Today, one of my colleagues described a group of teachers smoking as them "grabbing a fag out the back". The newly-hired Canadian teacher's eyebrows damn near hit the ceiling.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with Jewish children in Britain but you're all so racist you can't see that

"Most Jewish children go to Jewish schools" Yeah, I wonder why.

If you need to see how far the left has fallen into a sewer of antisemitism, just look how they react towards a report written on the antisemitism Jewish schoolchildren experience in British schools. An appalling disgrace that no other community would be expected to tolerate.

Some of the examiner feedback from Edexcel was that students are not using scientific terminology consistently or correctly. Having gone through their GCSE word banks, the same words in the same context are given multiple definitions, so frankly it's hardly surprising.

All the definitions are correct, but they aren't consistent which means - particularly weaker students - are going to find it harder to recall efficiently.

I would find it really funny if NJD get a My Chemical Romance-themed "black parade" jersey, equally if NSH get a Tailor Swift-inspired one ("tailor"-made)

I found the Children's Commissioner's Childhood Lottery a frustrating read. I have no doubt more children have difficult childhoods in Middlesbrough than Surrey. But excluding obvious confounding factors and selecting on dependent variables is not a good way to make that case.🧵

The debate has now spread to two of my other classes and to my form group, so I think I might stir the pot a bit by showing them these two photos of 8-year-old me.

Today, one of my year 7s got increasingly worked up because he couldn't decide if I dyed my hair or not. His arguments were that "it was brown last year" and therefore dyed, but also that it matches my eyebrows and "who dyes their eyebrows"

We have a five-minute grace period at the start of lessons before a student can be marked late. Do you know what happens? Children - and their parents - argue they shouldn't be sanctioned when they're six minutes late because it's only one minute past the grace period.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced changes to car parking fines - Drivers will have a 5-minute grace period to decide whether to park and 10 minutes to leave after a parking session ends - A £20 maximum charge on appeal for minor mistakes, such as entering the wrong number plate or not displaying a permit - Charges will also be cancelled on appeal for breakdowns, medical emergencies or broken ticket machines - The £100 cap on charges will remain - The rules will come into force as soon as possible and operators that break them will lose access to DVLA data

Apparently people are incapable of thinking for a sec: my school has five minute's grace for being late to class. The car parks will have 10 minute's grace for being late leaving the car park. Just because both tweets mention the number five, doesn't mean both fives are the same.

My next/current project is this subtle number. I have another sweater on the go too, but sleeves are boring so it's parked until I finish one panel of this vest.

When students are being assessed on their oracy skills, will we have to pretend using MLE is just as appropriate and makes you just as articulate as using standard British English like we did back in 2020/2021?
