DramaShaz The education system has become so driven by numbers, that the human beings seem to barely matter anymore.

If you want to see what’s wrong with education, go and check conversations from the past few weeks on here about:
Slant and other acronyms
Reading rulers
Pens
Behaviour

And you will see why many are leaving the profession and why society is so polarised that debate is pointless

What does being an old lady mean

Her work with Peter Gill and Caryl Churchill alone make her a titan. Escaped Alone isn’t just written for old ladies, it’s written for old ladies who can dance on the head of a pin.

The best line ever in #ThisTown is so perfect, when someone tries to manipulate your thinking: Bardon ‘why would I do that?’

DramaShaz We never stop teaching or learning. It's a lifelong kinda thing.

Middle class people, who read what they need to, to pass exams, but read nothing else 😹

Gillian Keegan MP Michael Gosling Wells Academy You can see why I’m peed off with this. The term ‘evidence informed’ is badly used and at times, statements are made which cannot be evidenced.

If you see something iffy, research it yourself first (I did, all 3) and ifyou find no evidence of efficacy, ask, then call it out.

Gillian Keegan MP Michael Gosling The third was Wells Academy boasting about all classes using reading rulers. A asked them and three others who supported them for evidence that reading rulers improved reading. Not a single one of the four produced any.

Evidence informed? No way.

As coaching is becoming more and more common in schools. I thought I’d re-share this. Research: how can coaching lead to school improvement? schoolsweek.co.uk/research-how-c…

DramaShaz Conrad_Murray with you both 100%. Funny, when people see we do classics they assume my parents pay for it! I grew up on council estate near Dudley bab!

Exactly what Conrad_Murray says! The working class are not here to provide interludes for the rich theatre class

Exactly this. And it doesn't matter the time you put in. The amount of influence, success, product, whatever that you achieve and or gain.
These orgs act no different to kings selecting clowns.

We funny today....Banished tomorrow.

I think we can measure class a bit from the age that you first had a holiday abroad 😹😹 I was 27

Working class kids can do it. That has been my life mission. Our lovely former student Grace Hodgett Young who has played in #Sunset boulevard and #HadesTown has just been on her first holiday abroad, ever! Most middle class people can’t even imagine not going abroad as a kid

How old is too old to teach?

I hope this might be interesting! I have started to get ageist questions from grown ups. I realise that I am looking a bit haggard! Massive difference with teenagers. They don’t see age the way we do! They read energy. They would rather have an energetic octogenarian than a…

Today I watched a re-interpretation of the opening scene from East. The violent toxic masculinity juxtaposed with a female speaking as a mother in the chorus. Two kneeling females (one Jewish, one Muslim) stood up, held hands and hugged, whilst projecting their respective flags…

If you give teenagers the creative freedom to research a topic and express their opinions creatively; using their ability to harness contemporary technology, they are absolutely geniuses and we can learn from them. My lot have blown my mind today ❤️🎭

A beautiful experience today: 38 teenagers, so excited for their lesson that they all turned up really early and started getting themselves organised. I could have gone home #JoyFE #DramaPower
