Well said @mejessop what utter, utter rubbish. No wonder they play up and lose interest. NB. The Government made it law that your children should know it. Tell me how often do you use a coordinating conjunction every day...and can spot it? Real world stuff eh?

4.3m UK children live in poverty. Because of govt policies -low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, two-child benefit cap. Children go without food, clothes, toys, books. Lives destroyed. Govt priotises tax cuts for the rich. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
If we don't expose it, then it will never change. Children in care deserve the chance to live a good life in a safe place called home. Make care experience a protected characteristic. #changeiscoming theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Dan Poulter is not standing at the next election. For any party. He will dedicate more time to his work as an NHS doctor specialising in mental health. I've already seen a dozen tweets claiming he's defected to somehow save his (23,000 majority) seat.
A quick reminder before you vote. This government does not value the lives of our most vulnerable young people, especially those from our care system. #changeiscoming

We won't give up until Ofsted is radically reformed. Please stand up for Ruth, stand up for yourselves. Ofsted must undergo reform—it's more than just a one-word judgment.
Labour pledges to renationalise most rail services within five years. Now let’s ban profit from children’s homes and foster care. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
If school uniform is about social levelling and not about preparing children for work, why the shirts and ties? And if it’s about social levelling, why withhold education from children with minor uniform infractions by sending them to isolation?
Private Equity will crash the economy. UK banks are leaving themselves open to “severe, unexpected losses”, by failing to properly measure how exposed they are to the $8tn private equity industry, says Bank of England. Must regulate PE. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

People would be shocked at what crawls out when you lift the lid on many 'care' facilities, often for the most vulnerable in our society. @MartinBarrow does amazing work in this area, but it is more prevalent and horrifying than anyone would imagine. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688973…
I spoke to a locum GP this weekend who is likely to give up her licence to practice as she has not had enough patient contact this year to prove competence (which is an annual requirement in England). This is due to a shortage of work, because no one can afford to employ GPs.
@philsharrock @mejessop I've just looked them up and found the idea that one can analyse the language in that way really quite interesting! But I've managed to live perfectly well without them, and don't know under what circumstances a child would find them of interest!
Goodness me! A MAT retains 25.9% of a school's funding for its "top slice". Is this a record? sussexexpress.co.uk/news/people/ha…
@philsharrock @mejessop I know it now because I've been a TEFL teacher for several years, but I managed to get through most of my adult life (including A level English lang & lit & a Modern languages degree) without needing to know it.
So it’s looks like I have a headship for January Can’t wait for my opinions to suddenly become valid in 2025
It would be nicer and more useful if children were taught to spell and to use punctuation correctly, as well as to speak grammatically and not use such horrors as "we/you was..." etc., etc. As a teacher I often spent as much time correcting English as I did correcting geography.
Well said @mejessop what utter, utter rubbish. No wonder they play up and lose interest. NB. The Government made it law that your children should know it. Tell me how often do you use a coordinating conjunction every day...and can spot it? Real world stuff eh?
@matilda__martin Did these same MAT leaders speak out when ITT providers - universities with hundreds of years of ITE expertise and outstanding SCITTs - were axed by the DfE’s Market Review? Now Teach encourages some mature teacher recruits - granted. It doesn’t actually train anyone to teach.
Absolutely this. I’ve been trying to help my eldest with SATS homework and I haven’t got a clue with this stuff, never did it ‘in my day’. I don’t see how knowing these labels is any use to anyone, I can write sentences without knowing the weirdly long names for what I’ve used.
Well said @mejessop what utter, utter rubbish. No wonder they play up and lose interest. NB. The Government made it law that your children should know it. Tell me how often do you use a coordinating conjunction every day...and can spot it? Real world stuff eh?
@ellymoir @casapinos @philsharrock @mejessop How else can ‘standards be raised’ other than by enforcing the jargon? Politicians can claim ‘Look - they now know what a coordinating conjunction is! Progress!’ ( interesting that jargon has moved back from ‘connective’ to ‘conjunction’! Change huh!
@McGeeMatthew @philsharrock @mejessop I think it was due too doing spag the whole year! Practicing then doing the spag test.
@philsharrock @mejessop I thought a conjunction was a Tory love in.
@philsharrock @mejessop Utterly pointless! Wasting children’s time.
@Louisek96813835 @philsharrock @mejessop Why are we setting so many children up to feel negative about themselves, when success depends to a great extent on positive self-esteem? I hope your son managed to overcome the feelings that the SPAG test led to.
@philsharrock @mejessop Well of course you use them. Every day. You just don't need to know what they are called. Would be more sensible to offer a list of words like and/but/because and ask them to use them correctly in a sentence.
@philsharrock @mejessop glad my reputation doesn't depend on my knowing the answer!
@casapinos @philsharrock @mejessop Exactly. I’m an English teacher and don’t know the jargon! They don’t need to know this nonsense in 🏴
@philsharrock @mejessop I taught English to Advanced Higher level for 38 years and I have no idea what the answer is.
@philsharrock @mejessop The pressure that it puts on our young people is totally unnecessary. We need a complete overhaul in educational thinking. Too much time is wasted on stuff like this in our schools.
@philsharrock @mejessop And like others contributing to this thread, I really do believe grammar matters and wish some more basic elements of it, especially rules about pronouns, were taught more effectively – but I don't think primary school children need this level of detail.
