@DanaPalubiak Some quit because they don't care. Some quit because they want a desk job.
Some quit to care for children
Some quit because they're rubbish at the job.
Some (many) quit because they're asked to do 5 people's job and can't say no.

@empirical_Tea @FixingEducation So ignore the huge barriers that many students have and just expect children to cope?

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@FixingEducation Its not a choice. You can do both and you should do both.
Often the hard to reach kid doesn't have anyone else fighting for them so teachers have to.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@grahambc1 @dylanwiliam @marcportermagee What is your suggestion for a better measure?

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@OnlineTutor3293 @adamboxer1 Governors and PTAs know little to nothing about education practices and what good looks like.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@vicgoddard Got that one right!

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@AdrianBethune I agree. I'm not as good as I was but I think I'm good enough while being a good dad too (I hope!)

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@mjello06 @AnnieBeale1 @Adhdandmebexley There is no cash, at any level. Funding is at an all time low.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@vicgoddard I misread it and clicked yes cos I wanted them to enjoy!!! Oops!

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@NikkiHesford @DanielPriestley 41% sounds like a lot less than 60%...

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@AnnieBeale1 Why quote tweet me rather than debate me? This is so strange. Anyway I'm done. You don't want a discussion you want a soap box. Enjoy.

@Hector_McNeil @DanielPriestley That's about the same as someone in the UK on similar salary.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@Hector_McNeil @DanielPriestley But about $25k a year for a family. The median household income is 80k so an effective, additional tax rate of 30%. On top of roughly 12% federal tax (accounting for allowances) plus 5% ish of state income taxes.

So a median household pays about 47% in effective rate of 47%ish

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@DanielPriestley USA has 120% debt to GDP ratio. If we did that, we'd have hundreds of billions to spend!

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@AnnieBeale1 @mjello06 @Adhdandmebexley It wasn't your claim. But you jumped in to defend it. Maybe because you share the ideological hatred of 82% of all secondary schools.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@AnnieBeale1 @mjello06 @Adhdandmebexley I didn't mention violence. Please don't put words in my mouth.

[Anthony Shaw @ShawMaths]

@AnnieBeale1 @mjello06 @Adhdandmebexley Then calk out the MATs you have a problem with.

I got the number wrong...

82% of all secondaries are Academies.

Do you think 82% of school leaders want to hurt children by PEXing them?
