@SwailesRuth Early Years is COMPLETELY undervalued. We're shunting 2yr olds into nursery now. Paying staff absolute peanuts to do such a responsible job. Its all totally wrong!
@SwailesRuth It’s the devaluing of the job, from EYPs to Teachers. Pack the children in for childcare, extend the day and produce robot teachers to follow and obey…😞😡
@SwailesRuth Every bit of research points to the importance of a highly qualified and supported workforce for ECEC. This makes no sense at all, indeed evidence points to it being damaging and particularly to the most under-served families & communities.
@SwailesRuth Goes to show how utterly clueless the ‘sit like scholars’ organisation is - so utterly and unbelievably without a clue!
An excellent opportunity to lead a highly successful EYFS dept at a great school. I’ve spent the last 10 years here and the last 6 of those transforming the early years. Full details below. Pls share! @HYWEL_ROBERTS @SwailesRuth @chrisdysonHT #EYFS teaching-vacancies.service.gov.uk/jobs/a2909992-…
Judging schools based on a photo is bad, judging people you've never met based on your incorrect assumptions about an article and referring to them as "like year 5 girls" is hilarious. Just in case you were wondering what the Twitter rules are today, folks.

I've been reflecting a lot on appropriate expectations recently. I like these from Singapore for children aged 6-7, so by the end of our year 1 / start of year 2.
@SwailesRuth @suzannezeedyk @naomicfisher @Dr_Pam_Jarvis @DanWuori @thepetitioner @AaronTeamEC @helenjwc @Sue_Cowley Saw this elsewhere & thought it relevant to what we’re discussing here. I think of my toddlers years ago in blocks, their engagement & all they were learning. The exploration & approaches they took to their work. Too often this is not appreciated by results driven systems
The importance of supporting children to flourish, experience joy & trust. Vital messages for early education & beyond from @christinepascal Refreshing discourse with @BristolEarly @HelenMoylett @millies_garden
@tomhfh What an utterly heartless thing to say. I’ve gone through several inspections. Some inspectors were professional. Others were rude and disrespectful. Complain to Ofsted? They find in favour of their inspectors and that’s that.
@tomhfh Given your role I made the assumption that you were a journalist but as you have done no research about this issue I realise that I was wrong. Your post is ignorant, insensitive and deeply insulting. I suggest you delete it and do some real homework on this matter.
@tomhfh You start with an ignorant and offensive characterisation of a tragic death. Ruth Perry was not "troubled", she suffered a mental crisis triggered by an Ofsted inspection that "lacked fairness, respect and sensitivity" that she knew would cost her her job and her reputation...
Lest we forget: when we talk about #RuthPerry, we barely lift the lid on a much bigger situation, which has huge, ongoing national relevance.

@Dr_Pam_Jarvis @tomhfh @YorksBylines @CentralBylines @BylineTimes Fair, consistent, inspections professionally carried out. A robust, independent, transparent complaints procedure and a fair, consistent, evidenced method of reporting. In what world are these controversial asks? The system cannot operate at the cost of educators mental health.
This is going to be a fabulous day- don’t miss it!

@ann_seal @SwailesRuth Why do these goals need to be measured?
@SwailesRuth Well, my guess is because on paper it will look like we have enough qualified staff to deliver their plan to secure the vote of working parents. Smoke and mirrors!
@ProudlyPastoral Considering their trend for being provocative for provocation’s sake, it’s very clear that this wasn’t posted as a ‘look what an amazing display we’ve created’ post. Nobody’s been horrible to the HT personally.
@ProudlyPastoral The fact that this MAT and particularly this HT keep posting this kind of things doesn’t make you think that is fine on purpose to create controversy? All PR stunt to get their name on the media publicity good and bad. He knows what he’s doing like many of them
Remember in January when the Conservatives said they would clawback Post Office pensions. They haven't pardoned Postmasters either.
@SwailesRuth They will. This arm of resistance,that we are part of, must defend right from wrong. Your voice has never been more important so - thank you Ruth.
@SwailesRuth They don’t care. They just wants stats to show number of people aligning with number of children. They really don’t care whether it’s a trained person or the lollipop man filling the gap. 🤬
As an infant teacher I endorse these desired outcomes wholeheartedly.
I've been reflecting a lot on appropriate expectations recently. I like these from Singapore for children aged 6-7, so by the end of our year 1 / start of year 2.
‘Why am I paying for a teachers flight??’ Quite literally so there is someone to take your child.
Just seen a TikTok where a parent was (well within their rights) complaining about the cost of a school trip to NYC but most bonkers thing is the comments - people are furious that costs would cover the teachers going. Well…yes - you know they can go to NYC without your child??!
@redgierob I also just saw one defending the school saying FFS leave them alone from a large account. So I think the sweary straddles ideologies on this one.
@FayeGriffiths8 @redgierob And that's the problem with this sort of post. People get angry, no-one changes their views and it's just horrible, nasty, polarised stuff. So why post the photo in the first place?
@FayeGriffiths8 @redgierob There was also someone attacking the 'progs' for being rude and then almost immediately calling someone a 'condescending arse'.
@redgierob I haven't seen the rudeness or swearing - but I'm not sure what's wrong with young people seeing that some professionals think they are just ridiculous.
@SwailesRuth @helenjwc People who've never done 'IT,' whatever 'IT' is, seem nowadays to think that anyone, including themselves, can do 'IT'! What on earth is the matter with (has caused the trouble with) the current thinking of many people in this country?!!!
Edutwitter has got some deliberate misconceptions about politeness. Smiling expresses friendliness in some cultures. Smiling is not politeness; it's just being amiable. You can also be rude and smile. Good manners are very important, forced eye contact and smiling aren't.
@smithsmm How did children ever learn in the past when there was no talk about cognitive load. Is learning any more efficient now, I don’t think so.
God I’m bored of “cognitive load” being used to justify anything and everything. It really has lost all value as a term and is just empty air.
@SwailesRuth Ruth hello 👋🏼 Sorry to hijack the thread. I was hoping to bring the recent @ONS data to your attention. It is shocking. It is also being hidden/ignored. We need ppl within education to advocate for #CleanAir. Pls take a minute to read this 🧵🙏 x.com/_catinthehat/s…
