Yes well I left the long stay car park last night and got sent through the drop off zone. There are no obvious signs to avoid this. I don’t want to pay thanks!

Solidarity with all those @theguardian.com journalists on strike today over the proposed sale of @observeruk.bsky.social to a commercial start up, whose output is kept behind a paywall.

Don't do this, Scott Trust.

The need for a strong, free & independent press has never been greater. 1/2

What do you do if you feel that a parent is harassing/targeting you?

Fishermen left feeling 'betrayed' by Brexit 'Brexit was sold to our fishermen as a golden opportunity, yet the truth is that many fishermen have experienced the complete opposite'

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition...

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Anyway, here's the 'go slow' protest by farmers that blockaded the streets around Parliament following the Conservative Government's last Budget in March

We can’t have another referendum on Brexit because that was the will of the (lied to) people 8 years ago…

But we’re supposed to have another general election despite having had one 4 months ago

Right wing bellends are f*cking hilarious.

Good grief. Twitter needs banning.

An impromptu snow day, which was a pleasant surprise. Delayed start tomorrow as well. There are the odd perks with teaching aren’t there.

The temperature in my classroom. Heating has been broken after boiler smoked 2 weeks ago. We have a Trust learning walk today.
My prediction,
β€˜you’re class weren’t focused during your input’ β€˜well yes they were shivering’
β€˜You need to make sure you are challenging your pupils so they are engaged’ πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

New development, our Trust is no longer posting vacancies on Local Authority website due to the cost. Is this standard practice now?

We have children coming in to school wearing wellies tomorrow in solidarity. My sympathy for families that have dodged inheritance tax for years draws little from me. Perhaps it’ll stop tax dodgers from buying up land…

Another reason why I don’t pursue it. Being labelled as β€˜just jumping on the bandwagon’ and β€˜everyone is neurodivergent now’.

Ab sit up mat ready for a session.

Ab sit up mat ready for a session.

Really demoralised about work but the session this evening really lifted the mood. Never have I have ever felt so inept at my job. I’ve had my fair share of poor lessons but this feels different, it’s not something I have done wrong it’s been made to do something with no evidence to base it.

Feel physically ill haven’t felt like this about work in a longtime. What a great feeling when you’ve been working so hard to help support your school but you are made to feel completely inept. #prescriptivecurriculum

Sunday afternoon walk along the seafront topped off with a coffee and salt caramel cookie from Teign Bean. Can’t lie, not feeling joyous that weekend is over already but it was a welcome 45 minutes of distraction. #sundayafternoonwalk

Deleted it all together and it’s quite nice not to be bombarded with nasty rhetoric in the U.S.

Yep. I completed the leviathan that was the assessment and curriculum review what a beast that was to complete. I think I got a bit ranty πŸ€£πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ.

Not a Bluesky but very much enjoyed the evening run on Haldon Forest with just the resident deer for company. Lovely view over the River Exe too. I even turned off the headphones as well so I could just listen to the darkness.

12 years of teaching and yesterday I was told that I shouldn’t be adding to a β€˜non scheme’ in a lesson as that’s not what it says to do on the β€˜non scheme’ that is now apparently a β€˜scheme’. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I did what it said and then got the children to write a diary entry writing in the first person. πŸ€”

Due to OfSTED coming our head has decided that we now have to produce medium term planning for English for the whole 3-4 week sequence. Reasonable? #teaching

Reposting this again - please watch. I am so grateful for Lewis's outrage. Women are being harassed, maimed and killed because of these laws, all in the name of "pro-life".

As a ITT mentor in a small school the @schoolsweek.bsky.social news that 20 hours compulsory training has been scrapped is a relief. Not only was it extra work but was I getting paid for my time!? Nope. Been a mentor 4 times, it’s already pretty hard work let along with extra to do. #teacherworkload
