#edutwitter Over the last three years, I have been completing my masters alongside teaching full-time. If any of you are teachers in the UK and can spare 15 minutes to help me out, I would appreciate if you could complete the linked questionnaire: forms.gle/qVbfzW5pZbecQw…





@tombennett71 In my research, children were excluded for wearing the wrong shoes, turning up to school late due to caring responsibilities, having an older sibling who caused disruption, being illiterate and unable to answer questions correctly and other violations that come with poverty.
