@BreamGeorge I can't currently provide links as it is saved on my laptop, all I can tell you is the data source which is what I keep telling you when you ask. I'm not sure what else you would currently like from me? I've even taken others comments on board and said I will revisit my analysis
English
@EyesShutTeacher @EdnaKrabapple1 @X @STVNews @EISUnion I also work as a TA and have experience in a wide range of English and Scottish schools.
English
@PlayLedEdUK @EdnaKrabapple1 @X @STVNews @EISUnion Not sure what data you’re basing this on but my experience says otherwise. We are increasingly experiencing violence as young as P1 with some pupils kicking, biting, hitting & spitting at staff & pupils several times a day. Experienced staff regularly going home injured.
English
I thank @X for giving me & other #Scottishteachers the platform to highlight the terrible levels of violence & aggression in our schools. We can now share what we've all experienced for yrs. It's just a pity our political leaders still choose to ignore it all. @STVNews @EISUnion

I’ve seen a lot of commentary from people talking about a spike in poor behaviour at school. I think this is slightly misleading. School behaviour has been *far* worse than most of the public imagined for a long, long time, decades at least. It’s just that people are now facing up to that reality, or realising it. For years the political and educational establishment denied there was a problem, and only by persistent campaigning by people inside schools has this stone been lifted up. Now-thank god- there is a greater understanding of the importance of good behaviour, and the extent of the problem we face.
English
@EdnaKrabapple1 @X @STVNews @EISUnion I've realised I am talking to a brick wall as there are the teachers who want nice little compliant children and those that want to understand what children actually want and need for their long term benefit. Those commenting on here belong in the first group.
English
@Kontrastmittel @JonHaidt @ZachMRausch This is the most sensible comment. It is not one or the other but a combination of lots of reasons. Sadly, some psychologists just want 5 mins of fame and choose a controversial pov to get the newspaper headlines.
English
@JonHaidt @ZachMRausch have you guys (haidt, gray,..) ever considered that both of you might be right, that your explanations for the declining mental health in the younger generation are not mutually exclusive?
English
Big news in the debate over correlation vs. causation: @ZachMRausch and I re-analyze a recent meta-analysis of experiments and find that reducing social media use for more than a week DOES improve mental health. Abstaining for a day causes withdrawal.

@tombennett71 Behaviour survey shows in Scotland behaviour is getting better or staying the same but in England it is getting worse. So need to question zero tolerance and exclusion policies in England as after 10 yrs they are not working
English
The guidance for schools is now solid; the ITT better - but not perfect yet. The whole sector is now better placed to tackle this. It will be good to see where we can build on that, probably in the SEN support sector

@GovTutor @tombennett71 I see it daily in my own class. I saw my own daughter losing her love of reading until thankfully her teacher told her not to bother reading school books. It is one of many, many issues with our education system.
English
@PlayLedEdUK @tombennett71 Nonsense. 1st, it's the furthest from rote learning you can get, & 2nd, children are HUGELY excited to read real books using their new knowledge & skills. They quickly progress to even more exciting books & in the meantime will share, or be read to, books they can't decode yet
English
One of those rare success stories where evidence drove the policy, the policy became a daily reality, and everyone won thetimes.co.uk/article/how-we…
English
@tombennett71 Ah ok, I'll ignore what I see in front of me then, the children that came to school loving reading but won't read the phonics books because they are boring.
English
@PlayLedEdUK There’s no evidence to suggest that phonics has caused that phenomenon.

Othering or inclusion?
Until we have a flexible school system that includes and accepts everyone then those changes just highlight our differences rather than make us feel like we belong..
How can we create communities of belonging and shared experience rather than othering?
English
@OTLHENAC @BrettYoud @tombennett71 As so many people think that have no knowledge of SEN, it's obviously bad home life and useless parenting not actual autism or ND.
English
@BrettYoud @tombennett71 Why would a diagnosis help how things are going at home though?
English
Doctor who helped broaden autism spectrum 'very sorry' for over-diagnosis nypost.com/2023/04/24/doc…
English
@DHallowsPodcast @tombennett71 Oh and now at 8 years old she is suffering from anxiety, struggling to go to school, can't sleep and is pulling the skin off her fingers bc no one would listen to 'just' her mother.
English
@BrettYoud @DavidMc80397417 @MissLauraMW @tombennett71 Because many children do not show traits in school due to masking or schools refuse to see them or don't understand differing presentations. Teachers don't know the children better than everyone else.
English
@DavidMc80397417 @MissLauraMW @tombennett71 So many diagnosis of students now do not ask for any input from the school. It was not that long ago it always happened, not so much any more?
Why?
English
@BrettYoud @tombennett71 Autism is actually under diagnosed, this is a load of BS
English
@tombennett71 Mm very interested if the autism disability group pile onto you as they did me. Apparent saying autism is over diagnosed and that takes funds from those with the most needs is abelist and denies adhd is a disability.

@newsham_mary @RetirementTales @RogersHistory To some extent but also in the past children didn't have the voice to communicate their discontent or insecurity and there were non or little safeguarding measures as now. So more than likely it hasn't grown, we are just aware of it now. Think of the beatings kids used to get
English
@RetirementTales @RogersHistory Perhaps some of the struggles of children and young people are also down, in part at least, to a significant societal shift in family makeup in this generation? Many children are somehow less secure within their family settings than those of past generations.
English
Decline in student behaviour
Decline in teacher pay
Decline in teacher respect
Decline in school funding
Increase in teacher workload
Increase in teacher stress
Increase in parental complaints
Increase in teachers striking
Continuing recruitment and retention crisis.

@hopkinsmmi @thepetitioner @BarbaraBleiman @Dr_Pam_Jarvis It's the half knowledge of cognitive science that leads to this. Too many in education thinking they understand cognition when they understand the simple take that has been given in ITT or similar. Cognitive overload if another widely misunderstood theory in education.
English
@thepetitioner @BarbaraBleiman @Dr_Pam_Jarvis It’s the obsession with a cognitive process over and above any other areas of development - the fetishisation of ‘cognitive science’ leads to this kind of nonsense.
English
This! And the crib sheets I’ve seen are ideologically skewed and deeply flawed. Schools are contorting themselves to fit the narrow agenda of those who control Ofsted, in secondary often applied crudely to subjects by non-specialists.
Julie Price Grimshaw@Julespg
A fellow ex-inspector said the other day that the full version of RI is ‘requiring improvement in order to conform to the content of our crib sheets’.

@RussellFindlay1 There is signficant research and real life evidence to show that imprisoning young adults can lead to a worse out come for them. Also, developmentally it is correct that brains aren't fully developed. Shouldn't walk away without punishment but prison is not the right place.
English
A thread 🧵
There's understandable anger across the UK at a child-rapist being spared prison by a Scottish court.
The 21-year-old will do community service which a top lawyer calls 'extraordinary' and a rape charity says is 'inexplicable'👇
