@eduleadership @5Naureen Its not "on hand", it was bought to give out one each, presumably because they know how many students they have. What are the schools options for not being in a losing position? Buy twice as much? Then a kid takes five, are we buying five times as much? Remarkable logic.

@5Naureen I would say students are definitely entitled to two bottles of water if that’s how much they need on a hot day. Limiting them to one each may have seemed reasonable given how much they had on hand, but it puts the school in a losing position.

A lot of people I respect and usually agree with are siding with the school. Maybe this is a cultural difference. Where I live, it gets really hot, and water is not something to be stingy about. We have kids overheat and die every summer (usually football).
Sam Strickland@SamStrickers181

When schools hand out items they aren’t free. The school has paid for them. If a pupil is offered 1 item then the child shouldn’t take 2 & run away when challenged. This shouldn’t be defended. It’s theft.

In the public eye, scale and proportion stop mattering. The story gets reduced to “evil school withholds water.” It becomes irrelevant that the kid already had one full bottle of water.

But even if it’s technically correct, I don’t think it’s in the school’s best interests to frame this as “stealing.” In general, you can’t steal something that is free or that you are entitled to an unlimited amount of.

Exclusive: There is ‘almost no downside’ to the introduction of digital exams, says @AQA boss Colin Hughes, calling for more urgency in moving to on-screen assessment, despite recent problems with traditional exams tes.com/magazine/news/…

I’m staggered the amount of people who genuinely don’t think Elliot Anderson was fouled by Haaland for Norways disallowed goal. You just can’t go round the pitch pushing people over with 2 hands. He didn’t dive, Haaland is 6ft 5, massive, Elliot off balance, it’s a foul.

THIS is why soccer will never become popular with men in the US. It's a feminine game played by and for weak & feeble men. This Norwegian should be playing a man's game, not this estrogen filled game. But unfortunately, for him, he was born in the wrong country.

This whole (non) "issue" is quite revealing in terms of how A LOT of people view education. Never mind the fact most people criticising the school for "not providing water in a heat wave" have ignored the fact that is literally what the school was doing!
Teacher's Manual@UnofficialOA

I have seen schools where children can ignore instructions from staff with little or no consequence. It is only a matter of time before their staff leave, they fail their inspection, etc. The only thing that keeps both students and staff safe is a firm behaviour policy.

@stokieadam Watch his feet in turn, he's stepping backwards left to right then just stops stepping and does a back flip

@stokieadam Just looks unnatural doesn’t it. Thats either because Haaland is massive or Anderson is diving.

@le0nardpoetry A 40 minute detention about a bottle of water during a heatwave is hardly behaviour management.

Reason number 500 why people leave teaching: entitled parents posting the name of a teacher online for following a pretty obvious and fair policy, and getting 21,000 likes for it. Can you imagine how this poor teacher feels? Unbelievable

@Perky_43 The whole things stinks Steve, either trust in the Police is at rock bottom, or the activities of the Police require scrutiny. Not sure which is worse.

A very clear update from Devon & Cornwall Police regarding the murder of Ann Widdecombe. If you continue to speculate, post misinformation & engage in online discussion about the ongoing investigation, you are being incredibly unhelpful & are hindering the police.

Am I missing something here? - Child did something wrong. - Staff gave child the chance to put things right. - Child chose not to and ran off instead. - Staff left with no option other than to take appropriate action. - WW3 has now ensued on X.

Wrongly accused of stopping in a yellow box by Hammersmith and Fulham Council, I appealed but they refuse to disclose evidence. My wife forbids me contesting any further coz she’s so bored with it and I pay £160 fine for a thing I didn’t do. BASTARDS. thetimes.com/article/a38408…

Any food served in NHS hospitals should be billed to the patient after they leave hospital. You are there for medical treatment. Why should you get free food? If you were at home, you would feed yourself.
