Fellow teachers, let's stand united. Finally posted my ASCL ballot back today. Time for action to #SaveOurSchools

"We need assistant heads to find that ballot paper, which might be in your pigeonhole, down the back of a sofa - can you fill it in and send it to us?" Geoff Barton in today's video briefing. #VoteForEducation vimeo.com/842148614?ref=…

It’s so important that ASCL members use their voice and vote. Do not assume your one vote won’t make a difference - it will, won’t it Geoff Barton . Please fill it in and send it in - it only takes a minute. #VoteForEducation

Thanks to my colleagues and fellow professionals who are striking today. Protest playlist below...🤟 Fellow ASCL members, RETURN YOUR BALLOTS. We want a strong mandate to force the government into action. Together, we shall overcome #SaveOurSchools open.spotify.com/playlist/3k0yJ…

Our thanks to all eligible #ASCLmembers who have voted in our ballot on industrial action in England. If you haven’t done so already, please post your vote. We can't emphasise enough how important it is we hear from you - please #VoteForEducation ascl.org.uk/industrial-act…

"It's time, through our ballot, to send a powerful signal to the government. It's time to say enough is enough." Geoff Barton in Leader on why we've launched our ballot on industrial action and urges eligible members - please #VoteForEducation ➡ bit.ly/3rhURK4

Calling all ASCL members! Have you posted your ballot yet? If not, do it this week. It is crucial that we give the union a mandate to negotiate. If we do get a 6.5% offer and even part of it is unfunded, redundancies will certainly follow. Please #VoteForEducation.

Yes Bloc Party! Made sure I got down the front for Ratchet. Great to see you in such a small sweaty venue again. Excited for the new EP. Keep It Rollin.

We know almost nothing about her, her political views, or what she’s done to get there. But now she’s in the House of Lords, she can make laws for the rest of us for life. Thank heaven Boris Johnson took us out of the unaccountable EU!

As Steven says …

Do you want 1 minute/day of physics history for your students? If your answer is yes, you might like the year's worth of slides I just finished. bit.ly/ThisDayinPhysi… Comments are turned on if you want to leave suggestions/comments. #ITeachPhysics

Dr Dan Jones AQA Science IOP support for teaching physics Tom Grinyer AQA Thanks for raising. We have heard this from others, and we agree: it’s unfair for talented & hardworking students, and reinforces the stereotype that physics is ‘hard’, which we know puts too many young people off. We recently wrote to AQA on this & will keep pushing for change

Loved the new decorations in the ground today as well

How to make £493,964,000 in just 8 hours 30 minutes Easy, get govt to bin nutrient neutrality laws for house builders exactly what the likes of Persimmon PLC, Barrat Developments PLC and Taylor Wimpey PLC did this morning & that's exactly how much richer they are this afternoon.
