It’s not really “breadth” is it if a slot isn’t filled by a language when this student enjoys science subjects- a MFL could help them get into a Russell Group uni, for example. And yet English is counting twice “for breadth”

Really interesting.
I think most educators could have predicted this.
The formal schooling system just isn’t set up for boys….

Girls are happier than boys at school, new research shows. This is why
Having more friends at school can make a major difference to a young student’s wellbeing

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Perhaps an unpopular opinion right now, but you’re not demonstrating subject “breadth” really, by leaving languages OUT, are you?

Not even the prompts. If you are a Twitter user in the UK and Twitter sticks a Grok CSAM image in your feed for WHATEVER reason, well congrats your device just downloaded child porn. And you are legally responsible for that.
Even if nobody wants to take action against Musk for building a CSAM generator, there are people using it who are based in the UK and those prompts are absolutely something that would get you on the sex offender's register. Absolutely no justification not to try to identify and prosecute users.

An interesting table shared by Gianfranco Conti on what distinguishes languages from other subjects. Shared on FB in the GILT group.

The curriculum review ‘treats teachers as the experts they are, acknowledges what’s working before rushing to dismantle it, and grounds every recommendation in evidence’, writes MAT chief @moremorrow.bsky.social
Why this curriculum review is a rare thing the sector should savour
After years of policy turbulence, we finally have an evidence-based blueprint for change that trusts teachers as the experts, writes MAT chief executive Dan Morrow

Reason number 103847 why you shouldn’t be on Twitter/X
Seriously.
You might think your education tweets aren’t doing anything but being active at all on it means you’re feeding this dangerous disinformation machine which is trying to destroy us.

I do not, I repeat, I do NOT want to go back on Twitter (until it’s called Twitter again as a start) but it’s quite sad on here, the lack of engagement. There’s been some massive AQA MFL news this week and there’s *no one* to discuss it.
Feel like I’m just chatting to myself…..!

I hope SLT in schools are aware of the farce currently happening as regards the new spec GCSE in MFL and in particular, the marking requirements for Paper 2 (25%) changing just last week, they went down like a lead balloon and AQA just last night have pulled them.

If I were a Head teacher I swear, uniform would be so simple. I’d have a white polo top, logo jumper and jogging bottoms. Shorts in summer. Black trainers.
Comfy, unisex.
Talking secondary here as well.
Enforcing Ties/blazers and constant battles over shoes? Nah.
Wouldn’t be bothered.

I saw that a teacher was among the people arrested over being in the protest in London for Palestine Action over the weekend.
Just curious, what would happen to this person upon return in Sept?
Btw not me or anyone I know!

What I am reading into the #curriculumandassessmentreview is that Primary MFL is on shaky ground and I can see it going.
Which, I’m not *actually* against. Obviously would be saddened for colleagues who teach primary languages but there’s just too much going on in the curriculum at primary…..

Unpopular opinion, but now I’m a parent I get it. I’d rather have 20-30 *genuine* words in a report about my son than 100 which are a non personal copy n paste job.
I need to tell nursery this….! 🤣
