@ictevangelist.bsky.social Hi Mark. Just wondered if you knew anything about meta glasses. I have been recording snippets of teachers with some. Do you know if they offer discounts for teachers in UK as well as US?

I've had an amazing day at Westfield College in Weymouth. The children are building sculptures of 'mountaineers' and this is the progress just today. The ideas, and the level of detail in the work is incredible, have a close look. These children all have additional needs. 👍

When I told SLT I was pregnant (in 2007) I was asked:
‘What kind of a working mother will you be? Will you be like …. Or be like…..’
Both were women teachers at school.
Has a man ever been asked this question when announcing he is due to be a father?

The day before this photo was taken, a teacher took me to one side and told me I’d better dress sensibly for the 6th form photo.
Couldn’t let him down!
I carefully pick my battles with students. He didn’t.
