I'd like to do my thing of gifting a class/teacher a full free class set of whatever their novel is when they get back to school. So what is your first class novel? Which year? Why? I'll pick someone and send them your way so your year gets off to a ripper. RTs appreciated.

You aren’t really a teacher until you’ve cried in your headteacher’s office… right?

One last time for the people at the back (and @Telegraph). 1,265 is not the total number of hours teachers work per year. It’s the total number of hours they can be told *where* to work. If teachers only did those hours, the school system would collapse.

Throwing teachers in the deep end and letting them sink or swim doesn’t work if there aren’t any staff to replace the ones that sink. Support your staff. Thanks for attending todays TedTalk.

1. Lack of respect 2. Sense of entitlement Two huge problems in our society. Schools need backing to: 1. Not tolerate lack of respect/basic manners - proper consequences 2. Rejection of ‘demands’ of those parents/students who expect everything without any responsibility

Everyone needs someone who they feel is in their corner and will fight for them, encourage them, and build them up. Be that one to someone this week.

I don’t know which teacher needs to hear this, but you don’t have to spend the first day of half term cleaning your house. #edutwitter

Has Covid-19 forced you to wear a mask and glasses at the same time? You may be entitled to condensation.
