1) I saw two shooting stars last night 2) I wished on them but they were only satellites 3) Is it wrong to wish on space hardware? 4) I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care 5) I don't want to change the world

A dictatorship hosting another dictatorship to negotiate with an aspiring dictatorship about the future of a democracy that’s not represented.

Emma is so, so correct here. I recently heard if the death if a child I taught just a couple of years ago. She wouldn't yet have chosen her GCSEs. Was each of her school days worth going in for? On its own terms not 'just' because of some exams she'd never take amor a job she'll never have?

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

If you think about potential warning signs that a system isn't meeting needs, an increase in exclusions and a decrease in attendance would be two obvious ones to look for. The DfE is not going to be able to increase #inclusion simply by Ofsted-ing it. They have to look at the wider system. #EduSky

We're compiling every single incident of hound mistreatment and neglect from the last 3 years and the early numbers are shocking! protectthewild.substack.com/p/over-500-i...

New video! 👀 GBNews has a brand new presenter to fill the gap in their anti-migrant coverage! His name is Matthew Goodwin & luckily enough he knows HOW TO STOP AN INVASION! Is this the solution at last? I looked into it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyKI...

The Social Justice special issue of ATM’s Mathematics Teaching Journal is now available online and has been made ‘open access’ to all, so please do share with colleagues. It includes articles by Alf Coles, Pete Wright, Rose Griffiths and many more. atm.org.uk/write/MediaU...

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.

"Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang discusses what the science of learning is and why learning is social, emotional, and cognitive all at once." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddWh...

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Wes Streetings decision to ban puberty blockers should be called out for what it is. He's playing culture wars where trans & non binary youth are collateral damage & Labour dance to Reforms tune. An attack on trans people is an attack on our LGBTQ+ community. We must say no.

Hugely significant report from @amnesty.org finds Israel has perpetrated 3 acts against Palestinians in Gaza which are prohibited under genocide convention Overwhelming case for full UK arms sales ban & for UK to fulfil duty to prevent further genocide vimeo.com/1035909869 @amnestyuk.bsky.social

Very interesting watching this unfold, having spent years working on it cross sector and a few years researching belonging... www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

The bit from Ofsted that I'm quoting here on the right really demonstrates how the idea that learning = memory is distorting everything. In early years it just feels bizarre for them to be so obsessed with this notion.

Interesting reflection on the recent OECD report about secondary mathematics pathways for all learners in England. 👇🏽 @atmmathematics.bsky.social @mathematicala.bsky.social @thejmcuk.bsky.social @learningmaths.bsky.social @markboylan.bsky.social

Self reflection required when this is the outcome - change required. www.mathshorizons.uk/post/teacher...

Marie Joubert and I are delighted to share our report for the JMC building on the Royal Society‘s Mathematical Futures thinking. A vision for meaningful data education across the four nations of the UK. It’s a vision, it’s ambitious! Link and 🧵👇🏽
