Oh god what is this transcoding nonsense and why is it taking SO DAMN LONG. Posting a USB would have been so much quicker. @mrs_denglish
Today was the first day of 2024 I did duty sans coat. A important marker, albeit later than usual.
11. Finally my strong belief is that teachers are reasonably adjusting all the time as a matter of course. We know who will freeze on a cold call. We know the kids who can't for whatever reason sit up straight. Adjustments are applied.

It wasn't in a weekend but I read the bio summary of Shelley's life this week and it was exhausting. The man was forever on the go (and in an age before engines)

Overheard at school today. Sixth-former - "yeah I need a new Sim card because my friend swallowed mine". Sooooo many questions.
The key determining factor of the north-south divide is where you think of when someone mentions 'Bury'.
How can you argue our problem as a society is too much compassion when we have 2.2 million kids without enough food (according to official figures)? When we have 10% of kids in some boroughs living in temporary accomodation? When we have 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists?
This story is great but also fits in my theory of "in Britain, it's usually about class".

I am intrigued by Taylor Swift's desire to write apparently so obviously about exes. As in it's very explicit who she is writing about. Also intrigued by the men who are happy to potentially be ripped to shreds post rship.

I'm at Euston. I could spot all the Manchester Avanti passengers because they all were staring anxiously at the boards and then hurried off, faintly relieved, when the platform appeared.
This literally made me laugh out loud with its truth.
I've started watching Unforgotten* and it's playing havoc with my "it's probably the random famous actor" theory. Literally EVERYONE in this is well known. *it's great, can't believe I'm so late to this party
I've got to get Avanti twice this week. I am not looking forward to it.

They mentioned this in the Great Lives anniversary programme and it’s really interesting. There’s a similar reluctance by men to buy books by female authors.
@CarolAtherton8 I agree that S&L are important, but I'm not sure they should be assessed as part of the GCSE.
@acalicodress @CarolAtherton8 It's becoming harder and harder to sell it to them too.
@JoBullen1 @CarolAtherton8 I’ve honestly contemplated just not doing it… because ultimately, when we’re honest with ourselves… what’s it for? Like when we really think… is it actually useful? Worth it?
@MisterLJones @CarolAtherton8 Luke, I have this debate at least 4 times a year! I had an idea to say they could all do it but after 4pm on a Friday. So we could tick 'yes, they've had the opportunity...' 😂 the number who just refuse to do it now.
@CarolAtherton8 It either needs to be worth more, not exist or involve significantly less admin. It used to be worth 20% and involve a bit of paperwork and it makes zero sense.
@TeacherBusy Today, I had ‘So Miss, how many English Literature papers are there?’ 😱😱😱
Spent two hours today mired in the annual faff of Spoken Language NEA admin. Never were so many filenames toiled over by so many English teachers for so little. Speaking and Listening ought to be so much more important than it is in the current incarnation of GCSE.

My face when year 11 tell me that they watched this great revision video on TikTok and recount everything I’ve spent weeks and months telling them in a classroom.
@mrianleslie It's a success because if you'd held a referendum to try and reverse it you would lose by a lot.
You used to be able to use how many job adverts a school had as a proxy for the working conditions/workload of the school, but now there's so many positions in EVERY school you can't even use that. Grim.
Just my copy of this, @DavidDidau. Looks amazing. Well done to the team. So interesting to look at how others structure curriculums. Would love to see more and others. 👍
Enjoyed writing this but on the dreaded ‘managing up’, which so often falls to middle leaders who have both their finger on the pulse, and an understanding of broader school strategy.
"you should always approach managing up with due humility and charity. A revolutionary zeal may play well with your team, but firing off emails to SLT every time you hear a gripe or grumble is unlikely to be effective or appreciated." Sound advice from @jon_hutchinson_
I am missing a lesson from each of my three Y13 groups when I'm on a trip this week. Having discarded the idea of all 44 doing a timed essay for me to mark, I decided on this...
Now you may be asking*, "Jonn, wouldn't it make more sense if they just went in order without interruption?" To which I would respond: I no longer know. I no longer care. I am going to die on this loop. I shall become the loop. THE SUPERLOOP BECOMES ME
It’s pay day. I feel grumpy. I’ve ordered a Chinese takeaway on a Tuesday and don’t care.
Re-reading The Trouble with English and its chapter on assessment. This sentence really leapt out at me 'a debate in English isn't necessarily winnable'. I wholeheartedly agree and I think the same is true of some elements of educational debate. I'm noting to myself to 1/
