I've just had a despairing DM from an English teacher who is being expected to follow rigid teaching strategies that seem to them to be wholly inappropriate for the subject. This is not unusual. They don't feel able to say this publicly. So I try to say it for them!

It's depressing but I have already seen headlines and news reports this week of children excluded or placed in isolation for uniform breaches. I really do appeal to school leaders to think about what uniform is for and what they are trying to achieve. johncosgrove55.wordpress.com/2023/09/02/a-u…
