@IramiOF This is 100% right and a message I try to instil in my trainees and ECTs every year.

@GCSE_Macbeth What about Trash by Andy Mulligan? I’m big on the power that English has to grow our students into good people as well as literacy, analysis, reading & writing skills etc. This is our Y7 opener.

[Ar Frost @RWF86]

@AnansiRyans @GCSE_Macbeth I think this is a brilliant choice. The plot is exciting and the characters are engaging. At the bottom end it’s a fable about some animals students can connect with but at the top end there’s all the contextual links to the Russian revolution to explore.

@RebCallaghan_ I work in edu; waited so long for an end to austerity. Situation worse now - partially as we’re being pushed into unregulated Trusts leeching from the front lines. I want Starmer to be the right man, would concede that repair is gradual but he doesn’t give any hope more is coming

@GCSE_Macbeth The minister of ‘Yolo!’ will have to step down first just like the minister of ‘wassaaaaaaup!’ had to retire when his time was up.

@MissShakesparke @TeacherBusy @GCSE_Macbeth @TraceJane @SPryke2 @Bruff I taught the jekyll transformation scene to my top tens last week. Still get goosebumps, even though the ending always gets spoilt but the drama of “oh god” and “oh god” I screamed again and again… brilliant.

[Ar Frost @RWF86]

@TeacherBusy @GCSE_Macbeth @TraceJane @SPryke2 @Bruff Thank you both. I think our complaints are all ‘the grass is greener’ based and I don’t want to rewrite a big chunk of our curriculum based on that.

[Ar Frost @RWF86]

@GCSE_Macbeth @TeacherBusy @TraceJane @SPryke2 @Bruff Can I ask you both why? What’s wrong with Christmas Carol and better about Jekyll? Only because my staff are arguing to move from Jekyll to Christmas Carol! Thanks

@TeachLeadAAli My dept would’ve sunk this year without an AHT with flexibilty jumping in to cover SEVEN separate exam classes.

@missm_teachess Yep

@englishspecial Does this have a negative impact on the children and their primary school journey or is it more a problem for the school and their stats?
