Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

We have to remember that, traditionally, an incoming administration awards the various constituencies that got it elected with some sort of representation.

So the tech bros get Elon, anti-vax freaks get RFK Jr, dog killers get Noem, white nationalists get Hegseth, pedophiles get Gaetz...

You should probably get used to hearing this word a lot over the next few years.

Some positivity coming out of the DfE for the first time in years. It’s far too late for me but maybe a big change in approach could save some other teachers. The first glimmers of encouragement.

❌ The government's school standards tsar has said he's 'never seen teachers more enslaved', with some 'being told what to do' in 'every lesson'

He warned a 'narrow compliance culture' has blighted 'some classrooms'...

Amen to this, part of the reason myself and many others are no longer in the classroom. It’s one thing being aware of it though and another thing to do something to change it.🤞

So for one week in August, this was my view. An amazing week in Corolla, NC and the way I choose to remember the USA. We met lovely, kind people (including family who live in PA) and that gives me hope that things will get better eventually.

See you all at the dance tonight.
