A Deputy Head of a Primary school said to me today: The #earlyyears is the most important stage of #primaryeducation. If you get it wrong, you spend the next 6 years trying to put it right. If you get it right, you can spend the next 6 years building on it. Couldn't agree more

The problem is no-one has explained The Voice to Peter Dutton in a way he can understand. Quite simply, it’s a dedicated body that exists to help shape government policy. Like News Corp, but for Indigenous Australians.

As a father of two kids, I spent tons of hours finding the right books for my kids. And then, I spent another tons of hours making a list of the 100 best children’s books to read with your kids! Enjoy! abakcus.com/100-best-childre…

The complexity of leadership increases when positional responsibility does, however the essence of a good leader remains the same. The ‘soft skills’ (I loathe that term) are essential to apply the technical or transformational aspects.

The @Dom_Perrottet Government has failed students and teachers. When they walk in, we walk out! #MoreThanThanks

This is what happens when you fail teachers   ✔️ Highest number of vacant positions in a decade ✔️ 3,311 positions vacant in November ✔️ 60% looking to leave in the next 5 years ✔️ Rate of young teachers leaving - 13 year high   Teachers won’t stay under Perrottet.

If you want the alleged: holidays great pay finish at 3pm easy working conditions weekends and evenings off then be a teacher yourself. Theres a recruitment crisis, we need as many new people as we can get. There’s loads of ways to get into it. I’d be happy to help.

I am speechless 😶 Bitterly, bitterly disappointed ☹️ and furious. 🤬 A real pay cut and no movement on workload for teachers.

PARENT: Why is my child failing? TEACHER: They don’t pay attention to anything we do in class. In fact, I’ve been trying to reach you to see how we can work together to solve this issue. ADMIN TO TEACHER: How can you motivate this student to pay attention in your class? 😔🙄😡

We never hear in health the problems are because there are lazy nurses or doctors. We hear about failing in the health system. Yet in education the whole dialogue is how can we improve teachers? Why is this so different? #NC22 #ACEL

How many red flags do Governments need before public education hits the fan…Gonski needs based funding trashed by Abbott/Joyce. @Dom_Perrottet trying to reinvent union bashing to avoid the elephant in the room,teachers leaving…divided society based on wealth of parents.

A reminder that the only way to solve the teacher shortage is to pay ALL teachers a competitive salary with increased planning time for ALL teachers. Teachers and parents won’t be fooled by distractions. #MoreThanThanks

The teacher shortage is a myth. What we have is a shortage of people who are willing to be overworked, underpaid and disrespected, all while doing the most important job in the world. 🍎 #nced
