I am hearing that @uniofnottingham.bsky.social is suspending (i.e shutting down) *all modern language courses* in 2026-27. One of the largest departments in the UK. A shocking short sighted move that damages regional and national prospects @britishacademy.bsky.social @hetanshah.bsky.social

Similar worries re: Languages for me, good to hear a non-linguist say this 💪🏻

Every day, schools achieve the impossible in plain sight. We just don’t stop often enough to notice.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

Just three days in and the altar continues to grow with more ofrendas. There’s a real buzz around school, with students and teachers visiting throughout the day. Initiatives like this, big or small, are a great way to raise the profile of our subject.

Can you help? Every now & then I witter on about washing & mending for a local clothing charity. We’ve done school uniform packs & now it’s time for Winter Warmer packs. If you can donate a small amount to our crowdfunder it would really help. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/winter-war...

When Dixons Academies Trust launched its 9-day fortnight for teachers, there was a fair bit of cynicism about whether it would actually be possible. 12 months on, @ellencph.bsky.social talks to the trust to find out what has happened since - and the impact it has had www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Always a fan of clear grammar explanations - this is a good 'un for the subjunctive. ##mflbluesky 👌🏻 @theniceman.bsky.social

Those 3 little words every parent longs to hear (especially pre 6.30am)... "Maman, biiiiiig caca!" 💩🧒🏼

Highly recommend this excellent Belgian film we caught at the cinema hier soir. Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. #mflbluesky ##filmsky #moviesky

Big fan of the "control enthusiast" rebrand. Will definitely be adopting some of these I don't currently use. Thanks @ttradioofficial.bsky.social Super Sundays (via @‌teachertapp) www.researchtoclassroom.com/post/the-sun...

So true! I also came to learn that even when I did have 'perfect' resources it didn't mean I would have a perfect lesson. In fact, not being exhausted because I accepted a 80% good enough lesson plan meant I delivered that lesson better overall!

do you know about the bankthefood app? if you tell it your closest food bank, it will buzz when you’re near one of their collection points and tell you what they’re most in need of (and you can tell it what you’ve bought for them, so that gets updated in real time)

The dangers of being a teacher on summer hols: currently responsible for 2 x 2yo, 1 x 4yo and 2 x 5yo 🫠

Guess who forgot to turn off their alarm? Not me! In other news, my body clock celebrated the first day of the hols by waking me at 5.08am... 🫠

Teaching is a team sport. When one of us succeeds we all do. Lift each other up. 😊

#mflbluesky is anyone working with lots of double #languages lessons? Can anyone point me to where it's going well with longer lessons? Thanks

Right, I've got a plot at the #allotment. Tips? Recommended reading/listening? #booksky

Post a villain you love.

Um...I (erroneously) decided not to buy any new books for a year and only read what I in the house. I almost finished the TBR pile but, instead of joy, it brought...anxiety. Lesson learned. #booksky #buymorebooks

Taking ten months shared parental leave was one of the best things I've ever done. Sadly it's only big corporates that will pay for leave, as a way of retaining professional workers. I've got so many sad DMs from dads in low paid jobs who couldn't make the money work. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I saw @jazampawfarr.bsky.social at a conference several years ago. She captivated the room and made me, a devout cynic, cry buckets. Definitely get to this if you can 👇🏻
