@peter_lydon @PaulGarvey4 @OKR1995 @MrTs_NQTs @DeputyGrocott I agree respect is learnt in family initially, but from experience it’s also clear that when you model respect, warmth, fairness and are firm in these cases, children DO respond well… Takes time and patience but it works most of the time.

Disrespect brought from home cares not for fairness, warmth and love. Johnny who disrespects his teachers is also more likely to disrespect his peers, where there is no power imbalance. Adults have to adult. One can call that a 'power differential' but the corollary is that we can teach children nothing. (That's not to ignore that there can be abuses of power).

Any other teachers struggling with the complete lack of respect children have for adults these days? How do you teach respect? I can’t get over the way some children talk to me… and in I’m Year 2!! Any advice would be helpful thank you 🙏🏼 @MrTs_NQTs @DeputyGrocott #teacher

We have wondered, we have wandered, and we have raised almost £3K to fund philosophy clubs in schools, so young people can connect with others, enjoy learning and resist polarisation, misinformation and hate.@SAPERE_P4C #WonderWander2024

We were contacted recently by a school interested in applying P4C more in their outdoor learning initiatives. If this sounds like something which may also benefit your setting and pupils, our Thinking with Nature course might be of interest... buff.ly/3WRvAUr

If you were Noah, would you have taken a dinosaur on your Ark?

@JustSarahHodges @alfiekohn Amazing! Do you have any thoughts you wouldn’t mind sharing? The question occupies my mind more than it should. Would love to hear/read what you have to say.

@danielaphilos @alfiekohn I am working on something. Just turned it in as a graduate degree paper. I hope to someday publish in a different format.

1/3 Just before his death in 1952, Dewey reflected on how little of his vision had made it into schools, how the changes that did occur were merely "atmospheric" & hadn't "really penetrated the foundations of the ed'al instn," leaving its "fundamental authoritarianism" intact...

@NoriegaSala @alfiekohn Thanks! Is this an analysis or does it also make suggestions ?

@danielaphilos @alfiekohn You can start with The Crisis of Western Civilization by Christopher Dawson 1961. Great Book.

Looking forward to this year’s @SOPHIA_Network meeting hosted by @philosophyjason in Cambridge

@G_Rock_Steady @BROHT1 We will be so happy to see you! Have a lovely holiday and hopefully see you soon!

Just brilliant!

@philos_backpack Wonderful!! It’s the thoughtfulness, memory and meaning that counts! Stuff fades but what power there is in that shared moment of joy and connection.

I understand what’s being said here about equity but fwiw, my favourite gifts to receive from students are handwritten notes and/or drawings - even if on a bit of lined paper they found in the classroom. I’m sure most colleagues would agree.

@BuddhismViews @BROHT1 Yes! Will feed this back.

@BROHT1 @danielaphilos Heard good things about this, though it's a great shame the panel were all men. A bit of gender diversity would have been helpful.

A fascinating morning with an inter-faith panel of 6 at @BroHighOfficial. So important for young people to see religious and values-based leaders explain their deep devotion, yet retain utmost respect for others' views. Learners told me they had enjoyed it and 'learned loads'.

SO proud of these two and what an honour it has been to work with such motivated and inspiring people. Thanks to @BROHT1 and @BroughtonPhilos for all the support as well - what a joy to be part of this community.

“Can someone buy me a McDonald’s, I’m in the mood for a Lower Pleasure today” - one of my year 9s 😂 guess what we’re learning about in philosophy?

@BroughtonPhilos @BroHistory1 @BROHT1 @wisdomcollectv Such a simple solution! 😂 brilliant.

@BroHistory1 one for early childcare- philosophy and humour! @BROHT1 @danielaphilos @wisdomcollectv

@MissRoss_Ed @MorayHouse We created teaching resources with the National Galleries to extend thinking and exploring art. nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artist… and nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artist… if you're interested!

Really engaging visit to the National Portrait Gallery yesterday - loved exploring activities we can use to get children thinking about expressive arts🎨 So many links with other curricular areas and really keen to explore this further #UoEPGDEp #primaryteaching @MorayHouse
