Thank you.

Missing the banter of EduTwitter? I am but don’t miss the craziness and pile ons. Enjoyed this discussion about the changing use of social media by educators. Thanks Tom and Adam.

Back to School Tortoise is a favourite and ideal for that first day when we’re all feeling a bit awkward and stiff. We’ll hopefully have a giggle together.

Not surprised but still sad to see the figure about head teachers.

Absolutely tragic.

I hadn’t realised how far my teaching has gone towards tech first, teacher second. Why? I don’t know. Time poor? Juggling too many subjects? Stress? Lack of physical resources for 33 pupils e.g clocks? Thanks for this reminder. Follow up discussion here open.spotify.com/episode/0SUF...

Thank you for answering.

Thank you for answering.

Do we have the stats for Scotland? V few male teachers in my experience (primary).

Oh yes. Very much required. I also have antibacterial spray as the desks are cleaned but not the rest of the furniture.

Think Putin wrote his script.

I am so appalled. Zelensky was very strong but there is no reasoning with those 2. I hope Europe stands behind him.

Only things they should be cutting are class sizes and CAMHS waiting lists.

Be interested to hear about what is coming. Hoping the primary curriculum is significantly narrowed. #scotedusky

Brilliant. I remember Gavin coming to do training with us and we had photos in the staffroom of us in various states of sausage rollness up for months. 😎

Happy new year to you too. Thanks for speaking up and supporting educators.

So cute ☺️

Agree. Strange timing for exhausted teaching staff.

It’s the guns.

open.spotify.com/episode/36v2... Super episode linked to the use of smartphones on children. Interview with Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation. #ScotEduSky

#ScotEduSky incredible post here on ASN in Scotland. Almost half my pupils have ASN. Seems like this is becoming the new normal. Class size reduction and proper support essential. ASN teachers have been put back in class where I am. Make it make sense.

Wow. That really makes it clear. We never stood a chance at inclusion.

They better not lay blame at the school. Seems like they tried to raise red flags.

Oh yes. Can remember having a tea towel draped over our hands whilst we typed so we couldn’t see our fingers.

As an upper primary teacher of over 20 years, I have seen the change in children. I will be interested to see tonight’s programme.

Haidt. #ScotEduSky

Sounds great. I recently read a super book called The Anxious Generation which was all about the smart phones and children.

Great thanks. I will use #ScotEduSky ☺️

Is there a hashtag for Scottish education posts? Just finding my feet here. 🔎
