Controversial opinion: Primary school writing should be about developing a love for writing. A desire to write. It should be where creativity is celebrated and enjoyed. A lot of the SPaG stuff can wait.
‘Parents respond well to one word judgements’… why doesn’t the government just admit that they think people are stupid? And how many people actually get a CHOICE of schools these days?!

What a nasty little country this man is making us.

There's no such thing as a 'sick note culture' - but there is a broken NHS, a meteoric rise in food banks, falling life expectancy, rising infant mortality, kids too hungry to learn, endemic poverty. Thanks @mattfrei for having me on to discuss this vindictive tripe from Sunak.

There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.
I am strongly in favour of the proposed ban on smoking. However I am also loving the comic potential of 55 year olds hanging around newsagents asking 56 year olds to buy their ciggies…
“Are you Anglo-Catholic or not?” Rejection of the priestly ministry of women is not something to gatekeep Anglo-Catholicism. Anglo-Catholic women exist, and we are glorious.

@benleo444 Hello Ben What you’ve done there is pop weather on the left and climate on the right. Now, buckle up, this is where it may get tricky for you. Weather (local thing) is driven by climate (planet thing). So. If we are seeing changes in the local thing, that’s because…
Ditto glasses. Going back even to being a child, I was asked to remove my glasses. The fact that I always wear them, and can see nothing of consequence without them meant nothing.
Sat in a coffee shop and noticed a little girl drawing the Union Jack in crayon. I pointed out she’d used maroon instead of traditional red so should probably start again. She mumbled something about not having another red so I kindly fished out my emergency Commemorative 1966…

First they put ticks on hot cross buns, and I said nothing because it seemed like a complete irrelevance. Then they changed the colours of the flag for a logo, and I said nothing because it seemed like a complete irrelevance. Then I realised that most of the stuff we squabble…
Journalism, educacioun, research, libraryes, museums, the arts - these are necessarye for the future and their benefits are literallye immeasurable. Bottom-line, profit-focused, quantification-obsessed approaches to these vital matters of the publique goode are a dysaster.
Not having a subscription to the Torygraph, I can’t read further. Mentally, my first ten months of being a church warden have been like no other. It’s been a real eye opener.

Not just in medicine either, sadly. Very tired of being perceived as condescending or ever aggressive for using the same language that a man might in the same position.

@dandouglas it's arguably just as concerning that some people might justify the pricing by describing it as luxury if the UK has got to the point where buying a singular can of beans and sausages is unironically considered a luxury purchase then we really are well and truly screwed
@TDSP_James @jackfifield He’s asking you to try to imagine if that was your situation - we refer to this practice as empathy. Can see this could be a challenge for you.
Maybe I am missing something here but if you tell them, and never ask, how do you know they understand it? Having told them do you just assume that they understand and remember?
This has been one of the best changes I’ve made to MY teaching instruction. I TELL them the answers; I NEVER ask them to guess. Instead of “what sound do you think this letter makes?” TELL THEM “this is the letter b and it says /b/.” Instead of “what do you think the word…
@thewootini @JamesAFurey How to control themselves?! Bloody hell
@godlywomanhood Your husband(or you for that matter)come near me in a public bathroom and I am prepared to defend myself and my children with equal or lesser force. Imagine a Mother not capable of peeing by herself or without male supervision. How on earth did you raise children?
@veritymusician @oldandrewuk @2Markdavid I have adopted an “ask first” policy when it comes to social media - keeps me out of arguments 🤣🤣
@MrDavidScales This makes me feel really, really sad. I work with SEN kids in mainstream. Way to make them feel excluded and pressured. Also it’s so GREY and dictatorial. There’s no love, warmth or care.
@veritymusician @pedalsandgears @naomicfisher You don't have to apologise. However, I'd probably take the cost argument more seriously if most schools didn't insist on £60 blazers and riveted sweatshop trousers and skirts at 5x the price and 5x lesser quality than the Asda equivalent.
@BrendaW36187388 They would not, of course. Tbh, they don't even get the criticism most of the time. I just anticipate that they *might*. I do recognise that this is a really unhelpful bit of preemptive internalised misogyny. (And I did send the email!)
@ruth_hw The important question is whether such emails would receive the same criticism if they were sent by a man?
I live in hope that there will come a day when I no longer worry that my (entirely appropriate, reasonable, and professional) emails come across as 'too much': too angry, too direct, too blunt..... Today is not that day.
@Sorley___ There was no jibe - love God and your neighbour is the core of Christian belief. I searched for and posted a church in the catholic tradition with an 8am service as you were seeking BCP. It was a good turn for a stranger on the internet.
@phillipsc I don't agree with WATCH here, and think it's unhelpful and wrong; but, not receiving the sacramental ministry of women IS a choice. All such interpretations of the faith, including mine, are in the end choices, even when we are sure they are inescapable and good.
@liambeadle I think it's clear that the vast majority of cases are not children being given small glasses of wine with appropriate adults, which feels like an extremely middle-class behaviour I hadn't heard of before x.com/hiddenyorkshir…
"I tried beer when I was 12 and I turned out fine" people are probably not best placed to explain why having vulnerable children with regular access to dangerous amounts of alcohol is bad and why it's probably not the only thing going on in their lives
