Along with receiving praise from the media, Alexander also received a letter from the Mayor of London praising him for the work he did with his students during the pandemic. “I felt that it was not just a thank you to me, but it was a thank you to the whole teaching profession,” Alexander says.” When I tweeted about the letter at the time, I extended thanks and gratitude to all the teachers across the country because this was just one thing that I had done personally.” You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs.

I think that for children to reach their full potential within education, it's important that there is a diverse pool of educators who are creating and leading the curriculum and who also understand the social-economical situation in which their learners are coming from,” Alexander says. During his book tour, Alexander developed a group called Banji’s Class. Forty five students from nine different schools in London make up the group. The group’s main focus is acting, dancing, and singing with a little rap mixed. The group falls in line with Alexander’s love of music and his former aspiration to be a musician himself. He says there is no greater feeling than helping someone realize they can do something they didn’t think possible, and that is what his experience has been with Banji’s Class.

Mr Alexander is hoping the book will help children to learn how to manage their expectations which positively impacts their mental health. The phase may also see families allowed to travel for short breaks around the UK, though with restrictions on household mixing. Fourth phaseThis [complete shutdown] is scientific and the best approach now. But considering livelihood, the new measure is not too bad. It will partially contribute to slowing down the transmission." Further restrictions are needed within days to stop hospitals being overwhelmed by the surge of Omicron, according to senior government scientists.

Mr Thompson issued a rallying cry for fellow pub landlords to support each other during these “difficult times”. Mr Alexander is hoping his book will be used by other schools and has already received supportive messages about the book from headteachers and librarians and the impact it has had on their learners. Stephen Reicher, professor of social psychology at the University of St Andrews and a member of SAGE, earlier told Times Radio that Plan B alone would not be enough to curb infections. One of Alexander's main joys from teaching is inspiring the next generation. He hopes to inspire future doctors, writers, musicians, scientists, etc. There is also an emphasis on teaching his students not to limit themselves to one part of life. He says everyone can do amazing things, but it is just that people don’t lean into that side as much as they should. Mark Fellows, manager at Old Ship Inn in Dorchester, was saddened by the news but is awaiting further guidance from the Government.

Alexander’s parents were strict when it came to academics, and as a result, he devoted most of his time to schoolwork. Even when he wasn’t in school, he spent much of his free time reading rather than getting in trouble. His motivation for becoming a teacher was to inspire the next generation. Growing up, he did not have many teachers that looked like him and came from where he was from. Alexander wanted to be a teacher that kids could relate to. He told The Daily Star yesterday that the success would depend on how effectively the measures were implemented. "In the past, we have seen such measures exist only on papers." Keith Treggiden, manager of Rendezvous, Royal Oak and Slug and Lettuce, said the news was "gutting" and could have a "catastrophic" effect on some businesses.

Banji’s teaching career started as a student at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, where he undertook a placement in a school with disadvantaged pupils - an experience that Banji says prepared him fully for his career in the classroom. “I think the opportunity to train and do my placement at a very challenging school really set me in good stead for the rest of my teaching career and gave me the skills needed to teach anywhere,” he explains. Mr Dunster said: “We have had a lot of support from local people who have wanted to support local businesses like ours and that has been a boast. Alexander recounts, “I had my own issues. I had issues in my family. I lost my uncle during the pandemic. This book was like therapy to me because some of the themes in the story are hope, determination, adapting to change, kindness, and these were skills and qualities that I wanted my pupils to gain, but they were also qualities I had to remind myself that I was capable of tuning into during that very difficult time for myself and my family.”

Alexander received praise for his book and the positive impact it had on school children in the United Kingdom.
