@netflix Harry’s broken Netflix??

READY….STEADY….GO!!! #HarryStylesNetflix Harry Styles. One Night in Manchester. Now playing.

@Ella_AlShamahi Incredible feat of production, I can’t get enough!

Tonight at 9pm on BBC2. Episode 4 is the story of how we got to the Americas and made it our home… only I’ve never seen it told like this before. From footprints in New Mexico to the invention of farming and cities. Do tune in.

@DarrellWakelam Loved our session with you today Darrell, always a highlight of my school year to see our pupils work alongside you and the masterpieces they create with your support and encouragement.

I've had an amazing day at Westfield College in Weymouth. The children are building sculptures of 'mountaineers' and this is the progress just today. The ideas, and the level of detail in the work is incredible, have a close look. These children all have additional needs.

@charliersmith1 What is wrong with people?!? Why do people feel entitled to comment on someone’s body so freely? You look fabulous

This week, I’ve never had so much criticism of my body. People telling me to lose weight, that I’ve ‘let myself go’, implying I should be ashamed… But, screw that - I’m proud of who I am, so here’s another photo 😊

@ItsEmilyKaty I just looked at your first photo, not seeing who had posted and thought I must recommend @ItsEmilyKaty! 😆🤦🏻‍♀️

@tombennett71 I think current daily experience of working at the coal face directly with children all day is extremely valid and using your terms of reference would be likened to the visitor to Egypt.

Not all experiences are equally valid surely? The experience of someone who has lived in Egypt is surely worth more than the person who read about it in a book. Underfunded doesn’t mean draconian behaviour policies. If anything, underfunding tends to lead schools to magical thinking about what works, ignoring problems, or pretending things are ok.

I think part of the reason that the behaviour debate produces so many activists who refuse to accept that schools need boundaries and consequences, is that if they were to acknowledge the evidence that their approaches actually harm children, it would be too much to bear. So, many double down.

@tombennett71 Our experiences are clearly different but each still valid, though I’ve not written my book yet. Just because underfunded schools can only facilitate draconian behaviour policies doesn’t make it right. We can always do better

I don’t understand what ‘pushing a damaging debate’ means. I’m making a factual statement based on my experience of over 1000 school contexts. The damage is done when schools call themselves child centred and then fail to provide boundaries. I have seen this *countless* times. The term now means ‘we will attempt to do anything but set boundaries.’

@greeborunner @Culross_Harbour @tombennett71 All valid points, but I think we can all learn to do better. It’s the dismissal of a child-centred approach that we see here from @tombennett71 that perpetuates this tribalism we see. If we were all willing to learn from each other, maybe we’d all benefit, especially children

@Lucy240679 @Culross_Harbour @tombennett71 Maybe those barriers mean it's not possible on a wide scale? Investing time (which ultimately means not investing in something else & likely will also mean money) is not something many have, including the pupils who have to be in potentially unsafe environments while we get there

@Brancaster123 @JDteach1991 @RogersHistory 😆

@Lucy240679 @JDteach1991 @RogersHistory I can’t unfortunately as I don’t have the qualifications but my niece has just joined your profession and loves it in part because of all the free time she has

Completely pointless saying "don't do any work over Christmas" if workload is so high that someone will have a breakdown on return to work if they don't do anything.

@Brancaster123 @JDteach1991 @RogersHistory Perhaps you can join the workforce, we’re in desperate need as so many are burnt out and leaving

@JDteach1991 @RogersHistory These are like stories brought out by your drunk uncle at Christmas- ie they never happened- ironically the only people who work in education who do anywhere near 65hrs a week would be boarding school house masters

@MrB_West @RogersHistory That’s the crux of it, if you don’t start off being ahead, you spend all term on catch up! The work doesn’t go anywhere and increases the stress. As an ECT 2 this is my biggest struggle

@RogersHistory I have worked, but on my own terms. Well, that’s not exactly true because the stuff still needs doing… but it will make my first week back more doable than if I hadn’t!

@Culross_Harbour @tombennett71 That may well be the case, but that’s a problem with the implementation rather than the approach. When done well it can be very impressive. It’s not an easy option though, takes investment in time and commitment. Many schools are unable (or unwilling) to consider such a big shift

@Lucy240679 @tombennett71 I think the problem is that too often the meaningful consequences are just not there.

@JamesMelville I’ll take an outside piece!

@TerryCulkin1 Absolutely stunning! 🤩

A quick photo of this window, it’s in at last. More photos to follow.

@Matt_Pinner Of course!

Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color and religion???

@Headteacherchat I’m kind of envious, sounds like very pure way of teaching

When I first started working as a teacher, I had the following: No computers No photocopier No PPA. No TA. Had to create my own resources. I had a backboard, which you could put all your lessons on. Always pushing the only TV from the AV room to my classroom

@ShakinthatChalk @UnofficialOA I see what you’re saying but at the same time we can’t condone retaliation either. ‘Eye for an eye’ society

@UnofficialOA You’ve missed the point and I’m suspecting deliberately so. If you can’t see the point here I’m not interested.

Behaviour management at my boys boxing club tonight. One lad clearly a difficult character. Kept misbehaving He punches my boy who hit him back immediately. Coaches intervened and rebuked the lad and openly said my boy did nothing wrong In school both would have been punished.

@Miss_c____ An 8 weeker at start of Autumn term feels brutally long! Let’s dig deep!
