Here is an ongoing list of competitions for students to enter - some many not necessarily jump out as 'geography' but what's stopping your students entering science and English compeitions when using a geographical theme?

Is it ok to ‘just’ want to be a teacher? Got told today I’m selling myself short as a bog-standard teacher. Kind of upsetting in all honesty when people use terms like that

🧵 I’ve wanted to be a teacher since 1994 after undertaking my geography coursework on the settlements of Rocinha. Today I got to visit. I WILL START OFF BY SAYING - STOP TEACHING ABOUT THIS FAVELA FROM YOUR TEXT BOOKS

It is…and then I also think about the mother driving her 16 year old daughter to his house. She is complicit in this ~ we can all say what we would do as parents but my child would not be driven by me to a 31 year old man’s house.

I have sweet closure today. The ex-line manager who made my life hell, told me that students were more important than my 8 month old baby & refused to let me go on a free period to take her to the Drs (she ended up in hospital with RSV the same night!) has been made REDUNDANT

If you’re worrying about wearing a mask in the classroom & kids not hearing,don’t be,you can buy a mic headset from Amazon.
If you’re worrying about being cold because you’ve got all the windows open, don’t be. You can buy thermals from Primark.
PS this is teaching in Yemen.

This is the craziest tweet I think I’ve ever read from an educator. Absolutely no way is my job in secondary harder. Hats off to all EYFS & reception teachers and thanks for all you do! I couldn’t do my job without you teaching them to read.

Gender and geography is often missed out at Key Stage 3. Yes we teach about sport or coflicts but do we go into enough detail about how different genders are affected by the same events? Really excited to have produced a booklet, scheme of work and slides to share.

Feel free to add to this thread but here are some things you can do to decolonize your geography curriculum:
1) stop teaching ‘Africa’ as an example. It’s a wide and varied place with excellent innovations and not your poverty hotspot!

No. My mum has been a widow for nearly 30 years. My dad died of cancer at 39. She never remarried and has paid basic tax her whole life because of a naval pension (death in service). That winter fuel payment is the difference between keeping warm or not this winter.

I think you will find it is the others that you need to work with. Stop expecting Black women to make you comfortable for your mistake (not once but twice). You all need some serious EDI training. Really, really disappointed your social media team.

It gets easier when they can entertain themselves - so around 3 😂 but seriously there is an issue with your school if you are working after 6. Stop it. Single parent here. Meal prep. Get a cleaner. Don’t take work home. Your baby is more important than working in eve

What I’ve really noticed about the responses from members of your school to the original tweet is the utter class you’re displaying. You’re doing better than most adults in how they respond (especially some teachers). Great kids, you should be proud of yourselves.

Did you have to @ her? Why do you care what she is doing in her personal life? We, as people not in her day to day life have absolutely no clue what she went through. We have the media fishing for titbits that they can spin any story and you bought in to it.

Paper from June 2023 from Cambridge. Q is ‘Explain why arrival of large number of migrants from LEDCS may cause problems for countries in Europe’…and here is said mark scheme. And we wonder why we have a problem with racism when we have to teach like this.

You’re right they are the responsibility of the parents but in answer to your first question: probably at work!
A more important question would be: where are the organised activities for these kids to do? What happened to social clubs like I had in the 80s/90s?
