Gotta love all these MPs tweeting about going into work on a Saturday like a kind of martyr. How many people work extra shifts to pay for their kids trips? How many teachers attend Saturday conferences - that they pay for!? How many of us work in the holidays? So out of touch.

Fewer than 5% of teachers have not concerns about their children’s mental health. This isn’t down to a lack of mental health lessons (sometimes it feels like we just say the same thing over and over) it’s about pressures on external bodies and society as a whole.

Imagine being so involved in sport and literally not understanding what is an easily understandable attitude. How do you get to his position and still be so unaware of the general tone?

Meet Nick. He's 30 and does everything right: works hard, pays taxes, follows the rules. He’s also given up hope of ever building the life his parents had. Today's The Spectator tells his story. Our 2023 Justice for the Young report shows how Britain is failing his generation 🧵

So interesting that more teachers think a perspective head should have to be grilled by pupils than justify a series of priorities or be able to teach well. Teacher Tapp

4 years ago when my lad was at his lowest, Diogo took the time to record this for him and it helped more than he will ever know. It was a small task, but it meant to so much and I would have loved to have thanked for him personally for it. Thank you Diogo ❤️

Another day, another Teacher Tapp result that seems impossible. How can the second largest response be no fee to parents but also be that the most recent trips for people were, by a landslide, made by coach? A free coach? Come on, it’s the biggest cost.
