2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

More diabetes distress? Tired of the relentless nature of life as a fallible human organ? Don’t worry about it! Get suppress your feelings for free today! No feelings, you don’t get to come out and play with your friends. You live in the basement. πŸ‘

In my YA Lit class, I have the students come up with activities they might do in a K12 classroom, and today we made music playlists for characters in the book we just read and it was really fun 10/10 recommend this activity

The eye of the storm What can we reasonably expect of teachers?

β€œWhat is it useful for the teacher to know and how much can we expect them to internalise and act upon?”

Excellent by @head-teach.bsky.social. Why SEND labels & information from EHCPs are hard to process in useful ways for complex of classrooms:

Has anyone delivered functional skills lessons in secure units? Category A-D prisons, young offenders (YOIs) or secure children’s homes.

I'm not convinced that 'SEN units' in mainstream schools is what #inclusion means. Imo inclusion is not just about being in the same physical location. It's about an attitude and approach that includes learners with SEND as part of mainstream provision.

Diabetes is a strange beast. A few days ago I was in A&E with ketones and high blood glucose. Now I’m managing low blood sugars and migraines.

Beyond phonics: why England still has a reading problem The latest phonics screening check data is further proof that teaching reading is not β€˜done’ at the end of KS1, writes Claire Heald

Excellent @tesmagazine.bsky.social article by @claireheald.bsky.social:

β€˜Beyond phonics: why England still has a reading problem’

β€œIt’s time to stop thinking of reading as something we sort out in Year 1 and Year 2, or even just in primary.”
