When half the teachers in the country leave or go on strike and they have 80 kids to a classroom, they may rethink this one

US teacher commentary on edutainment.

I told you it would make a comeback as we saw declining attention.

Scaffolding disguised as support in a really interesting take, because actually he’s right. In too many instances it’s not because the pupils can’t 1/n

this matches every other survey which shows that managers and upper admin love AI and the people who actually do the work fucking hate it

I trained at De Le Salle many years ago. Wonderful community with lovely pupils but a very challenging place all the same. I am so glad to see it is in good hands and making headlines for thr right reasons.

That is incredible, especially given that the new 'supportive' framework is reportedly more punitive than that which preceded it. Good work πŸ‘

This NYT column by @polgreen.bsky.social is the truest thing I've ever seen about the REAL reason public trust in the media collapsed

How can my masked goons intimidate you when you are voting if you are voting by post? We can't watch all of the Post Offices. You must attend a polling station so we can do what we have persistently accused the left of doing and steal the elections.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Also our people are insisting on"..... how do you know if you haven't asked them? Maybe have a vote on how you should vote. Of course when that referrendum shows the majority oppose you, you can always suggest the vote was stolen and rinse repeat.

Are "book looks" a waste of time? Book looks and work scrutinies are a staple in many schools. But can they actually tell us anything about teaching or learning?

New post: Are book looks a waste of time?

For some, they are a meaningless scourge. For others, they are a vital accountability lever that provides insight into the lived curriculum.

Read on for more, and please share if you can!

So all we need is more teachers?

That is a hot take! Wish I had thought of that

2/ The system appears more punitive than ever and is hidden under the guise of support.

If the government is interested in raising standards and improving recruitment and retention, they shouldn't hit teachers with a bat! This job is hard enough.
