We stopped and talked about the characters, the plot and the writing from time to time, but how could I get them GCSE-ready in a day? No chance. So we read, and we talked and we read some more.

No, Mr Carter. Absolutely not. Parents have already paid for it in taxes. It is the government’s duty to provide it. Sending schools out with a begging bowl is a shocking policy recommendation. AND IT IS UNJUST! TEACHERS IN POORER CATCHMENTS WILL GET LESS CPD THAN THEIR PEERS.

I’m reading so many tweets with “if there’s one upside” or “the silver lining” or “the good thing to come out of this” No. Just no. Not now. Not later. Not after. Christ on a bike. It hasn’t even started.

I have had all the evidence I need today to conclude that there’s an epic mental health crisis a-brewin’. Feels like the social fabric itself is fraying.

“It happened so quietly that most people didn’t notice. The entire Ofsted schtick collapsed, and only smoke and mirrors can now continue to persuade anyone that the house of cards still stands.” My latest on the @tes blog.

@Samfr I don’t see what’s a bad idea about a legal presumption that home time is home time, or an onus on companies to hold themselves accountable to guidelines for what’s reasonable. In fact, undefined “plus reasonable expectations” is the absolute worse thing on a teacher’s contract.

Is a school that's been 'good' for the past decade without ever attaining an 'outstanding' judgment 'stuck'? Is a school that's been 'outstanding' for a decade but hasn't reached out to a struggling neighbour 'stuck'?

The first rule of education policy is: You don’t mess with Early Years teachers. The second rule of education policy is: YOU DON’T MESS WITH EARLY YEARS TEACHERS. 💪🧡👇

'When it comes to the youngest children, Ofsted needs to choose its words with care. Early years teachers are preparing to be the backstop against a regime they see as increasingly formal, and they are not in the mood to make a deal' says @teshelen

@ggreenwald Hopefully enough people on Park Avenue realise they didn’t just get there by working their butts off, but by the luck of birth and privilege. People everywhere work their butts off or would given a chance

I went on strike as a 15yo. Yes, we were quite chuffed to skip school. We also forced the French govt to repeal a school finance law that would’ve seen more of public school money handed to private schools. So we helped more kids stay in well-funded schools. 🤯

Which kinda implies that the point was skipping school for the day
