That’s Dr "activist with a massive chip on their shoulder about schools" to you. Teacher, writer, agitator. Witches of Scotland. In the mood to burn it all down

@Tonestiger @CtRLsMaNkYLOL @Andherewego__ @UnclePeaRuckus Exactly! I teach it in school but it’s a losing battle if it’s not a consistent message across school and if parents to are racist/ignorant.

@CtRLsMaNkYLOL @Tonestiger @Andherewego__ @UnclePeaRuckus It’s easy to not be self-reflective if you’re white because we move around in a bubble of skin privilege. These racist men (are they’re mostly men or their hangers on or women who see power possibilities) are fixated on power. They’re fed a lie it’s “foreigners” taking it.

@CtRLsMaNkYLOL @Tonestiger @Andherewego__ @UnclePeaRuckus They (all of us, really) are just numberless non entities who are either an obstacle (us: ✊✊🏿) or useful idiots (racists etc.). Imagine what we could accomplish if we thought critically and rose up.

@Tonestiger @CtRLsMaNkYLOL @Andherewego__ @UnclePeaRuckus I’m so sorry you guys put up with this relentless shit. Imagine being so full of hate you waste your precious life attacking people on the internet for being Black. Cuntery.

@johncosgrove405 The problem is that most teachers want quick fixes. Fwiw I think the horse has bolted and we need to think about the positives and exploit them a bit more.

@GatissJude33563 100%!!! And I say this an English teacher who moved sideways because standard English teaching was making me insane.

@ShakinthatChalk I got rid of my dryer and have a Samsung washer that puts up with a lot of abuse and sings me a wee song when he’s finished his job. Get a plug in drying rack. Much cheaper.

@El49150826 @lathan_miss @suzannezeedyk 😂 remember, there’s also evidence that swearing can help manage pain and stress - something we deffo need in our line of work 😂

@El49150826 @lathan_miss @suzannezeedyk I’m a writer and teacher of English and I have to say, swearing has been around forever. Language evolves - for example, “cunt” (my absolute favourite swear word for a multitude of reasons) is Middle English, of Germanic origins. Fascinating.
