBMy3eu. All are working with more danger.
@nedofthehills @MrsAGeo @10DowningStreet I have a class of young adults with no ppe, no breaks and until fairly recently no testing. Kids might not get sick. Great. But they sure as he'll can infect others. There are plenty equally deserving of praise. You think nurses. Good for you. Bet they had some good teachers.
@nedofthehills @MrsAGeo @10DowningStreet True enough. Can't fault that. But remember that teachers and other professions have been working and though I don't disagree that nurses have been in the thick of it, they have had the nation's thanks constantly and the benefit of testing and ppe.
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Not sure what you're astounded by but thank you. Funny how when when someone's argument is rationally picked apart, they resort to terms like 'egotistical'. Bless you for not having anything else pertinent to say. Again, keep supporting the public sector, no matter who they are.
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet What? Seems a strange, vaguely threatening response. Sorry to have reduced you to this. All the best then. Keeping supporting the NHS and education my friend. Both sectors need a champion like you
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Calmness is required. So true. As is consideration and awareness before making misinformed statements. Supporting the NHS doesn't need to come at the expense of supporting education. You can do both. Give it a try bud
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Also, didn't say all teachers returned. Said all the ones I know of did. Also, you said teacher were refusing to work. No. They weren't. So your insinuation is laziness. Don't lecture me on thought for others. Trying showing thought for the teachers and school staff.
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Your argument is to prioritise one hard working profession over another based on a misconception of the amount of work the teaching profession has done over the last few months. Nurses and carers have been working as have teachers. Simple. Some from home.
@JoanneMcGarry14 @Travelbairn @educationgovuk Your local school. That's not right. But maybe that is your experience. Not all. Teaching is tough and most of the work we do goes unseen and unacknowledged. Probably a bit like nursing. Hmm.
@JoanneMcGarry14 @Travelbairn @educationgovuk We've had it easier??? You seem to think teaching is a breeze and better paid so come on board. Join the education sector and be part of the solution not just stand, throwing misinformed slurs. You sound like you've worked incredibly hard and maybe haven't had the support from
@JoanneMcGarry14 @educationgovuk Teachers don't make pay decisions. Have no power to force this and yet you label them receiving the first pay rise in 7 years disgusting? Where's the love? There's been nothing but support for the NHS workers, that's spread that out to all.
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Sorry pal. He'll if a lot of kids were in schools for there to have beem no teachers. Some teachers didn't return. Absolutely. To presume this was out of laziness, is just ignorant. They were protectimg their health and that of their loved ones. Think before regurgitating lies.
@nedofthehills@clumsy1974@10DowningStreet If the criteria is working through lockdown, the nurses amd carers should definitely get a pay rise. As should teachers, delivery drivers, bin men etc... Great, pay rises all round. Should nurses get a pay rise first? Yep. They got their larger pay rise 2 years ago. So...First.
@nedofthehills@10DowningStreet Not sure of a single teacher who refused to work. Not one. Try not to make assumptions from Daily Mail headlines. Not a sound basis for fact.
This is horrific however does the BBC really need to caption 'who is black' after a photo of the incident related to the victim. We know this and don't need the BBC to tell us the blinding obvious.
