“It’s easy to control a five-year-old with a sticker, but 15-year-olds will laugh in your face.”

I’ve never tried to *control* anyone with a sticker, but I’ve never met a teenager who does not L O V E some recognition l, some praise - and a sparkley sticker. Not one,

61% this phone collection is the way forward.

I’m wondering if the perceived logistical issues created the big split in school staff votes 🤔

Interesting so far. The percentages have stayed pretty steady.

Phones should be collected by the school in the morning and returned at the end of the day. Ben Newmark Adam Boxer (find me on 🧵s) Clive Hill Bad_school_parent 💙📚🤦🏻 Mumin Humayun Jenny Griffiths Miss Jewitt Isaac Moore (on Threads as isaacmoore7775)

There's a teacher shortage coming. It's been coming for a while, but was staved off by the pandemic.

Now, it's heaving back into view & it isn't pretty.

It's easy to blame the DfE, but I think some other things are happening that matter outside of education too 🧵... STRAP IN!

Does anyone have a highly effective way of structuring an intervention when a child is removed from class - something to support reflection and move towards the behaviour not being repeated?

Is insisting children comply a bad thing? If there are 1500 of them all in one building, compliance is necessary to keep everyone safe. If all 1500 decided to screw the rules? It would be absolute chaos - and *most* dangerous for our most vulnerable.

‘The educational sector’s poor standing is due, in part, to large gaps in Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs); of the worst-performing 100 public bodies with the largest gender pay gap, all but three were academy trusts.’

Really shocking. 👿👿👿 #WomenEd

Pretty much every school has some form of tracking system. But why? What are tracking systems for? 🧵

I don’t know where to begin with this poster.

As a *non expert* what do I look for when viewing a second hand car? I need something beyond “Does it have all its wheels?”

This is such a useful, reflective piece.
