Everyday brings new stupidities from government and especially the DfE. Schools are in crisis, they're falling down, educators leaving in droves & recruitment in free fall. A perfect storm of national decline and yet Keegan blames the canary in the coalmine. Staggering.🤦
THIS MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!
The Education Secretary has just sneaked out an outrageous video blaming teachers for the disruption in schools which the Govt itself was responsible for & threatening to rob them of their democratic right to strike
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM UK MEDIA!?

When will people wake up to the fact that Ofsted is not fit for purpose. It is a highly ideological tool of the DfE designed to create fear and compliance.
Our local primary Head took her own life after an Ofsted visit. There are many things that make my blood boil about the education system, but this is just heartbreakingly awful. Something has to change.

This is not a surprise to those in the profession.
There's been a disastrous loss of experienced teachers from the profession and not enough people are aware of it, or talking about it.
Even more worrying, not enough is being done to stop the over-50s leaving.

Chief Inspector admits schools in more affluent areas are awarded better grades than schools in deprived areas.
But that’s ok because disadvantaged schools are more likely to have their leadership rated more highly.

Something is also being missed here as well. Ofsted is not simply broken, it is an ideological tool that is the pipeline for academisation and thus the stealth privatisation of state schools into academies. Ofsted has been weaponised and must be broken up.
Observer today.
And in my DM inbox this morning a HT of a school inspected since the tragedy of Ruth Perry saying the lead inspector came in with an agenda, found ‘evidence’ to back it and destroyed a good school.
This HAS to stop. Toxic, Toxic, Ofsted.

This is a good point.
Dear Boris Johnson
You said that GCSE exams for this year were cancelled. They're not cancelled. They're called 'assessments'. And instead of examiners marking them, teachers are. For no money. But the schools have paid the exam boards. Where's the money?

🚨📢👇 This. Academisation is a stealth privatisation of state education. It's iniquitous, pernicious and designed to kill local accountability.
@antiacademies
I don’t know if people still consider Momentum to be representative of anything, but I think a big failing of the left is not being more critical of their output. I’m totally against private education, but where is the campaign to reverse academisation? This isn’t serious.

Except for staff working in primary schools, who will be asked to meet up with 15 pupils in an indoor space. This is already a moment of anxiety and stress for many staff, parents and pupils. Please remember young children do not understand social distancing.
#FollowTheScience
From today, in England, you will be allowed to meet up to five friends in public outdoor places or in your garden. This will be a moment of joy and relief for many.
Please remember to keep 2 metres away from those you don’t live with, and wash your hands regularly.
