I like to look at the positives... one that i have realised after lots of thinking time while shielding... no excuses. This was prompted listening to @Miss_Snuffy and @danicquinn talk about the Michaela School. My take-away from this is that i have a brilliant opportunity ...

... to model this idea of 'no excuses'. I am starting at new school in September and i do wonder about making the MS known to the students so that they can see i have my own obstacles and barriers to being successful. I am in a great position to show these young people...

... the power of a 'no excuse' frame of mind. That success can still happen, regardless of the external factors that you may encounter outside of the classroom and the school. Importantly, this is a no excuses to other but also to yourself. I have sat there and thought ...

... "that'll do" or "i'm tired" and so try and excuse my half-planned lesson or half-marked set of books to myself. How can you expect Reasonable Adjustments to be made when you are still going to deliver sub-standard levels. My lesson/resolution from today was "no excuses"
