Becky Guthrie @beckyguthrie.bsky.social · 20/06/2025This is brilliant. It has me reflecting on how, in Scotland, parents aren’t generally fined for children not attending. No praise and behaviour points, where some children feel quantifiably labelled as more ‘bad’ than ‘good’. It certainly isn’t perfect here, but is an interesting contrast! #EdPsychs 011
