Gyokeres reminds me of the American guests you used to get on Soccer AM, who looked like they were kicking a ball for the first time when stepping up to take a penalty in the car park.

Awful customer service from @IKEAUK. They offered me £5 for all the hassle. I paid £40 for express delivery and got slower than standard and wrong missing parts ordered.

Despite being asked to email by @IKEAUK I've not had a reply for 4 days regarding my complaint. Sofa was delivered missing covers, then wrong cover was ordered by them and it didn't end up arriving until 4 days after the express delivery date. I love @IKEAUK but feel letdown 🥲

Here's just one video of many I took to evidence the disruption during a screening of Minecraft movie @vuecinemas in Plymouth. Absolutely ruined it for my 6 year old and his 2 cousins. Despite several complaints from myself and other parents staff did nothing.

Boys are almost 1.5x more likely to be recorded as having a special educational need as girls Either: Boys genuinely are more likely to have a special educational need OR The way we identify these needs is broken

@AdamHighcliffe I don’t know any schools that use “high control” as a term. High expectations yes as we want our students leaving school with high expectations of themselves and others this includes SEND students. Clear routines and consistency have been proven to support SEND students most.

Once again for those who don't get it: 1. High-control schools create pointless barriers to kids' sense of safety. 2. SEND kids can struggle hardest. 3. High-control schools punish SEND kids for the inability to withstand this. 4. SEND kids suffer exclusions disproportionately.

Well said!

There are no schools in the UK that follow a ‘no excuses’ model. This entire argument is based on tilting at a windmill that doesn’t exist. There are lots of schools with high standards, high expectations etc. This is not the same thing, and pretending they are is an enormous disservice to the schools that work incredibly hard to keep often chaotic environments safe for children, and demonstrates a lack of familiarity with the landscape of schools. Schools where chaotic behaviour is normal are *incredibly* bad environments for student safety, liberty, rights, mental health, wellbeing….and learning. In order to properly criticise a school it is necessary to spend time in the school. This is why Ofsted don’t write their evaluations based on what they read about a school on social media, plus a few angry letters from parents. I’ve been to all the schools described here. They’re strict, but very happy environments where children tell me they enjoy it, and they’re free from the instability of bullying, disruption etc. They also tell me how bad it used to be, how unsafe, etc. These schools are working miracles. They’re doing exactly what we hope they would for kids, especially disadvantaged children or children with SEN: they’re giving them a great education is a safe environment. And still, arguments are made against them, often ideological or theoretical in basis. I invite critics of these brilliant schools to set up their own schools, and demonstrate what they would do instead. Until then, I applaud these brilliant leaders, teachers and staff for the good that they do, because they actually make a difference in the lives of children in the real world.

This made my day! Although the football injury comment was harsh, but accurate.

@martin_piper Interesting and it is really useful for students and not just those wanting to Jon that sector. Coursework heavy though!
