Stuart Hayward @stuartteachphys.bsky.social · 25/09/2026At its worst, it's like the scene near the end of Schindler's List- the knowledge that you could have done a bit more, saved another one, is heartbreaking. Caring as much as you can, but then no more... It's important, but it's so hard. 000
Stuart Hayward @stuartteachphys.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Speaking really well without notes is a rare skill to be prized. Speaking competently is largely a question of knowing your facts and having thought through your principles. Thousands of teachers do it more than adequately several times a day. 112

This is his motivational spiel in the ops room at the start. It turns into a Dr Seussesque thing. The scansion, the rhyming, the rhythm, the relevance to the story. It's just perfect. 7193
Stuart Hayward @stuartteachphys.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There's a gap between what the UK is actually, currently, good at and what the UK fondly remembers being good at. It's a problem if we're going to pay our way. 010

Stuart Hayward @stuartteachphys.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Evolving theory: Part of our problem here and now is losing things because their main purpose is redundant but their secondary uses aren't. We don't need libraries for books, but we do need free shared spaces. We don't need High Streets for shops, but we need them to anchor our communities. 101
