Morning @twitter thanks for reminding me to retweet this great message by removing my like again. @jk_rowling s message is so important -great to know you care. but you should stop censoring tweets, yr coming across as misogynistic by only doing it to women #IStandWithJKRowling

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

@JacqBev9616 @ShakinthatChalk Then teachers will need to be paid for their time... That's if you can find any willing to do the job without the holidays...

As an 18-year-old this passage from C.S. Lewis completely blew up my agnosticism. I remember exactly where I was when I read it for the first time.

i HATE how an engineer invented the correct way to write recipes like 20 years ago and nobody else ever used it

The Vikings loved giving cats as wedding gifts. Not only were they thought to be invaluable to brides setting up their new homes, but they were also sacred to Freya, the #Norse goddess of love, whose chariot was pulled by two giant cats. #FolkloreSunday #FairyTaleTuesday

@JamesAFurey It used to be though. Before prescribed lessons, when yr enthusiasm could infect 13 yr olds because they trusted you to be in control. I'll never forget the spontaneous applause when we finished ' Twelfth Night'. Year 9 in one of the most deprived estates in the UK. They loved it

Some unsolicited advice for prospective teachers:

Loving your subject is not a good reason to become a teacher. You also have to enjoy teaching people who know very little about it and may have no particular interest in knowing more. This is true at all levels, not just grade school.

You might love literature. You’d better also find some satisfaction in teaching someone how to read a sentence, because you don’t get to skip that part and go straight to Dostoevsky.

The part you may not have the patience to get past might end up being your whole job.

@TolentinoTeach Restorative justice cheap pop psychology. It does not work with immature or low emotional intelligence. It pushes hugely complex problems back onto the teacher.

@Raymond82310289 How on earth will they be able to police it? Especially YouTube!

We’ve created a school system where students who follow the rules often receive the least attention, while most of the time and energy goes toward managing those who don’t.

🚨BREAKING: A 13-year-old orphaned girl told staff she felt unsafe, but her request to move was DENIED. JK Rowling just offered to pay for her day in court.

A 13-year-old orphaned girl, the only female in the unit and with no criminal record, was placed at St Mary's Kenmure in Glasgow alongside 11 boys aged 15-17, all teenage offenders. She told staff she felt unsafe and requested to move to an empty houseblock, but her request was denied.

The situation was documented by the Council of Europe's committee for the prevention of torture following an inspection.

JK Rowling responded strongly, offering to pay for the girl's day in court. She wrote: Who does it hurt if we make every space mixed-sex? This is who it hurts: the most vulnerable, those without power and influence, the invisible people politicians don't bother to consider when chasing likes and photo ops.

@bbuk_discord Are you suggesting there is only one audience for BB?

[Fifirou 🏹♥️⚔️ @simplesof]

@cathsbruv Yup same here, just finished with my y8s too. Except half the class couldn't even be quiet enough to even listen to instructions. Genuinely questioning how much more of this I can be bothered with. 30 years in the classroom is a sentence....

[Fifirou 🏹♥️⚔️ @simplesof]

@Megatron_ron I've no doubt she did, and worse. Why do we not here what some of the names men did in addition? Only one arrest and so much evidence....

Metallica Frontman James Hetfield just called out artists who turn their concerts into political rallies: “Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their BULLSH*T.”

It’s great to hear a musician say this instead of betraying their own fans and attacking them from the stage.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

The constant push for teachers to “find their why” is professionally insulting.

Purpose isn’t the issue—we already have it.

What’s missing: time to plan, autonomy to teach, freedom from micromanagement, and real consequences for the kid throwing darts into the ceiling.
