If you've seen the NEU's response to the Bell Report and think that's not for you, can I recommend @edaptuk, which provides edu-legal support to teachers and school staff without the political nonsense.

Today, one of my colleagues described a group of teachers smoking as them "grabbing a fag out the back".
The newly-hired Canadian teacher's eyebrows damn near hit the ceiling.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with Jewish children in Britain but you're all so racist you can't see that
Shout out to the gentleman who gets on my bus every morning, who this morning went "I see we're all here again, good morning"

If you need to see how far the left has fallen into a sewer of antisemitism, just look how they react towards a report written on the antisemitism Jewish schoolchildren experience in British schools.
An appalling disgrace that no other community would be expected to tolerate.
Some of the examiner feedback from Edexcel was that students are not using scientific terminology consistently or correctly. Having gone through their GCSE word banks, the same words in the same context are given multiple definitions, so frankly it's hardly surprising.
I would find it really funny if NJD get a My Chemical Romance-themed "black parade" jersey, equally if NSH get a Tailor Swift-inspired one ("tailor"-made)

Forensic analysis here from @BodilUK
The debate has now spread to two of my other classes and to my form group, so I think I might stir the pot a bit by showing them these two photos of 8-year-old me.
We have a five-minute grace period at the start of lessons before a student can be marked late. Do you know what happens? Children - and their parents - argue they shouldn't be sanctioned when they're six minutes late because it's only one minute past the grace period.
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced changes to car parking fines
- Drivers will have a 5-minute grace period to decide whether to park and 10 minutes to leave after a parking session ends
- A £20 maximum charge on appeal for minor mistakes, such as entering the wrong number plate or not displaying a permit
- Charges will also be cancelled on appeal for breakdowns, medical emergencies or broken ticket machines
- The £100 cap on charges will remain
- The rules will come into force as soon as possible and operators that break them will lose access to DVLA data
My next/current project is this subtle number.
I have another sweater on the go too, but sleeves are boring so it's parked until I finish one panel of this vest.
