Teachers: We have reached the point where educators who disagree with Bennett and his supporters are experiencing the equivalent of permanent exclusion.

To those saying comments like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check ur facts! 40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, have disabilities or illness, & some who don't have work, want it. A little more compassion & less judgement

When I applied to university, I was told the odds were against me—only 14% of care leavers make it to university. Now I'm in my 2nd year at Oxford, despite the odds. If you're a care experienced student applying to university, you CAN do this ♥️ #NationalCareLeaversWeek

On a train across from a foursome of 20-yr-ish lads. The dynamics between them are interesting. There is the cocky leader. He’s a brickie. He holds his declared income at 50k, because if he goes over, he will pay 40% tax. On all of it 🤦‍♀️ He has loudly told the train carriage

My lad is finally returning to mainstream school 3 months after his unlawful PEX. I couldn’t be prouder of how he’s managed the disappointments and setbacks these past few months. The new school is keen to provide him with a fresh start, and we wish him every success. (1/2)

Laura Kuenssberg accusing Rachel Reeves of a budget based on “class” targeting private schools and wealthy landowners. If she thinks this is class war, wait until she hears what the Tories have been doing for the last 14 years.

A Fresh Start for an 8-Year-Old Boy Who Nearly Faced Exclusion On his first day, he ended up in my office—angry, swearing, and lashing out. Then he took off, starting a chaotic game of chase around the school. We kept our distance, letting him burn off his energy. Finally,

A rise in tuition fees can say goodbye to my job & at 56 my career - I work in a Post-92 University that serves its community my students are working class & mature students most likely will be put off by extra debt. And that means saying goodbye to future working class academics

As Mum to a kid with POTS, I can tell you it’s a ruddy horrible condition to have to manage. And most people, including medics, just don’t see it as relevant, often leaping to judgement. Ableism and prejudice re. hidden disabilities and chronic conditions is nasty. 😔

Since Andrew Old is continuing on about 'troll twitter' I'd gently point out that at the weekend in a now deleted tweet he said he was engaging me by calling me bonkers not to debate but to try to get me to say something 'even more stupid'. This is ... textbook trolling.

Anyone who has worked in Elite University knows why - private school students have had access to dyslexia tests amongst other tests & know how to get advantages their schools & parents have taught them whereas working class students dont realise or feel ashamed to ask for support

I have lost so many friends since I started to struggle with my mental health. I imagine it must be exhausting hearing that I’m having difficulty again. If only people knew just how exhausting it is to be the one living it.

I started my career as a cleaner in the NHS. I learnt a lot about the world in that role. Some people treated me with respect, but many treated me badly. Cleaners hold hospitals together. I will absolutely judge you on how you treat the cleaners & porters.

Something to hide? Last Sat, a junior member of the Puckeridge with Essex Union hunt assaulted a member of our group with a riding crop. This video, which is now with the police, demonstrates how organised wildlife crime gangs indoctrinate young people.
