Every word of this post is beautiful & true. It is all too easy to lower our expectations of what children can do. We must guard against this by being open to challenge about whether we expect enough, not just with respect to curriculum, but also with behaviour & character.

A very interesting thread on a divisive topic.
A very interesting thread on a divisive topic.
🧵 Here are 10 facts that proponents of the private school (PS)-VAT proposal don't want you to hear: 1. PSs provide over £1.4 billion of fee assistance per year, with 1 in 3 families receiving help 2. Around 8000 students at PSs have an EHCP + 112,000 pupils receive SEN support
The next time someone argues that private schools are only the preserve of the rich, have no benefit to wider society, and are keeping state education down, a reminder of the above wouldn't go amiss. 🧵🔚
Telling a child that their actions have consequences, and then ensuring those consequences happen, is *exactly* how you teach someone to trust you. Because you meant what you said. Never holding a child accountable for their actions, never challenging, never penalising them, is…
'Rosenberg acknowledged many of these children were challenging to teach, and said teachers must have the freedom to send a child out of the classroom when they were misbehaving.' Here we have the Removal Paradox: students can be removed from the classroom if their behaviour…
I thought I would fact check this bizarre article from this weekend's Observer (not, as people keep saying, the @guardian, which normally is much better for quality education coverage). It's almost easier to find out what is true, than to deal with all the inaccuracies. 🧵

A 🧵 on unintended consequences of mental health interventions, and why some school and workplace schemes may be contributing to the problem they were designed to solve. 1/10
@naomicfisher Respectfully I genuinely think you should place yourself in some of the toughest schools for an extended period of time & come back to the table. Your criticisms of schools & teachers is tiresome. Why not work with the sector & genuinely help….
This needs to be addressed @AnnaFazack1. I’ve worked in tough schools and classes for well over a decade. The claim quoted below in your article is completely false, and is a serious slur on my professional reputation. Please retract and correct this. This was not hard to check.…
Oh no. @ObserverUK is writing about education. Still, how badly could Anna Fazackerly have screwed up this time? Oh.

SUSPENSIONS. Quick reminder: 1. Schools with challenging intakes need more disciplinary responses than ones without 2. Suspensions are one way to help reduce exclusions 3. Schools that need to suspend, need to suspend 4. If they don’t, the environment gets much worse for…
On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme. None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why. The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ…
