Etymology of the day is ‘tawdry’, meaning cheap, sordid, or in poor taste. It began as ‘St Audrey’s lace’: ribbons worn as necklaces to honour a 7th-century saint of Ely. Thanks to their often shoddy quality, ‘tawdry laces’ became linked to cheap or disreputable behaviour.

Excellent illustration of the misconception of sight words and what this means in terms of teacher/system knowledge and skill. Reading Recovery apologists have recently resurrected protests to my RR blog, and I will direct them to this in reply. pamelasnow.blogspot.com/2024…

This should be shared widely and understood by all for the systemic failure it is. Schools cannot do more with less. Pupils are entitled to an equitable education.

Strong security????
Minister for Education Norma Foley has said that school psychologists have been deployed to Parnell Square school "to offer every support."  She said there is strong security at schools but added "we have not seen this before - it is an enormous tragedy."

Hello All 👋🏻 I am asking for your help. I really need a few more participants for my PhD research. My research is focused on better understanding autistic girls' experiences of mainstream post-primary education in the Republic of Ireland. #AutismResearch
