One conversation can make such a difference.

Is ‘Journey to the River Sea’ more suitable for kS2 or KS3? Thanks

Brilliantly well of course!!! I sown more time trying to work ways to use the IWB than it saved me.

If it’s any consolation, I bought your Oxford revision book for my son on Friday.

Agree with this. We need to help teachers make better decisions not make the decisions for them. This isn't just being nice. Prescription usually doesn't work beyond basic agreed stuff around procedural routines. Even these will be subverted if people don't understand the reasons.

“There is no reason to believe that any nonstandard vernacular is in itself an obstacle to learning. The chief problem is ignorance of language on the part of all concerned. Our job as linguists is to remedy this ignorance.”-Labov, in 1972. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/u...

William Labov, Who Studied How Society Shapes Language, Dies at 97

He laid the foundation for sociolinguistics, and he showed that structures like class and race shaped speech as much as where someone lives.

‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’?

Mary H-P @litliverbird.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

The phrase itself is tricky and undefined in the NC. I’m thinking European and non-European. Some schools have ‘Things Fall Apart’ for example. I’d count The Iliad and The Odyssey too. But v interested in how other people interpret it.

Lovely English teachers - what do you have as ‘seminal world texts’ in your KS3 curriculum? Thank you

1/? Yes, you need a menopause policy. 📝 You need it because you have a legal obligation to support employees through perimenopause and into menopause. 📝 You need it because it enables you to consider what that support might look like - and put reasonable boundaries on it. #Edusky #UKEd
