    It would - he would have just retweeted and commented on his own original tweet like he was some kind of mystic.

    What the fuck

    Not true at all. The only people claiming they represent the left are the people on the other side of the political spectrum who like to categorise in this way because they lack the intellectual capacity to understand why people might speak out. Cancel culture is a myth pedalled by right wing...

    It makes sense now about the impact of the practical nature of what you teach. And of course there is far less scope to adjust curriculum in regards to what you have to show them.

    Yes I agree - the government didn’t plan for that when they had 6 months to put a system in place. Instead they gave £5m to Oak to bang out some voiced over PPT’s. It’s not like HMI/OFSTED/DFE did anything useful during the time when we had to sort out CAG’s. Another frustrating example of...

    Their can be no substitute for face to face teaching, I’m not even going to begin to question that, but the safety aspect goes beyond just the children. It’s their at risk family members, their vulnerable or at risk teachers or their at risk family members, even their vulnerable or at risk...

    It’s not really irrelevant though is it. It’s been exacerbated since the 2010 coalition pretended that we ‘were all in it together’ as they crucified the poorest for austerity.

    The poorest kids have been losing out in education for as long as I can remember. Funding stripped, rising class numbers, removal of support networks in and around education and social work structures to name a handful of the myriad of problems. Now everyone that turned a blind eye to the...

    There is of course the Oak National Academy stuff that is out there, that has been funded and paid to provide remote learning resources for the whole of this academic year. Of course though, a quick dig into how it was put together and you soon find out that it was another no-tender deal with...

    US presidential Election 2020

    I agree that the Dems have not picked the right guy for this fight. Biden should really get over the line given the damage Trump has done over the last 4 years but I wouldn’t bet on the outcome at all.

    Work life balance has been one of the major reasons for teachers leaving the profession. Some schools and heads get it, some really do not. I know I can’t teach from home effectively and we need to be in school for as long as it remains safe to do so, but the lockdown has shown us that we don’t...

    I saw that - what an utter show of contempt for your constituents.

    Wilson on the move

    As one of the people that have gone for a Top 6 finish, I’m happy to admit I am stupidly optimistic and anything above 22nd is fine by me. But on the other hand we should never underestimate the power of momentum and a winning mentality. Even looking at the MK Dons game - we were down to 10 and...
