Co-ordinated attacks. No Principal seems to be backing their lecturers on pay. Refusing to acknowledge or discuss ASOS. Students calling them out articulately via high profile media platforms. The vanity projects are being highlighted. Fight for FE, fight compulsories, ALWAYS ✊

To celebrate being ignored for who knows how many times at this point. We’ve compiled a list, let’s see if you can guess what it is… answers on a postcard, and also on the last tweet. Here we go…

Working on the Strike playlist for today's Gies Piece protest picnic, in support of ASOS and all our colleagues fighting for the sector. Fancy a chat @GraemeDeyMSP ? I've got a few hundred colleagues who'd be happy to share a pincnic blanket with you... EISFela Garry Ross

This is @GraemeDeyMSP Graeme is the Mr Benn of The SNP He refuses to talk to lecturers. He ignores FE students who have been contacting him daily. But he does love a game of dress up. A short thread of Graeme's best photo ops. EISFela Graeme as sweet shop owner 1/

A friendly reminder : no results entered onto the system, or shared with anyone. This is where our ASOS power lies. No quitting. No sentimental crap. You're not their parent, their guru or their best friend. You taught them for a bit. You owe it to your colleagues. #NoResults

Take a minute to look at this photo. 175 job cuts. This is avoidable Scottish Government. EIS-FELA CoGC need everyones support. If you can, join their picket line tomorrow from 8-10am. What’s your thoughts @GraemeDeyMSP? @JennyGilruth? Humza Yousaf? Happy with this? #fightingforfe

Can you tell us how many 1000's of student places & staff jobs have been lost in Scotland's college sector during same period? While you've been the responsible Minister (though you wouldn't know it by your public statements) for HE/FE. #Judgemeonmyrecordoneducation

Still on strike. ✊ 100s of staff being scored to see which 100 get made redundant ⁦City of Glasgow College⁩ - totally botched process. Nicola has been served with redundancy. She has 4 young children including triplets. Unfair dismissal claim in the post! ⁦EIS-FELA CoGC

Computers that don't work. Ancient promethians with no remote controls. Internet connections that drop out. Bleak libraries with barely any books. Cold classrooms and no heating. Manky furniture in student areas. Management "what can YOU do to help student retention?".

The plot thickens 🫠🧵 Parents told yesterday that “AMCOL’s decision” was that they wouldn’t be able to take over the nursery until summer 2024 so it would have to close from December until then. So who makes the decisions at AMCOL you might wonder? Well… 🤔👇🏼

The Undercover Lecturer Frances Curran City of Glasgow College EIS-FELA CoGC My collleagues and I have managed without any real form of managerial support since term commenced -aside from timetabling (which was issued days before teaching started and was a shambles).They can’t even get that right. College leaders and middle management needs an overhaul

Anyone else noticing a real decline in student behaviour? Rude kids, bad attitudes, no manners, zero resilience, no attention span, learned helplessness. No one has ever expected anything of them. Prizes for all and this is the consequence - under The SNP #DeyNothing

I wouldn't worry much about College Employers Scotland's latest lies, damned lies and statistics. Have you seen their followers number? We're the only people reading their tweets. 😉 Just ignore them and they'll go away.

Can I fit in a little bit about "sustainability" into my lesson? When my job, and that of every FE lecturer, is under threat? When my personal sustainability is under sustained attack from inept management? Why no. No. I don't think I'll be wasting a single fuck on that. 🤔

Meanwhile, in real Scotland. Ongoing cuts to courses/places/jobs/resources. HE/FE Minister @GraemeDeyMSP wants to attract students & academic staff to a sector that's being decimated & staff get no cost of living uplift for years. Is there a Parliamentary award for gaslighting?
