I know a couple of teachers who have recently decided they want to come back into the classroom after a break but they don’t know where to look for jobs since TES is so quiet over the break. Do they just need to wait for September?

Disastrous collapse in education in understanding our world. Failing to provide a basis for systemic thinking.
"While 56% of AS or A-level students studied a humanities subject in 2015/16, only 38% studied one in 2021/22"

Horrific news from Gaza City. Israel continues to commit massacres with impunity. This is the third worst massacre since Israel began its genocide against Palestinians. The UK government must immediately #StopArmingIsrael and end all complicity in its violence and apartheid.
BREAKING: More than 100 Palestinians have been killed following an Israeli attack on a school in the centre of Gaza City, according to the report.

Disappointing but unsurprising response from @UKLabour.

Lots of people suddenly finding it very easy to separate the actions of a group of violent extremists from the ideology and behaviour of an entire ethnic group.
Can we please stop both siding the far right now? This is who the majority are. Time to stop platforming those that spread hate for clicks and media attention.

Truly fascinating to observe the levels of hostility and disrespect Zarah Sultana encounters whenever she goes on TV to say controversial things like racism and child poverty are bad. Left wing and not one of the lads.
Whilst it’s extremely heartening to see so many people standing up against racism, I’m genuinely confused why @Keir_Starmer has not been around today.
Communities have come out because the government has been missing in action. @UKLabour your silence has been very loud today.

BREAKING: Heavy sentences being handed out to rioters.
Derek Drummond, 58, of Pool Street, Southport, has just been sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to three years in prison after he admitted violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker in Southport last Tuesday night.
Extremely worrying. Stay safe and please look out for one another.
🚨 BREAKING: Police are now aware of over 100 planned protests across the UK tonight - 70 more than previously expected

Any group that convenes must include teachers or educational staff that are Muslim, Black, People of Colour and actually from the minority communities currently under attack.

so we've found our Bad Guy then; noone from the UK, noone in politics, noone in our media. Just a guy everyone already dislikes and who we cannot and will not actually punish.
Good point. I also know far too many schools who completely refused to talk about Palestine.
This does not make schools safer. It means schools have been remiss in their safeguarding duties as they have potentially not picked up on students that picked up on far-right rhetoric.
