  1. @MrOCallaghanICT @computing_teach Maybe it's my school? Either way, @CCEA_info KS3 was the last straw. I'm not inflicting that on anyone. 11:32 AM May 10th via web in reply to MrOCallaghanICT
  2. @computing_teach I'm fed up being the miserable sod in the staffroom. 9:57 AM May 10th via web in reply to computing_teach
  3. @computing_teach mebbe... been looking at options and talking to people - they are crying out for programmers in NI. 9:56 AM May 10th via web in reply to computing_teach
  4. When you hate the job, because of the dross you have to teach, it's time to move on. bringbackcs.blogspot.co.uk 9:52 AM May 10th via web
  5. @CCEA_info Am I the first teacher who has left teaching, pointing the finger of blame at you and ICT? bringbackcs.blogspot.co.uk 9:50 AM May 10th via web
  6. @MrODonnell Thanks for fixing C2k. I had probably decided a couple of years ago that I was moving on regardless. bringbackcs.blogspot.co.uk 9:49 AM May 10th via web
  7. @mwclarkson Thanks for the resources. I'm outta here: bringbackcs.blogspot.co.uk 9:49 AM May 10th via web

  9. @mwclarkson Well, suppose. Maybe I was thinking "sixth formers in a wine-bar - not a new thing!" 9:31 AM May 10th via web in reply to mwclarkson
  10. @mwclarkson Posting your own school is fine, but why are the Beeb reporting this? 8:58 AM May 10th via web in reply to mwclarkson
  11. @mwclarkson @BBCTees Is this a slow news day? 9:15 AM May 9th via web in reply to mwclarkson
  12. @Jon_Torbitt Agreed. ICT is an easy grade, plus @CCEA_info don't currently do Computing and many Heads follow CCEA's lead. 11:04 AM May 8th via web in reply to Jon_Torbitt
  13. TES Jobs has had Computing with ICT jobs all over England. NI Jobfinder -one ICT-only. Where is school leaders' vision for Computer Science? 9:54 AM May 8th via web

  19. @computing_teach @MrODonnell @not_out_97 Good to see issue discussed. VLEs are all very well, but to me programming is vital. #C2kontheroad 10:25 AM May 1st via web in reply to computing_teach
