WARNING. THIS IS A SCAM BY CRIMINALS TRYING TO STEAL MONEY. PLS SHARE. This is frightening, it's the first deep fake video scam I've seen with me in it. Govt & regulators must step up to stop big tech publishing such dangerous fakes. People'll lose money and it'll ruin lives.

Either an appallingly proofread SATs paper, or a nasty trick question? Either is unacceptable!
sara h 🇪🇺@lifeatthenest22 May 2023
This question on 2023 SATS paper is clearly wrong @educationgovuk You cannot put a square number on the line. You’ve obviously realised this so have put an option in the mark scheme whereby children can cross out a part of the question. Every child deserves compensatory mark.

Is someone going to tell Rishi that he’s not in charge of British education (and there’s already a Welsh Baccalaureate)? I’ll do the call if no one else is brave enough…

Just watched this again. I can't believe how much of this I still parrot; not sure anything has had so much impact upon how I think about how we improve the quality of teaching. Absolute gold dust & worth 40 minutes of your time this weekend. @dylanwiliam youtube.com/watch?v=wKLo15A8…

Let me tell you a story. This is Susan Lung. She taught me to read and write in a single year when I was 7 years old. I've been looking for Susan, hoping to thank her in person, for almost twenty years. And then she surprised me at my reading last night.

I left at 57. When I think about it for too long, I feel disappointed I didn't make it to 60. But 18 months of C19 did for me. After 18 years of headship (36 GCSE & A Level results days & set 18 budgets during terrible funding cuts) I was done. I wdn't have made 60 had I stayed.

The toll that being a headteacher takes on wellbeing leads to people walking away from what can feel like an impossible job bbc.co.uk/news/education-612…

More head teachers quitting within five years of taking jobs in England

One ex-head of a school in Derby said the 100-hour weeks made it the "loneliest job I've ever done".
