There is a terrible shortage of foster carers. If you’ve ever been curious about fostering, get in touch with Now Foster. They’ve launched a new programme to make the whole process much easier. nowfoster.org

More than 10,000 young people in writing groups in schools, more than 500 anthologies of their stories and poems - amazing to celebrate @FirstStory’s 15th birthday yesterday. dailymail.co.uk/femail/article…
Britain’s news domination by the story of an unnamed BBC presenter who may or may not have been a sexual harasser is a grim reminder of what an insular & gossipy country this is. Barring Wimbledon apparently there’s nothing else happening
As I walked out of the staffroom I noticed something which left me reaching for the mug @lucykellaway @NowTeachOrg #ifyouknowyouknow
Whenever I see Europeans fretting about falling behind the US in terms of GDP, I think about stories like this ft.com/content/13c66e…
Do you, like me, get anxious on days when the Duchess of Cambridge is not on the front page of the Times? But today order has been restored and I can go about my business feeling all is right with the world
19 years since I totalled myself. No great sage advice if you’re facing something catastrophic. All you can do is keep going. MLK puts it better “If you can’t fly, run, if you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl. But whatever you do, just keep moving forward”.
@bertsbooks Just finished the excellent Re-Educated by @lucykellaway Recommended.
Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.
@lucykellaway Ive just finished reading ‘Re-educated and really enjoyed the account of the ups and downs of starting teaching later in life. It resonated with me as I trained to teach aged 44.
@kirstinParkins1 @lucykellaway I think this is a misreading. The author has something very pertinent to say about the character and importance of place attachments, which is rarely incorporated into analyses of the region and its development. She is on to something and hope she develops this insight further.
Lucy's @lucykellaway Re-educated was one of my favourite books this year. There's definitely another in these insights into different outlooks in different geographies & the place of love in education. Hope so anyway ft.com/content/55f6cd…
Much insight here: not saying there aren't issues, but general acceptance of people as they come, and recognising that what you have is good enough are great qualities I love about the NE and its people
Just about to do Christmas mass with my students in North East. Here is what I’ve written about my first term teaching here ft.com/content/55f6cd…
Totally agree with what @lucykellaway wrote in the Sunday Times about #ofsted. My school has probably wasted 1000 hours on curriculum sequencing in 2022
@RobinWigg @CkLorentzen @FTAlphaville @Louis_Ashworth 👏👏👏 I am delighted by this headline! I still fondly remember a headline I wasn't allowed to put on a @lucykellaway interview with Bob Ayling that made specific reference to his bouffant hair back in the day at the FT: The man with the blow-dried job. Still gutted.
@lucykellaway I hope your first term has gone well (and you’ve found your glasses). Teaching is lucky to have you but please keep writing the odd piece for the FT. Your clarity and sanity is very much needed.
Kwarteng promising that Truss govt will be "unashamedly pro-growth". As opposed to what? Cringingly anti-growth? Where did this idea come from that the UK has stagnated because every previous govt was too *embarrassed* to expand GDP?ft.com/content/3c067e…
I can never decide if my brilliant ex-colleague @lucykellaway's refusal to languish in her comfort zone makes her fabulously bonkers or fabulously brave. More evidence here for both the prosecution and defence. ft.com/content/1af48b…
Hi @lucykellaway - just finished your book. It is wonderful and I highly recommend it. Your initial experiences in teaching remind me so much of mine! I changed into teaching at 32 in 2005 and still love it. Hope the orange worktop always brings you joy.
