The local elections in the UK have provided an interesting reflection on the understanding of, and the state of, democracy in the UK. Shame our political class have no interest in actually having a democratic UK.

@privateeyenews.bsky.social question for the editor. Was the council election results in England a secret ploy by Private Eye to boost readership figures? I think we should be told. Looks like your council investihative reporters will have years of work now!

Would you like to work in a Trust where Principals are equal partners in leading the MAT? Where Principals are trusted, respected & have autonomy? Where we all work together for the greater good? We’re recruiting now for a Principal at one of our primary schools. Come join us!

On the one hand, we cannot have a society where protest and free speech are curtailed. But we also have to understand that it's a responsibility that needs to be used with care. Somewhere along the line, ee forgot that.

What happens when you miss PPA? In a busy, challening school, if you miss PPA you lose it. This has a knock on effect, because you get to Friday, feel too exhausted, do the family thing Saturday, then wake up with that cold emptiness and pressure on Sunday.

Very lucky to be given a proof of “The Thing About Giants” by #ChristopherGalvin. It’s a fantastic tale that switches everything we know about Giants and Humans. It’s epic in every way. At its core is a brilliant friendship between human and giant. Great stuff @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

I've always struggled to fit in. I thought teaching might be it, or at least it for long enough for fitting in not to matter anymore. However, that appears not to be the case. Might be back to the drawing board. I think I need a job that pays me to stay away from everyone. And maybe read books.

The LA have put up a post giving notice schools may be closed due to strike action. I’m now explaining this to various “9-3 part time teachers” comments.

A chalkboard with the following written on it

For those of you who don’t understand teaching:
* I have to be in school before the lessons
* I have to plan the lessons before I teach them
* I have to prepare the classroom and resources for the lessons
* I have to mark the lessons after I teach them
*I spend my breaks organising lessons and talking to pupils & colleagues
* I have meetings after the lessons
* I talk to parents after the lessons
*I talk to my managers after the lessons
* I have training sessions after the lessons
* I tidy the classroom after the lessons
* I record data on what happens in the lessons
*I plan support for pupils finding the lessons difficult
* I help children get on with each other between the lessons
* I write reports on what happens in the lessons
I do not just work 9-3 40 weeks a year.
Many teachers work over 50 hours a week including evenings &
weekends at home.

At home? I've never liked the idea of school going home. At the very least, it just magnifies inequities and inequalities in learning.

If education is not built from the bottom up, with capacity at its core, and context as its guide, it will fail. It's why it's failing now. The only thing keeping education afloat is the above-and-beyond sacrifices of the staff at all levels.

Rob Wyness @oldmanteacher1.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I have nothing but fearful dread every time I hear that a government is doing something about education. It never feels like frontline staff are ever involved or consulted. And in Education, context is everything.

I took the time to send an email to a mentor thanking him for his impact on me & he wrote back to say how much it meant to him. I highly recommend doing this, especially for your teachers. we keep them in little folders & reread them when we feel like we can’t go on.

The TES has reported about complaints about the lack of diversity in the new curriculum design team. Are there any actual frontline teachers, Primary or EYFS in there? If not,it's going to go wrong.
