Just boarded a 3-hour flight. A man in the queue ordered me to "sit down" v brusquely before moving further down the plane. The woman next to me asked what had happened. I replied "he was a bit rude." He has returned and is now sitting between us. He and the woman are married.

The @MCRMetrolink today was a scary place. A man engaged in loud, inappropriate conversations with anyone, unprompted, many minors, my daughter included, I asked him to stop, which he did the 1st time. The 2nd time he got angry. I disengaged for our safety. No one else did 1/2

2/2 not even when he lit up and smoked a cigarette and advised everyone he didn't care.made her put on music and we ignored the man, we didn't feel safe and he tried multiple times to engage. Didn't feel we were in a place to escalate safely, any advice for future? @MCRMetrolink

@naomicfisher Reading your tweet, with a child in high school with similar measure to those you have described, makes me wonder if these sanctions are devised from evidence based studies, like any changes in health care

The social contract between parents and school. When there’s media coverage of the ‘attendance crisis’ we often hear that the social contract between schools and parents seems to have been broken. Schools say that parents don’t back them up in the same way, complain more than they used to and question school policies. They often blame social media, or changing expectations and entitlement. What is less often talked about is how that social contract has changed. As high control behaviour policies are implemented by an increasing number of academy schools, parents see their children being put in detention or isolation for minor misdemeanours, and they object. They think it’s unhelpful to put an 11-year-old into detention because of a missing protractor or the wrong colour socks and they see how distressed it makes their children. They think it’s an over-reaction to put a 14-year-old into isolation until their non-regulation hair cut grows out, or to deny children a hot meal as part of their punishment. They see the impact that this has on their children’s mental health, and they object. As a result, some parents hold their children back from their days in isolation, or their detentions. They can’t see how these strategies will help their child learn, and they can see the damage it does to the way that they feel about school, learning and themselves. I’ve recently had a few parents get in touch with me to say that their schools are implementing extremely harsh consequences for children who miss a detention or isolation. One mother showed me a letter from her child’s school saying that if a child missed a Saturday detention, they would be put into internal exclusion (isolation) for five days. An entire week of being out of lessons, for a missed detention on a day which isn’t a school day and which could disrupt an entire family’s weekend plans. Another behaviour policy I have seen said that if parents do not send their children into isolation against the wishes of the school, then the child will be in external exclusion for two days, followed by two days in internal inclusion, followed by the original number of days of isolation. This is not a contract. Parents are not given a choice about this. If you aren’t freely entering into a contract, then it is coercion. You might say they can change school, but in some areas now all the local schools are run by the same academy trust, and they all have the same policies. This is a high control strategy, extended to parents. The message to parents is that they must do as they are told, even if they can see that it harms their child. It’s no surprise that more parents are complaining, refusing to do this to their children and withdrawing their children from school. They can see the damage and they aren’t prepared to sit by and let it happen. The social contract doesn’t mean that parents do what they are told by schools without question. They are going to put the needs of their child first, and they are right to do so. You can’t force parents into compliance, no matter how many days in isolation you impose on their children.

@CostaCoffee 2pm-ish next to primark. No follow up needed on our behalf. A good resolution would be to have it take off the menu's if its no longer a product offered.

Our current rewatch is of #lockwoodandco she's 12, she purposefully saved her Xmas money to buy her own copy of the 1st book (@TottingtonHigh library for the 1st read ❤️) as a family, we would really really love a second series 😭 @NetflixUK (thank you @JonathanAStroud )
