Stop Cuts to Teacher Numbers in Glasgow - Sign the Petition! chng.it/Z5FLK2kvBB via Change.org UK

Here's the letter the SQA sent to schools explaining what actually happened. The corrected file was made available after schools had closed, and they weren't contacted until a few hours later. The exam is on Monday at 9am.

They shouldn’t be going to school hungry, sat in crumbling classrooms being taught maths by their PE teacher. But you seem less bothered about that.

That Nigel Farage will do well tomorrow - despite his public admiration of the adjudicated rapist & convicted felon Donald Trump; the alleged people trafficer & proud misogynist Andrew Tate & the genocidal maniac Vladimir Putin - illustrates perfectly how f*cked the UK media is.

Don’t be a teacher martyr!

Glasgow is in the process of cutting nearly 10% of its teaching workforce but can afford to host the Remember the Empire Games? Seriously?

Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Sorrywhatpardon?

“Colourful”, “robust views”

So The Guardian today reporting that 90% of Scottish teachers have been verbally abused in the past year and 44% have been physically abused. Good luck with the restorative conversations.

No one goes to their work to be abused. That includes teachers. Abusive behaviour is on the rise. We value the safety and conditions of educators and their pupils. You should too. More with Roz Foyer in The Herald. 🔗 NASUWT Scotland EIS heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

This isn't true. Educators (*teachers?) are entitled to a break. Take a break. Have lunch in the staffroom. You don't *need* to be "on" all the time, and if your school is demanding that then you should take action. It shouldn't be normal and isn't acceptable.

.EIS I’ve voted, have you? Yes to strike action.

What’s the expert verdict on SNP plan to curb school violence? F-minus. My response to the enormous opportunity, missed completely by the latest Scottish school behaviour guidance. thetimes.com/article/e17146…

Are those saying 16-year-olds shouldn’t be given the vote because they’re children and don’t know what they’re doing the same individuals who said Shamima Begum knew exactly what she was doing?

I don’t think there’s a better song than Cemetery Gates by The Smiths

Looks like there’s been a big schwiiiiiiiing to the far right..
