Secondary science teacher. Took the road not taken to become a teacher and it defined who I am. Deeply passionate for my subject. All views are my own.

Today I was told by a pupil, "people are alive because of you and how positive you are"
I don't think anything a child has said has ever hit me harder than that. What a reminder of the impact we can have without even realising it somehow.
A digital ID is a horrendous idea. It is an overreach of the state and I strongly believe we should all oppose it.

First time in more than 8 years I am clean shaven. If any kind souls would like to help me support men's mental health, testicular cancer awareness and general well being that would be great. Help raise funds and make a difference to someone in need

I am so genuinely delighted to see my Physics and Science teacher colleagues take #FIFAcalc on board -- and run with it 😃👍. If you've not come across FIFA for GCSE Phys calcs before, start here physicsteacher.blog/2019/10/… [1/2]

NHS waiting lists are going up because for 13 years the Conservatives have actively undermined, underresourced and underfunded the NHS. They have failed to support staff and failed patients.
They can try and point fingers at whoever they want- this is on them.
RT if you agree💙

UK money markets now pricing in @bankofengland interest rates of 5.75% by early next year.
That’s a massive change from only a month ago, when they thought rates might peak under 5%.
Things looking increasingly grisly for mortgage payers/the housing market

HUGELY excited that we can finally reveal this gamechanging resource for KS3 science.
Every week, a different head of science or senior leader calls me asking for help with KS3 resourced.
Springboard Science is the answer.
Read on for why it's just so revolutionary:

Pretty clear what the general consensus is on this..

Fucking hell. Jacob Rees Mogg admits that voter ID was a "clever scheme" designed to advantage his party according to this report by Adam Bienkov.
Those grubby, lying, cheating scumbags will stop at nothing to remain in power for personal financial gain. bylinetimes.com/2023/05/15/j…

Sometimes I want to shout "IT'S NORMAL TO FIND THINGS HARD, THAT'S NOT A REASON NOT TO TRY!" at the top of my lungs.
Some of my 10s are so reluctant to try things that aren't immediately easy and it's exhausting trying to convince them to try just a little bit of the tricky bits
