@Miss_LBleaks @teach_smith Ray Bradbury’s ‘Illustrated Man’ has some great sci-fi short stories and love teaching these.

This point by @Samfr is such an important one. GCSE and A-level teachers are facing an impossible situation. newstatesman.com/politics/educa…

Ill timed attack on #teachers by someone close to No10 after all that #schools are doing, but perhaps tells us what #Boris really thinks? Instead of writing about the “NEU problem” @JGForsyth perhaps engage with teachers, all hugely committed to children’s success? #r4today

@JRBoyd19 Case by case I guess. Will work for some departments - clearly. The idea of building community and belonging is a noble one though!

@JRBoyd19 You are lucky to have that community in your department. It isn’t always replicated... I think SLT would be cautious of this as they recognise the need for staff to communicate - their presence can skew this.

@JRBoyd19 Definitely agree re GandT and back filling for students. Regardless of decisions at a national level - we will need to rethink curriculum from here on to support gap fill and flexible and ‘radical’ leaders will be more effective at adapting to learning needs after COVID.

@JRBoyd19 I totally agree that we need to think again about how we do this and what’s best for students and society - I am not the visionary, sure on practicalities of how.

@JRBoyd19 Great points. The problem is in consistency of education provision and essentially admitting that we need to separate and classify students’ achievement in a convenient way for future workplaces. How would you solve that?

Radical idea to address children's wellbeing and education during the #COVID19 crisis... NO ONE goes up a year in September!!!! Cancel academics this year! Prioritise wellbeing and extracurricular / areas of fascination. Repeat the normal curriculum next year...
