Became aware that their ideas & resources had formed my teaching DNA through the standards pack and other bits & pieces without my knowing where they came from. Hugh was also responsible for the worst hangover I ever had on a work trip! He’ll be missed. https://t.co/d1Fl37ului

What is important in maths education is pretty foundational to how I view maths learning. I didn’t realise as a teacher how much of his and Malcolm Swann’s work made it into my lessons until I began interacting with the Nottingham shell centre team through Cambridge Maths and /2

The bleakest core maths quantitative comparison ever… Just keep blowing things up until people can put a “positive” framing on the sheer number of people killed…
Since Hamas launched this war, the Israeli Air Force has struck 22,000+ targets in the Gaza Strip. Even based on Hamas numbers passing off terrorists as civilians, that's less than 0.8 civilian deaths per airstrike. That's what world-leading precision looks like.

"One of the lessons we learnt was that you cant place any reliance on Israeli accounts of events" Thomas Hurndall was trying to help some children when he was shot in the head & killed by an IDF sniper in 2003. His dad was interviewed on Sky last month https://t.co/3SFoj92d4g

The snowglobe was a Hamas HQ and there was intelligence that Hamas fighters were hiding in the other souvenirs… can’t be too careful when you’re defending yourself…
This pathetic Israeli soldier takes great pleasure in smashing the contents of a Palestinian shop in Jabalia Refugee Camp, north of Gaza City. The IOF are a particularly loathsome bunch of childish narcissists. https://t.co/TDZ1EJGJez

Public service announcement: Wes Streeting is as awful as any Tory because he’s their ideological bedfellow. Making him health secretary will not materially improve the NHS. This is Gove style “teaching blob” rhetoric - “the politicians have to take on the enemies of progress”
The UK has spent 20% less than European neighbours on healthcare in the last decade. The NHS is in the midst of a retention and recruitment crisis due to poor pay and conditions. Without greater funding, unsafe staffing levels will persist and patients will be put at risk.
