    Kier Starmer is worried about kids not being at school... He’s particularly worried about vulnerable children not being at school... Does anyone want to tell him where the vulnerable children have been? 🤦🏽‍♂️

    A boy I used to teach messaged on IG. Last time I saw him was GCSE results day 2013. His message said: I told you I was grateful and that I wouldn’t have made it through without you. You told me don’t be grateful be great. Now I’m doing my PhD and I still think about your words.

    I teach in our education system, I’m not an advocate of it, but I work in it. Almost daily I see people who do not go into schools saying “they don’t teach you about X in school” Almost always… it is something that I know is actually taught in schools. It’s annoying.

    I told the police officer who pulled me over what I do for a living. He said (looking into the car at me): are you sure? I said: oh now that you ask I’m not sure, can I have a minute to think? Him: no need to be cocky. Me: ask stupid questions, get stupid answers. 😤
