Check out Countryboots05's video! vm.tiktok.com/ZGeQM5HHo/ This is a no from me. You should not be on social media with your class. You should not have your phone in the classroom. #safeguarding #childprotection
Imagine… a) thinking this is helping your child. B) thinking that it’s a ‘flex’ to boast about on the internet. C) thinking that people will give you likes on the internet for shaming your child. #badparenting

Had a lovely trip on a #steamtrain today from Holt to Sheringham on @nnrailway! #seaside #norfolkcoast
Fair, but a lot of #SENDParents haven’t worked in education - and can’t see the other point of view. They can’t comprehend that educators have to think about the needs of ALL the children.

This. 100% Seen far too many videos on social media of ‘baby’s first earrings’ and the poor child is screaming blue murder and there’s 3 or 4 people holding them. It’s abuse. No means no.

So we give all students a wheelchair so they understand someone who uses one?
One child might need this… so you’ve given it to all of them? As a pupil this would have annoyed me as I couldn’t move it as quickly as I could read. 🤦🏻♀️

Is there a #speechandlanguage therapy chat on twitter? I could do with some ideas for supporting #gestaltlanguageprocessors in my classroom… Anyone got any thoughts? #GLP
On social media.. Parents “the government can’t control education I’ll take my kids out for holidays whenever 2 weeks off won’t matter! Also parents “how dare they shut the schools for polling stations don’t they know educating my kids is important” #schoolscantwin
SO MUCH NOSTALGIA - #bookfairs are the best!

If these people need training to NOT TORTURE children… I’d be asking some serious questions. Even the most well trained dog still has capacity to bite. And these people have already bitten.

“Lessons to be learnt” CHILDREN AREN’T LESSON RESOURCES. They’re not test subjects for us to learn from. We need to get it right for them. They’re being let down.

Because people see the need to manage them rather than help them. 😞 Often by putting them in stressful situations which they react to and appear as more volatile… it’s inhumane.

This is absolutely abhorrent. 😔

Here it is! A compilation of free (or very cheap) websites for primary trainees & NQTs to support planning in each curriculum subject. I've vetted each one myself to make sure they're actually useful! Thanks everyone for your ideas! #PrimaryRocks #PGCE tes.com/teaching-resou…

Hello teacher, I've seen your thread about the realities of your classroom. Allow me, a non-teacher, to counter it with one of my own relying solely on analogies and hypotheticals. #IAmVeryNice
@Ria1984 Demi Moore absolutely slayed in dungas doing pottery with Patrick Swayze in the early 90s and ever since then millennial women have had a bit of a thing about it it I think 🤷🏻♀️
@RuthCliff3 @Ria1984 I think that's a very sweeping statement & one which is certainly not true in my school. When teachers are constantly told they are not doing enough or not working hard enough, despite pulling a 50 hour week, it explains why the current recruitment & retention crisis exists 😮💨
@housepanther77 @johncosgrove405 It’s left over from the Shanghai maths era. The theory was there that you teach all kids the same ‘level’ as measured vertically but the brighter/faster kids get more breadth ‘horizontally’. So maybe more multi-step/problem solving but using only the concepts taught for that yr.
@simplem_ths "I can see that you're upset. It's normal for our feelings to show like this. Let's take a deep breath together and then talk about it." *gets punched*
@Ria1984 Inclusion is about equity. By preventing more able readers to use their higher level reading skills you are not being equitable. Think about the high fluency skills they will need for academic study and enjoyment.
@nettoghetto @WardProWords @Ria1984 I was a clever kid with comprehension above my expected age, and was in too set for everything. It was okay when I got into upper school, but I don’t think the class should cater for children who are behind, and ignore children who are ahead.
@BarryNSmith79 @TheWellsAcademy Skimming and scanning are important reading skills and, I think, still part of the National Curriculum? I don’t know how much English you have taught, but able children often do it and this would lower expectations of them. Looking at words is no guarantee of comprehension.
A little bit of person news in this one, very humbled and privileged to be becoming the permanent head on the hill 💙
💙📰Our first May newsletter is here.📰💙 It includes an update on our staffing and some exciting learning which has been happening here on the hill.
@Ria1984 Couldn't pupils who need them just ask for one
So happy with how well the @Scholastic Book Fair has been received! Three days in and 28% of our students have purchased a new book 📕 #readingcommunity
@jmwatkinscook @Ria1984 I use to devour books - I read so quickly and in the last year of primary the teacher supplied me with her books as my reading age was beyond what the school's books went up to.
@Ria1984 This is not evidence-based. Fluent readers don’t read word for word on the line. They scan backwards and forwards, focusing on the middle of the text. The minority of children who need support have always found rulers helpful. The majority don’t.
@Ria1984 I was told they should do this in secondary and I argued against it - definitely a tool which can help, but shouldn’t be forced!
@Ria1984 Absolutely! And surely there are far fewer people actually voting in person when postal voting is so easy and accessible?
@Ria1984 I mean, flip this around and it's an absolute joke. Children's education is so important that their attendance is scrutinised to the nth degree, yet many schools close for polling. Bit bonkers
