Does anyone remember the ladybirds for grown ups image of teacher yoga - caption something like ‘Lucy appreciated the wellbeing session but this was not getting her books marked’ I can’t find it - it was all over Twitter at one point. @funkypedagogy.bsky.social @jillberry102.bsky.social ?

A lot of discussion lately about the reasons for the decline of Eng Lit A-level.
Are the Gove curriculum & exam reforms to blame?
I don't think so, because the decline of Eng Lit / the humanities more broadly is a global trend.

The fall of Eng Lit
What is the cause, is it a problem - and if so, what can we do about it?

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

I’m reading up on teacher recruitment, but I don’t see clear patterns about what first brought people into teaching.
For me, it felt familiar - I thought I’d like it (especially reading) & I wasn’t sure about what career I wanted. I gave it a go to see.
How about other teachers, past & present?
