Now taken off the telegraph website and not reported by press who had reporters at the BETT event. Why not?

“Suspending kids doesn’t teach them anything!” Maybe. Maybe not. But suspensions protect learning g for the other 29 kids, not the reformation of the one. They establish boundaries for everyone else of what behavior this community permits

just met two science teachers, delegates to our annual conference. The biologist told me her department, at quite a nice grammar school, has just advertised for a biology A-level teacher. No candidates with a degree in biology came forward.

For those of you hard of hearing... UNFUNDED PAYRISE UNFUNDED PAYRISE UNFUNDED PAYRISE

Hey Gillian Keegan we had a quote for £3700 to re-seed the footie pitch & re-do the front of the school... but because we have no cash; here is me, my husband, my mum, the School Business Manager, a TA & the site manager doing it for free in our school hols

Unpopular opinion, maybe, but just hit your Year 11s with weekly practice papers from now on. Don’t even mark them. They just need to be building stamina for the exam. They need to be so used to the exam it’s *boring* to them. No nerves going in to the room, just familiarity.

Newsflash: teachers can’t run 1-1 therapy sessions in mainstream classrooms after every behaviour incident AND still teach stuff.

Notice to parents: if you ever say "I've never been any good at maths," or "I've always hated maths," or "I've never seen the point in maths" or anything of the sort out loud, don't you *dare* ask your child's maths teacher why your child isn't doing better in maths.

I do wonder how many of these parents who insist secondary-aged children should be allowed to use the bathroom whenever they want would pull over immediately on a motorway if their kid said they had to pee, or if they'd ask them to wait for a more appropriate time.

I love the UKMT. They’ve been such an amazing force for good in maths education. But what they’ve done in Asia is completely unacceptable 🪡

When, as a profession, we seem to need these bank holidays more than other professions, despite the longer holidays, you have to question the work load and pressure we have in our roles
