Windass doing an American accent is killing me #swfc

A comfortable win for #SWFC against Sunderland's U21s, and it was quite literally men against boys out there tonight... A professional display, I suppose. It's hard to take this competition too seriously - but I'll change my tune if we end up at Wembley. 2-0.

Love how seriously Callum Slattery is taking this game. Absolutely bombing about. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

In Education one thing you don’t do is question/challenge the establishment. “That’s just how it’s always been” is EXACTLY the problem and this is the reason Ofsted has been allowed to ride rough shot over education as long as it has #Ofsted #Education #Teaching #School

It’s 33 years since a wily Chris Waddle led a young Ryan Giggs a merry dance. You never lose it, old son.

Hey all in and around @swfc, please reassure Emma. I love this club, I love Sheffield and I love the fans!! It’s under my skin, it’s in my blood. And by the time I’m back in Sheffield I’ll be needing a trim so Emm… get them Sheffield scissors ready! #WAWAW

Probably over expectation, with a huge helping of hype, mixed in with criticism of the manager and squad on a daily basis. Oh and Spain. Don't forget Spain.

Individualism and entitlement culture has put paid to the concept of humanity. Had a long conversation with a friend on the topic only last night. So many people believe in rights to this & that, without realising that with rights come responsibilities.

My middle of the night ponderings. Where has humanity gone in the world. Where has Compassion and Kindness gone. Where has the quality of being humane, understanding, and sympathetic toward others gone. Whilst some of us strive for these things. Others seem to think it’s all about them and people in their image and not about being kind or have understanding. #kindness #humanity #compassion

Bury went bust, Bolton Wanderers were 24 hours away from going bust, Luton got deducted 30 points, Leeds/Sheffield Wednesday/Everton/Nottingham Forest and numerous others hit with points deductions over petty financial breaches. Yet these have the victim mentality, disgraceful.

You can't persuade people that observation and coaching can and will be a positive experience - a professional, motivating discussion not a judgement or evaluation - unless that's actually true. It needs to be sincere. Teachers need a chance to share their thinking and ideas, not just be told what the observer thought. Once people experience that, they begin to value and trust it. But if you're relentlessly in 'drop in and tell them' mode, things won't change. It's no wonder so many teachers resist these things - because they've been burned by the stream of 'feedback' launched at them by a string of people who didn't think it was worth asking them first.

Coming to BBC 2: Fantasy Football League. Here are the lads for a promotional shot in late 1994. God we miss the 90s.

Bursting some teacher myths

Wednesdayites… just a quick update to let you know the surgery went really well and I’m feeling great! Couldn’t have timed it much better with the international break and now it’s all about attacking the recovery and getting myself back to Sheffield as soon as possible. I’ve seen so many of your messages and really appreciate all the support and well wishes… it means a great deal! I’ll be following everything from afar and already counting down the days until I’m back at Hillsborough with our incredible @swfc family. Plenty to look forward to… keep pushing, keep believing and I’ll see you all soon! God bless and thank you! David #WAWAW

Severs’ assessment is extraordinary: Ofsted looks institutionally spent. But I hope government won't answer a crisis of legitimacy with another round of tweaks. The framework's failing, but Ofsted no longer has the credibility to decide what replaces it. tes-magazine-daily.beehiiv.c…

My worry is the government will tweak a now politically unsustainable framework rather than reconsider the system. The problem isn’t just that the framework needs replacing, but that Ofsted lacks the credibility to decide what replaces it. Whatever's next can't be left to Ofsted.

There’ll be no shortage of soothsayers and political opportunists claiming credit if Ofsted falls. I don’t care who gets the credit, only that change comes. But three and a half years have taught me this: without political will, even the strongest case is shouting into the wind…

One thing is certain, the current OFSTED is not fit for purpose and in my opinion it’s holding back teaching. @LucyMPowell

I can tell you now, there is no correlation between an inspection report and the quality of a school. I’ve been through all the grades and the best schools were not rated well by OFSTED.
