Can anyone who uses @squarespace tell me why I can’t upload photos to my products? I’m starting to get annoyed as I’ve tried about 10 times.

"No-one deserves to suffer injury or assault in their workplace, which is why local authorities – as the employers of teachers – have a legal duty of care to ensure a safe working environment for all school staff." #EISNews eis.org.uk/latest-news/as…
I don’t think you know what you’ve done. I’m a teacher and the healthy and educational conversations we’ve had today about your amazing performance, and your diagnosis, have been fantastic. You’re a brilliant role model #LewisCapaldi
Teachers face increased workloads and behavioural issues as they work 54 hours a week on average, a new survey has found. news.stv.tv/politics/teach…
Word of the day is ‘backfriend’ (15th century): one who pretends to be your ally but eventually stabs you in the back.
More blatant misrepresentation of a marginally improved, deliberately convoluted and BELOW INFLATION deal. Clearly designed to portray teachers as greedy if we decline the offer, little mention is made of it being mostly composed of LAST YEAR'S overdue pay settlement.

Just to remind the general public that we don’t get paid if we strike. And right now we’re not getting paid an inflation matching wage. This is not a decision taken lightly by any of us but we believe it’s the best way to give our pupils a better education. #eis #PayAttention
Aw Nicola, my wee Scottish heart is broken. Thank you for your unshakeable belief in my country and the dignity that you’ve displayed in being our first minister. @NicolaSturgeon @theSNP
The FM says in her @bbclaurak interview that since 2018, teachers have had more than 20% increase in their salary. Wrong. Since 2018, teachers received a 13% uplift (2018-21), and a 2.2% uplift in 2021-22. No uplift has been paid in 2022-23.
The EIS Executive met today & agreed a programme of additional strike action that will include 2 days of national strike action in all schools & sectors on 28 Feb & 1 March, followed by a rolling programme of strikes for 20 days between 13 Mar & 21 April eis.org.uk/latest-news/22…
Never felt so trapped in my own life than I do right now… #IndyRef2
@BBCScotlandNews In the 2 years previous, teachers accepted 1% and 1.22%, well below prevailing wage increases at the time, on the understanding that there would be an appropriate reset once the pandemic was firmly under control. Consequently, a below inflation rise of 10% is utterly reasonable.
Turns out nobody underestimated Liz Truss after all.
The Queen is this nation's last constant. She - not the monarchy, she personally - is the last national institution that hasn't fallen into disrepair, disregard or distrust. I don't think we're remotely ready for her loss.
I arrived at @EdinburghAirpo1 last week for an early flight. I called my meet and greet driver when I arrived at 5am to be told my booking was cancelled. Now I can’t get any answers from @Looking4Parking and have had no refund. Terrible- no response at all.
None of us should accept a future in which our daughters and granddaughters have fewer rights than we did.

What a fucking shit-show. I hope every single politician in Holyrood realises what a joke our parliament has become. I wouldn’t trust one of them to post a letter without falling down a manhole
@RogersHistory Hi Tom. @channel5_tv here. Congrats on the school improvement. Can we come and do a feature all about you and your school. We want to call it ‘28 Days Later: The Rogered School’. There could be a knighthood in this for you. Ta ta for now.
Me to Dr “well I’ve heard nothing re MRI/neurology so I assume everything is fine”. Dr says “You’d like to think so”. Long story short - MRI was not fine. If I hadn’t made an appt to discuss my continuing symptoms, neither the Dr or I know when I would have found out. NHS 2024
I love teaching, but I hate so many things that come with being a teacher. I don’t expect anyone outside of education to understand this.
. . . in the few schools I’ve spoken to where they say behaviour is as good as, or better than, before they’ve focused on orderly environment, clear expectations and consistent policy around behaviour.
At least 14 of the most senior male judges in our country are members of the all male Garrick club, which bans female members. Four judges have resigned. Why haven’t the other 10 male judges resigned? We await public confirmation that all judges have resigned their membership.
The issue the Garrick club is not going to go away. This is not about the fairness of a gathering of like minded folk-for me it’s about public service & membership of a private male club being incompatible with the judicial oath & public pledges to support equality&diversity….

@EdnaKrabapple1 @GlasgowPam @EISUnion Looking at the stats, & I may have misread them, these numbers appear to include management, teachers on the supply roll, & visiting peripatetic specialists (e.g. music). Which would mean they don't actually reflect numbers of classroom teachers in any way, shape or form..
@WhistleblowingT I hear this a lot “child is not ready for restorative” - can still sit in your class, however.
@MisterHBrown @scotgov Then there’s this. How bloody depressing. But we teachers are the deficiency?
You can send every teacher on every course available and it WILL NOT IMPROVE THE SITUATION. Is anyone actually listening to teachers? MSM in Scotland is going to have to do better if anything is to improve.
@mw_mairi @EdnaKrabapple1 @GlasgowPam @EISUnion I think you're right. A totally false picture, then. Many of the supply staff at my older school are older folk. I'm only going in 2 days. A still older teacher is only going in 1 day a week...Yet we'll be contributing to this ratio. *wipes eyes* They're actually holding
