Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Public opinion is irrelevant. It's a negotiation between employees and employers. In this situation, the employees hold all the cards and will either be successful or many will leave for better remunerated shores. 000
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 24/11/2025If we leave kids unsupervised to access social media and we don't discuss how most of it isn't real and how it thrives on clicks and eyeballs from divisive content, then we're not doing our job as parents. 030

Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025If we take single market as an example. They have publicly acknowledged that leaving it has harmed us economically. This alone is a big step with such a politically divisive issue. 000
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025It's an error to try to 'out reform' Reform. I agree. 200
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025They have. But the 'Labour attacking greens' angle works better for most of our media so this is the message that gets amplified. 100
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025The lack of physics specialist teachers is a severe issue in schools serving disadvantaged communities. We need to see a plan on addressing the shortage of Physics teachers before we can address the social equity of triple science being offered. www.tes.com/magazine/new...tes.comTriple science GCSE plan ‘ignores chronic teacher shortages’Giving all GCSE students an entitlement to study triple science will force schools to make ‘compromises and substitutions’ without a major recruitment plan, warn subject experts 020
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Maybe I'm wrong. I suppose we'll find out in the next 4 years. 110
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Lots of schoolkids know Nigels name too. That's the point I'm making. I prefer many of Zack's policies but he'll never get the chance to implement them. Hopefully some of them will start to have a subtle influence on the current government's direction. 200
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025It's a long time to the next election. I know quite a few Labour MPs and they are decent people. The message will change. 1100
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025I completely agree. Whilst I don't think the greens have a chance with FPTP, you can only hope that Labour will see the success they are having with more positive messages and start to change their plan. 110
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Some aren't. But the ratio of faceless/nameless profiles is about 20 to 1 at the moment. Does that not strike you as odd? 1610
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025I agree. They are offering an alternative. But is it realistically achievable? They're not going to win a majority under the FPTP system, so what happens if the Greens manifesto has to be delivered through a coalition government? And who would they go into coalition with? 600
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025I don't disagree.

Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025I don't disagree. I think Labour have struggled (and are currently failing) with how to counteract Reform on immigration. Hate is a powerful emotion and it is being exploited by many politicians worldwide. 130
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025You're on social media by choice though. Surely the point of it is to listen to and share opinions? 1000
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Lawless how? If there is something that you want to say that you don't want your name associated with, you have to self reflect on whether you should be saying it at all. 610

Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Feels a bit students politics to me. What does this achieve? 000
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 09/11/2025He's right. Just because I might prefer Zacks populist policies to Nigels doesn't make any of it more achievable. The current government have inherited an absolute mess snd it is going to take adults a long time to sort it out. 73170
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 01/11/2025I much prefer this option. Spelling out my email address etc at check in has always seemed the least efficient way to get to my room. 100
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 01/11/2025I don't think children should be making that decision at 13. A good teacher ignites a love of a subject. A poor teacher could mean a child not choosing to study a subject post 13. That isn't a sensible way to do things. 100
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 01/11/2025I disagree. The G in GCSE is for General. Young people should get a broad education that covers as many subjects as possible. 100

Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Her apology works even better for Reform. 'Look what they made me apologise for' 'You can't speak your mind anymore' etc etc. Normalising this kind of language so more people are happy to 'other' whole sections of society, that don't look like them. 000
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Adverts aren't a reliable indicator any more. Ads are expensive and often yield poor fields. 010
Chris Hillidge @chrishillidge.bsky.social · 26/10/2025I think a SoW with lots of detail for the teacher is a vital starting point for any lesson. The PowerPoint might be one of the resources used but not the main event. 110
