I'm finding it hard to distinguish conversations I have with my 3yo from interviews with politicians: Me: Do you need the toilet? 3yo: I think I want the Elsa dress. Me: That's lovely but do you need the toilet? 3yo: Listen, can you hear that noise? #generalelection #toddler

I really want an A Level Language student to do an NEA on Trump's daily post-trial media speeches. I think it would be quite an interesting topic. #Trump #TeamEnglish #eduqas

This is an actual quote from the headteacher: "We lost a lot of people in Covid… a lot of our parents, their businesses have not recovered. So a lot of them have left and gone to state schools. Then we had the interest rates, energy bills and all of that."

Saw that #NoamChomsky was trending and had a moment of sheer joy as I thought the level of discourse on this platform had upped. I'm sad to discover that he died. I was literally talking about him with my A Level group today. Sad times. #RIPNoam

The Eagle has Landed, Don't Look Now, The First Great Train Robbery, The Dirty Dozen, JFK: some of my favourite films were truly built on the back of the wonderful #DonaldSutherland . He will be missed.

Hit me up English Teachers! I'm looking up possible trips for A Level - both Literature and Language course. Has anyone done any really worthwhile trips with their English KS5 cohorts? #TeamEnglish
