When @ScottPughsley delivers this from a student who came to the country speaking no English, who you haven’t taught for 2 years! Made me remember just how privileged I am to walk into my school each day in the hope of making a difference❤️

@Miss_Snuffy Do you not agree a 7am meeting is damaging work life balance though? What about those parents who want to drop their children off at school or god forbid even a breakfast club?🤔

@garethkthomas I don’t see the issue? How do you expect anyone to learn without clear rules and routines? Would you send your children to a school where the things highlighted in this document were dealt with by way of a restorative chat or even worse not dealt with? 🤔

Hearing that my daughter is a “clever, kind and caring person” filled me with the most immense pride at her parents evening tonight❤️❤️❤️ I knew all of this anyway but hearing her teachers say it just hits different😊

@missWalker_edu I don’t necessarily see it as a trust issue or wasn’t looking at it from that perspective. I was thinking more collegiality, showing that there’s nothing us as staff wouldn’t do that we’re asking the students to do.

Couldn’t be any more proud of our (my🙊) ECT’s this half term. A fantastic collective who not only want to better themselves but the students they serve - they’re in the profession for the right reasons 👏🏻

@ScottPughsley I think it would be great. Would surely eliminate half of the uniform battles staff have daily with students if the students saw staff wearing the exact same?🤔

It baffles me that educators are really accepting of students coming to school without a pen? Would you be as happy if a builder you were hiring turned up to build a wall without bricks or a trowel? RAISE YOUR STANDARDS OR YOU ARE SETTING STUDENTS UP TO FAIL!!

Arrange that night out or catch up over a coffee, if you haven't spoken for a while, call, visit or text. Life has changed so much, certainly post covid, and the years seem to fly so fast. You never know when that chance will be gone and it's too late 💔

@adamboxer1 Most will resort to “playing the game” and then actually doing what they’re seeing as good practice within the school. In my experience a lot of ITT providers are way out of touch with reality

@RogersHistory People hate them because they actually hold students to account and most like to make excuses for students as opposed to challenging the norm and having high standards and aspirations for said students. Imagine having to hold students to account 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄😂

@RogersHistory Done well it will probably be great and will hopefully entice good people into teaching. However, given the state of workload currently I can see it being a massive burden to a lot of schools who may not have the time to invest but will feel obliged to take an apprentice.

@AP_Teaching @m_chiles I disagree. If you accept a child telling you to “f*** off” what else are you willing to accept?? Challenge poor parenting, challenge the norm. We only set them up for a life of failure by not challenging this so called accepted norm!!

Some teachers choose to work in the toughest environments knowing they will often get the least 'visibility', highest scrutiny and most challenging behaviour. Doing this year in, year out (not for 5 mins) is the 'D-Day 1st wave' of teaching and I personally respect anyone who

@Catheri01586441 How you interpret business dress differs massively and in my opinion it’s much easier for women to dress with more expression in business wear than men. Just a thought - let’s be honest it’s never going to happen

@beccagotbricks Dress codes are open to interpretation - what I deem as business attire some may deem as casual and vice versa. I think a uniform would look smart and remove any ambiguity when asking students to dress a certain way
