It’s ok for something that’s broken to remain broken for a while. Most stakeholders can keep going in a broken system as long as they don’t have to fight to prove it anymore. The speed of the ‘fix’ is not more important than the quality of it.

A teacher briefing on Y6 transition day: “We were told, if there was ever an opportunity, could we shout at the children and make them cry, so they felt frightened and intimidated ahead of starting in Sept.” These kids were 10. In a strange school. “Healthy” fear? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

This sounds like one rule for some and one rule for others Pepe? I wonder what criteria allows some cases to be judged more, or less important. Surely any official body would need to explain its methodology, especially one with the power to end someone’s career?

Interesting hearing that the #TRA (Teacher Regulator) is going through Hearings and discarding some with no written reports.They have a spotlight upon them and are trying to act like there’s nothing to see here. It’s a failing regulator that could become part of any educator’s life at any moment.

Sneaky, nasty, vile little creatures. That’s about the nicest thing I can put in print for this kind of bullying BS. If we found this behaviour in playgrounds from kids there would be uproar! Why is it accepted from grown ass adults that SHOULD know better?

I love Margaret Reynolds' comment, "behaviour is a child's first language!" Since I work with ponies it is vital to teach that behaviour is a language, and punishing behaviour is punishing communication. Not a good idea.

What's most remarkable about this to me is the strong individual ratings (by modern standards) for even losing candidates in the second half of the 20th century. Look at Walter Mondale's figures - he got absolutely destroyed in that election! Like a window into a lost world.

ALL behaviours are communication. This is still an area I see massively misunderstood in far too many schools😞sanctioning a child for unmet needs is never OK. It’s discriminatory at worst and cruel at best - not a good look. I also question how it fits with Teaching Standards🫤 #SEND #autism #ADHD
