Today queuing @Tesco a lady heard me talking about school and asked if I was a teacher, when I replied yes she said what a brilliant job we are all doing. This was the 1st time during the pandemic I’ve heard something positive about teachers. It was a lovely moment 😍

I really do get fed up with people telling me I should be a deputy or a head teacher. I don’t want that role. I’m not sure why being a teacher doesn’t seem to be enough long term and why leadership is expected🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ #teachertwitter

We are happy to be in school and stick to the rules but when, as staff, we hear children talking about what they are up to out of school- and their families very clearly not sticking to the rules- it makes us cross, it’s not fair! #COVID19
