Sending the first 300 migrants to Rwanda costs £1.8m each. To put that in context, school funding is around £7,600 per child per year. So the cost of sending one migrant to Rwanda would get 234 children education for a year. Is that a good use of money?

@Jans1Perumal @_MissieBee In the UK this is liters not gallons. With current exchange rate, it’s like $11 per gallon over here

@DaveMillerOPB “Snowlaf” for the snowman in Frozen. Which, when you think about it, is a way better name.

@CmtDbutterfly Thankfully the messages are still there (for now! 🤷🏼‍♂️🙏🏻) but it was a gut punch reading “Hannah left the group” on about 10 groups we were jointly in. And her profile picture disappeared too 😔

@MimiSala1 You don’t forget them

@Knit1jog1 Thank you, Kate.

[Sam McCormick @Sam_McCormick13]

@Teacherglitter Totally agree. I’ve found school and nursery have handled it very sensitively and has allowed us to have a positive experience today when I was dreading it. Sending love to you and your dragons today ❤️

[Sam McCormick @Sam_McCormick13]

@helendaykin @Teacherglitter Thank you, that’s really kind.

@llewelyn20 Can you retweet some classics from the vault again? You know, to whet our appetite…

@MoreMorrow It gets better. Last Wednesday I couldn’t shuffle down the stairs. I’m on final day of isolation today (which is obviously when 5yo decides to test positive 🤦🏼‍♂️)

@Samfr Have they not tricked you into doing “99 problems” yet? I’m sure there’s a karaoke bar in Toronto that will share the footage with them if they ask nicely…

@miss_mcinerney @TeacherTapp @researchED1 The only one I missed was the day my youngest was born. I now worry if I break my streak I’ll forget how old he is…

@BSAKheadmaster @GavinWilliamson @halfon4harlowMP @BSMEorg @COBISorg @HMC_Org Couldn’t agree more. It feels as though BTECs are collateral damage as they can’t afford for T Levels to fail. A very poor decision for a large number of students.

@TillyTeacher It’s the content we’re all here for.

[Sam McCormick @Sam_McCormick13]

@RealGeoffBarton @tes It simply won’t be possible for most institutions to offer A levels and T levels, so many schools will have to close their post-16 offering and T levels will become the preserve of FE colleges. Thus reducing student choice further. 2/2

[Sam McCormick @Sam_McCormick13]

@RealGeoffBarton @tes Not to mention the difficulty in securing placements, the specialist teaching the optionality of T levels require, and the large number of staff who currently teach vocational courses who must be worried about their jobs… 1/2
