Are there any thoughts / blogs / articles / books on recovery and where the emphasis should be for language learning post-COVID? #mfltwitterati #languagelearning #MFL #languages #teaching #edutwitter

Would any languages' teachers like one of these? I have 4 to give away. This is going to be awkward if no-one wants them! 🙃To enter, simply follow me/retweet if you already do so. My 4 year old will choose winners by Sunday 22/08 🇪🇸🇫🇷 #MFLtwitterati #teachertwitter #edutwitter

First week at new school done! So exhausted I've spent my Friday night lying in bed since 7pm. Body is tired, brain is wired. Don't even fancy a glass of wine. Here's hoping next week will be calmer!

Number 1. Number 2 I just find rude.

In the Netherlands, the cap on class sizes across all schools is 22 pupils. Why can't we do the same in the UK?

Any other teachers think this last half term would be fairly calm and relaxed but have found it to be just as busy / manic as the rest of the year? Summer holidays can't come soon enough!

We don’t need more new organisations (that cost money) to solve teacher retention, we need to funnel that money into the organisation of a teachers time - increasing PPA and decreasing class sizes.

After 8 years of teaching MFL, I'm about to start a new job covering long-term staff absence, primarily teaching Maths and a bit of Business Studies. Would be grateful if #edutwitter could point me in the direction of some good teaching accounts to follow for those subjects? TIA!

When I worked at an International School, our timetable was 65% teaching, 35% PPA. Why can't we do that in the UK? Even 20% PPA would be a big improvement.

Before Twitter gets taken over with Christmas-spam, let it be known that if a child in Year 11 with a Sept-Nov birthday goes into care tonight, there’s now a 50/50 chance they’ll end up in unregulated accommodation. That’s because according to this gov, 16 & 17 year olds don’t

If Tory MPs were so “bothered” about children they wouldn’t have decimated services such as CAMHs, smashed apart Sure Start, voted to not fund FSM during the pandemic, ignored expert advice on building back effectively after the pandemic. Doesn’t seem they are that “bothered”

Great turnout for the rally in Exeter today! #teacherstrike National Education Union

Apathy/passivity in learning - biggest problem in classrooms? Kids just waiting to be spoonfed every single lesson, teachers bending over backwards to accommodate every demand, kids not caring at all, teachers blamed for them not caring - some schools accepting status quo.

Education is in crisis in this country. It’s about saving our schools. We don’t want to strike but as teachers in London, South East and South West go on strike today it’s clear we have to take a stand, as the Government won’t. #SaveOurSchools

Common sense here.
