This week, in celebration of #IWD, staff members wear badges showing the name and image of a woman they admire, encouraging students to ask about these women. What changes did she make, and why is she a hero? Who would be on your badge? Happy #InternationalWomensDay from BGS.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?" She instantly replied "yes." Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

Whole Class Feedback 🧵 1/ I love WCF. Not just because it has transformed my work balance (traditional book marking in English is a different class of madness). I love it because it facilitates greater understanding of where my students are, which makes me a better teacher.

Such a privilege to read from this at the launch this morning. Wonderful to hear the words aloud and so alive. Many thanks to Susmita for judging the 2020 flash awards and to Amanda and Gaynor at Retreat West.

I’ve not written or submitted anything for MONTHS. Work has been overwhelming & inspiration has been low. But teacher-assessed grades have been submitted & this arrived in the post with my story from December, so hoping I can breathe, read and get back on track! @reflexfiction

Finally got a chance to sit and read Among These Animals by @Jonzeywriter and it’s so good- subtle, beautiful, relatable. I heartily recommend! #novellainflash
