There are 13 weeks of the year when headteachers could march on Downing Street without missing a school day. But they chose today. I wonder how big *their* term-time holiday fine will be...https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1045586771776614400 …

If you knew lots of teachers then you wouldn't have been so dismissive of their march to raise their legitimate concerns during a time of their choosing. Which, incidentally, has had a lot more publicity thanks to you highlighting it. I said work summers, not all summer.
Maybe you only dislike the ones you don't know. Seems to be a theme in your arguments.
Well if we’re talking reading comprehension I don’t think Julia said she dislikes teachers - whether she knows them or not.
I'm presuming she likes the ones she knows. Her attitude to the profession as a whole is certainly questionable considering her tweets alone. As for reading comprehension, that wasn't said by me, though I'm not insinuating you thought so.
Teachers are easy targets for Julia to snipe at from the comfort of her ivory tower.
It's an easy target and topic for her audience to grasp, then to twist and to completely misunderstand.
Reading comprehension fail. Stephen didn’t write “all of their summer holidays”. No teacher works ALL of their summer holidays. Many teachers work SOME of their summer holidays.
Of course they don't, Julia knows what I meant, & chose to distort it. I can only guess at her intention. Though I suppose she might have misinterpreted it or misread it. Either way, doesn't augur well for her eyesight or her integrity. I blame Brexit & Specsavers!!!
She does tend to do that a lot. Not a good look for an Oxford-educated ‘journalist’.
Got my degree at the Open University. A fine institution but nothing on Oxford. We're all allowed mistakes in life. I just didn't want my words to be misconstrued to her thousands of followers.
