A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yes I mostly agree. What I don't agree with is teaching weeks of e.g. balancing methods, only to have to unteach them to handle something as simple as 6/x=3 000
A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I find it is the most flexible model at least to KS4. Assuming your last example is 1/(2x) +2/3=1/6: the dominant operation is +; inverse yields 1/(2x) = -3/6. dom op is now division; inverse yields 1=2x [times] (-3/6); simplifying: 1=-x; dom op is now multiplication, inverse yields x=-1. 100

A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It used to be common (and accepted) for parents to go to job interviews with, or even on behalf of, their school leaver children. This is no different. They are still very young and it's not wrong for parents to help out. 000
A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Once that's fixed we need to do something about seasonal hiring patterns. It's just not acceptable to hire the same people every spring and sack them every autumn. Employers must take year-round responsibility for their employees. 010

A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If your response to the Athena scandal is to chalk it up as one failed trust, you need to think again. Athena happened because the MAT became unaccountable to both parents and teachers. In the end, the only way they could change it was to destroy it. All schools need boards of governors again. 000
A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 10/08/2026We need parents, teachers, and communities back in the driving seat in our schools. Not 'advisory groups' or such rubbish. The MAT needs to propose: stakeholders need to decide. Why should a distant CEO whose never met your kids or their teachers decide your school policy? #deacademise 020
A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Athena? If neither parents nor teachers have power to shape policy at a school, there is a serious governance problem. Major stakeholders should not be forced to campaign and ultimately destroy an organisation just to effect change. Stakeholders should be those making school policy, not fighting it. 110

A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Today, the law actually prohibits both parents and teachers from being trustees of MATs. "Local governing bodies" are merely advisory, with no actual power.

A Teacher Type Resources @ateachertype.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I guess it's related to those joyful trust contracts which means you are technically employed to work in any of their schools as directed. Not great though. I agree with excluding students you actually teach though. 000
