Cannot believe the BBC (BBC Breakfast) are perpetuating the myth that teachers stopped teaching during the COVID lockdowns. Schools didn’t fully close. Teachers kept teaching. Teachers aren’t punching bags. Look elsewhere.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Does it count as the #4oclockclub if you haven’t been to sleep yet? #maternityleave with an 11 weeks old who seems to be doing an experiment on me to see how long a person can go without sleep.

Really proud of my students. AQA CompSci looks like students have had the better chance of attaining higher grades. So proud!

Why did I leave the nappy caddy downstairs?!

4am and Wee Man needs a full change of clothes so I’m downstairs having fully changed him, sat on the sofa, watching The West Wing with a mosquito trying to bite us and the wind blowing very strongly outside.

I need to sleep.
