@Sharifahlee4 100% what he says, but this resonates: “You are the abolitionists, anti-apartheid, freedom fighters of today, and there is no greater honor or a higher purpose in life than to help free a slave, or an otherwise oppressed human being. This is the pinnacle of humanity.”

A former inspector and headteacher, who asked not to be named, said: “It is a completely subjective judgment, dressed up as an objective one.” She said the lead inspector would typically make up their mind in the first 10 minutes, “and everything else is about justifying that” 😳

Why are (some?) HMI conducting inspections with a Covid-didn’t-happen-mentality when schools are still being disrupted through staff and pupil absence due to positive tests? Answers on a postcard and please.

The public accounts committee should begin a thorough investigation into the funding and wealth of the royals. I thought I knew royal greed – but King Charles profiting from the assets of the dead is a disgusting new low

So....no rant today.....an observation. How is it that we have ended up with some schools struggling to afford the basics from stationery to toilet paper, whilst others have money to spend on expensive hotels, Farrow & Ball paint and Parks candles? Discuss.

You either support this or condemn it. There is no sitting on the fence here. No, “I don’t know enough about it.” Especially if you profess to care about educating children and young people. Don’t like my bluntness? Unfollow me. @Sharifahlee4 @AlisonKriel @johncosgrove405

‘But chief executives from academies across England - who rarely speak out against the government - have told me off the record that inspections do need to change.’ Why off the record? Academy school bosses call for Ofsted rethink - BBC News

So why are we hell bent on MAT growth (think of all those companies profiteering from this) and forcing schools to join MATs? Council-run schools outperform academies in England, analysis shows | Schools | The Guardian

@DalrympleWill @RishiSunak Honestly, I can’t even bear to listen to any of them speak. They are the dregs of humanity, after the Zionists. Don’t @ me about being polite, I have nothing good to say about any of them.

@EmmaValerio82 @doxtdatorb @smithsmm @lehain @davowillz @greg_ashman I’m sorry but it does come across as insensitive. PoC continue to be under represented and ignored, so joking about it is hurtful. I have people DM’ing to say how upset they are, they dare not say anything publicly for fear of attack. Is that really the kind of edutwitter we want

@ProfSunnySingh This is NOT journalism @observer . Aghast at this email. It’s factually incorrect. KC was the one who publicly castigated a teacher for daring to criticise her book.
