Cognitive dissonance: I both want to go out and yet would love plans to be cancelled. See also loving teaching teenagers (best job in the world) and being bone tired and ready for the summer holidays.

How tired is normal tired when the summer term finally ends? We finished yesterday at lunchtime and I feel totally broken, tearful all the time, and like everyone hates me or doesn’t value me. Logically I know it’s not true. Is this burnout? Fastest way to recover?

I keep a peaceful little edu-corner here. I engage with almost entirely education-related content. I strayed out of it this am and god it’s a bit grim out there. Hate-filled bilge everywhere.

Holy mother of fuck, Truss considered stopping NHS care for CANCER to fill the financial black hole she caused. But yeah, Labour is lying about the mess we’re in. Cancer treatment… Fucking hell. Cut off the £115k p/a that we’re forced to pay this utter cretin.

Jeremy Hunt forgot he owned 7 flats, Geoffrey Cox failed to declare £400K, IDS forgot a company paid him £25k, Theresa Villiers forgot she owned £70k of Shell shares, Zahawi forgot to pay £4.8 million in taxes while Johnson & Sunak just forgot everything. But suits…

I absolutely loved my local school. The Head who ran the school before was an inspirational man who made people feel safe to express their views. The fact that ONE person can change the dynamic & ethos so dramatically, leading to 70 plus staff voting with their feet 👣 is beyond

To my colleagues in education. Here's your annual reminder of how we're all tired at the same time (unlike in most other jobs), which can make everything feel tough. Honest communication, plenty of appreciation in every direction and kindness (to self and others) recommended.

I do this with “check your work”. I ask them to highlight the writer’s name. Has it got a capital letter? Yes? Tick! Or correct it. Is it spelled this way? Yes? Tick. Repeat for full stops and capital letters etc and I’ve got a much better uptake of “check your work” than before.
