@RachelFairfiel1 @realdoll03 @AdamHighcliffe You know how it is Rachel, there are two sides to every story. And of the dozens of Heads and other leaders Iโve met in over 20 years in schools, moments like this are very very few and far between.

Timely, just heard from a local child how the local head gathered year 2โs into the room to shout at them because a child broke something. Many started crying. It canโt just be meโฆ ๐ณ#SEND

As the authoritarian lobby group continues to flog out-of-date Kool-Aid to a global audience, it's to be hoped that England turns its back on the 20th century, and starts to grasp the present. You can't educate kids by traumatising them. It's time to understand them. 4/4

Blimey. Twice in a week. Another person I don't follow or agree with very often but absolutely bang on the money here. Totally recognise my (previous) self in this.

When I look on my teaching career, the darkest times were always those when I didn't manage the noise well enough and became too sucked up into always-negative conversation and bouts of (righteous) outrage

Had to be done didnโt it.

Intentional vexatious complaints take up a lot of school time and resources and increase workload and stress for staff and volunteer governors. They cost money too.
Enough is enough.

Crikey. Don't agree with Stuart much and am blocked by him but he's right on the money with every single one of these.

@adamboxer1 Keep an exercise book on your desk. Date every day. Note every single conversation, discipline (phone/ person) about a child and keep doing it forever. Saves incredible amounts of time and resists duplication.

It takes me exactly 22 and a half minutes to drink a pint. I wonder why that is.

@eToro Okay so I thought Iโd read @RichardDawkins โGod Delusionโ same way Iโd read โTibetan Book of the Deadโ.
Hard hard no from me on both counts.

There's something about a child coming to you on the playground at the start of the day and proudly presenting you with something they made at home, just for you, that makes your day start with an extra cheerful smile

@ed_objective @MrHtheteacher You know what the English Lead said to me @ed_objective? Youโve got โPrimary vibes!โ ๐๐๐

@TheStudentLeads I have nothing sensible to say about this.

@Emma_Turner75 I was in charge of authority-wide training on interactive whiteboards (Promethean at the time) while at my first secondary school and I can assure you that, used intelligently, they are by far one of the best classroom tools for presentation, practice, student engagement etc...

When I first started teaching there was no PowerPoint,no digital projection whatsoever & no laptops. Learning the craft โanalogueโ was a brilliant experience & sharpened all aspects of teaching; Iโd still always choose real pen and real board over digital almost 100% of the time.
Sam Strickland@Samstricko181
Teaching with just a pen is a hugely under-estimated art that can have a profound impact on pupil learningโฆ. It relies on the teaching being the expert.
