I am relinquishing my role as editor of @TeachTalks
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to, replied, commented on, liked (or not) my tweets. My interest in education (& health, music, art, dog walking) remains.
I continue to tweet in a personal capacity as @whichoneispink
If you’ve followed me here please follow me at @whichoneispink as well, where I post thoughts, ideas, news and views on #education but so much more too

@theJeremyVine my question would be: why and how has New Zealand managed the #COVID19 epidemic so much better than the UK has?
Politicians are all for basing decisions on expert advice in the current climate so why not when it comes to education?

The truth is that life is not going to feel certain for some time. Nor can teachers make it so. You are a human like everyone else and children’s safety and learning is a true partnership now..

Seconded. Messages received from other parents would all echo this. Well done to all @tweetswchs @Morsecat
I'm so impressed with the calm, frank and regular communication from eldest's school and the sheer effort that must be going in to setting up a virtual learning programme within days. Hats off to you @Morsecat and SWCHS staff 👏👏👏
