Reform Statutory Maternity Pay and SPL eligibility for teachers moving schools - https://t.co/thDnkBYBrZ via @UKChange

Please sign petition and share.
A big change is needed to bridge the gap for women who move schools but find out that they won’t be eligible for maternity pay.

Seeing Zionists react to the NYT story about Palestinian children being shot in the head by Israeli forces has been both fascinating & maddening.

They have 3 general responses: jubilant celebration, outright denial, or “it’s just a couple bad apples.”

https://t.co/hPdqd9pa4B

It covers the majority of the national curriculum & contains core notes, lots of independent practice and *answers*.

Please consider sharing/retweeting.

[Peter Edmunds 🦄 @edmunds_dr]

KS3 Chemistry workbook - nearly there.

I've not tweeted about this, but if you go to https://t.co/mTjcrWxok6 there is a *lot* of new stuff uploaded. Like 5 new booklets, loads of worksheets.

What's in green is done, what's in red isn't. Can you tell what I don't like writing?

[Lindsay Patience @Mumsyme]

Are you a part-time TLR holder doing the whole responsibility for partial pay?

*Is that unfair?* YES

*Why is it happening?* STPCD wording in England says TLR1 & 2 have to be paid pro rata to part-time staff (in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 it now says MAY be pro rata)

*What can you do about it?*

Absolutely bonkers that these twins who require walkers cannot get a blue badge for parking to support their mum. Such a simple way of helping that the council are denying her.

@Ruby_RubidiumRb @mtptproject I was forced out of my career for this very reason. School’s need to get with the times and introduce flexible working. It’s the ONLY thing that would lure me back.

In other news, I knew that prices were skyrocketing but £1.22 for ONE SINGLE KINDER EGG?!

[Ruby @Ruby_RubidiumRb]

Absolutely!
When you hear of people in other sectors have the time to drop off and collect their children, without having to go through the gruelling process of trying to convince your school that this is something that adds value to your life, is a huge problem.

Providing greater flexibility for teaching staff at the beginning and end of the school day could help with childcare issues, says @mtptproject founder Emma Sheppard
