Baroness Benjamin spent 15 months in foster care as a child. She's now a member of the House of Lords and tries to make the world better. Aim high for our #ChildrenInCare. #Edusky

Neil Morrrissey spent 7 years in care as a child. One special teacher believed in his acting dreams. Never underestimate the power of a special teacher. ✨

Dame Elizabeth Anionwu spent 9 years in a children's care home. In 2017, she won the #PrideOfBritain Lifetime Achievement award for her work improving nursing. Aim high for our #ChildrenInCare. #Edusky

Jim Bowen, comedian and presenter, began life in an orphanage. He was then adopted. His warmth and humour still radiates joy. Dream big for #CareExperienced children. #Edusky

As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti. That's patriotism! Trying to make your community better. Reaching out and helping others.

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power. Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

📢 1.90 is rolling out now (3/11) Every post now has the ability to “detach” quote posts. Quote posts are great but sometimes they’re used to dunk on people. This tool gives you a quick way to remove your post from the quote, reducing the unwanted attention that a quote might bring.

Ofsted: this week my friend (a Headteacher) was driven, in a vintage open top car, round his school village, judging a scarecrow competition. Whilst I am doing home visits to battered, empty flats looking for kids who may have caught malaria while in Africa. Same framework. Context is everything.

Let’s continue to grow this platform in the manner it has started - a wonderfully collegiate, informative, interesting space for educators everywhere. Hurrah! @collegeofteaching.bsky.social @ascl-uk.bsky.social

Thinking of all students collecting results today. Thank you so much to teachers who transform lives - amazing!

A beautiful start to the day in the glorious Ynys Mon!

Hello there #EduSky

Watching the news from my beautiful city of Southampton tonight, hoping it sends a message of love, peace and togetherness.

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it, there are many dark places; but still, there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” schoolsweek.co.uk/after-the-ri... Exceptionally wise words from Hamid (and JRR)
