Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three staff working. I said to them: “It's getting hot in here!”. None of them responded with,"So take off all your clothes.” . I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

My search for Medusas continues. This time Vindolanda comes up trumps.

So 'automaticity' is clearly the current educational buzz word.

What's your half term read?.

Gareth Southgate resigning like a beleaguered Head of Department after another mid set of results and a difficult exams result analysis meeting. Solidarity.

All the ladies in: Reeves, Phillipson Rayner. Avengers assembled.

Erghhh. we have to tolerate Lee Anderson for at least another 4 yrs. Ffs.

Hardest day ever in 18yrs of this teaching thing. Life changes needed.

RT @ICT_MrP: I have found this resource which I think is probably the best way in which teachers can improve their lives and best help them….

Several times this week edutwitter has been full of practitioners ordering other teachers to stop teaching certain things. Aggressive and patronising. We wouldn't speak to students in that tone. Well I'd hope not.
