Over 170 journalists (some reports say over 200) have been killed in Gaza. The deadliest conflict in history for media workers. Normally in war, that would be considered a war crime or bad strategy at best. But the IDF don’t appear to fear condemnation around the world. Because there is very little.

Whilst many have been critical of Bob Vylan’s chant about the IDF, how many of those have been equally critical of the IDF’s most recent confession - soldier confessions that aid areas have become a deliberate and planned “killing field” as reported by Haaretz?

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Powerful video…

Imagine starving to death, but to be giving a life line - get to the aid centre by walking miles and scramble for food. But only to be shot at and killed. This is what has happened to hundreds according to sources, verified by the Red Cross. Israel disputes the numbers. Should there by more outcry?

The number of women wearing the burqa is tiny. The vast majority of Muslim women wear their hair out, wear make up & western clothing. But hey.The burqa helps conceal the racism, the attempts at division, power, control and ratings. The obsession with it is like a sickness that won’t go away.

The first day is the hardest- well done.

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Wow - I am impressed. I always give up at week 3.

Last year I made a half term of lesson resources and then forgot - made them twice.

I love your books - they definitely help when the world becomes too stressful.

Term is just so busy right now - understandable that you don’t have time for anything extra.

True. I wanted to know more about those lads too.

As you begin your teaching journey, there will be a lot of talk about the importance of relationships.

And that is true- they are important.

But what does that mean and how do you build them?

I know where my lanyard is.
Just sayin'

Sat on the balcony feeling super lucky. We have long wkend so not back to Wed but good good luck to everyone returning tomorrow. And it's never too late to go international! ❤️

Slightly envious. Well done! I still need to decorate my classroom. Serves me right for being lazy (out of imagination) at the end of last term. Hoping the long weekend gives me some fantastic ideas.

23 years now - but FE, so not sure if I can help.

@samgibbs.bsky.social and I would like to speak to BAME teachers who have been in the classroom for 20+ years plus about what has helped them stay in the profession. Please RT and get in touch if you can help

I was thinking of booking this. Looking forward to the term too - love the job - just a bit weird when family assume you are still on leave.

2001- 2021 on and off. I wouldn’t have been there in 2010, I think. Taught English in the sixth form.

I used to teach at Jamea - so good to see how well you’re doing!

I have to go back to work tomorrow- the joys of teaching FE. I need another month please.

This is on my list for a present to a new teacher. Can’t wait to read it though - even as a very old teacher.
