The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window…

I’ve been very self indulgent with my Black History Month assembly this year. Telling the story of modern South Africa through the life of Lucas Radebe.

What would Orwell think about a huge face on a gigantic screen telling a crowd of people they should wage war on foreigners and dissidents? No way of knowing, I guess.
When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"
So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure.
It's capital.
The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Thanks to the great things I’ve been seeing on here from @counsellc.bsky.social, @hughrichards.bsky.social and @petejackson.bsky.social I’ve been really enjoying adding more short narratives to read at starts of lessons to next year’s booklets. Here are British Raj, Opium Wars & Yellow River Floods

Needy enjoying re-writing our A-Leven British Empire booklets to take a more non-fiction, narrative tone. I’m trying to world build with contemporary quotes as much as possible.

If my kids' headteacher tweeted "'British’ is a term that allows us to keep ‘English’ for the white English", we would move schools. But of course she wouldn't say that, and nor would any other head in the UK except Birbalsingh, who has been driven mad by the attention of the rightwing media

2024 was the year of a seismic shift for Leeds United, one which will not only define its future but has fundamentally altered what Leeds United is. 🧵 #lufc

Every week it blows my mind how many Leeds fans are “fuming” after games where we’re top of the league. These are the good time! Enjoy the ride!

Does anyone have any good recommendations for blogs/resources about using story telling in the History classroom? Anything is practical discussion/recommendations of how they can be used in the classroom would be great.

I am all on board with the love for mini-white boards online at the moment coming from teachers like @adamboxereducation.bsky.social but I think hand signals for AfL should be getting just as much attention for quick assessment and responsive teaching.

Two really useful and time saving uses for ChatGPT this morning. 1 Creating cover work reading & comprehension tasks. 2. Generating substantive knowledge revision questions from lesson resources to upload to @carousel-learning.bsky.social. Both processes saved to GPTs so I can repeat later.
