People would have to save up to pay the tax bill annually and most wouldn't?

I did. And I'm an education research and evaluation specialist. Bonus is I still get to do some events and focus groups etc with young people.

We had a live band 🙂 no regrets.

Have had a similar conversation today.

Absolutely.

I suspect I want a wide interpretation of 'current way of doing things' because it feels as though there are a whole lot of things that need to change before we think we can drop all the labels.

Caramel cornflake brownie for me please. I'm almost tempted to try and make some!

The message being pushed is that of 'overdiagnosis' which definitely isn't helpful without proper interrogation which I think the piece does try to do.

Listening to lots of parents I think there are a lot of schools who won't offer support without an ehcp. I found it a difficult read. There were elements I agreed with and others I didn't. I need to ponder more.

Agreed. When observing lessons I always tried to sit with students (if there was space - often there wasn't). Even just experiencing plastic chairs on a hot day was distracting...

Hope they did the pole dancing class...

I think the whole narrative in education is designed to create the belief that everybody can improve (measured in grades) if they have great teaching/ tutors / etc. So if you're not improving or closing the gap then we need something 'additional'.

Wasp in the classroom..

We have my husbands original set 🙂 but my children won't read them 😕 I managed to read tltwatw to them one holiday when they were just shy of reading chapter books themselves. But they preferred the magic faraway tree.

I got deducted a half day pay when my daughter had chicken pox. A colleague recommended next time I call in sick.

So many bugs around. Sorry you're feeling rough and thank you for testing. Mask up and treat as a nasty cold?

We love our local bookshop @beckenhambookshop.bsky.social

Epic!

And me! Sounds a-ma-zing

Do solar panels give off warmth?

I used it in sociology lessons

We had a fab day out there

How many is too many? I'd love me a little playmobil trebuchet.

I was excited until I failed to find a trebuchet

Redeemed from last week's disaster with a credible 8

I read it over the summer following my first year at uni when I was hanging around. Agree it's fabulous.

Very sad but what a life and legacy!

Wouldn't we all like to be more cat?
