Kemi Badenoch on #BBCLauraK saying both 9 months is too short to turn her party mess around after 14 years but 9 months is plenty to turn around the mess her country made to the country. Surely she sees the contradiction here? @bbclaurak.bsky.social

More research needs to be be done into unsuccessful applications, moved rolls and EHE from schools with no excuses approaches. I've seen first hand the messaging during the early meeting around a school application, the dissuasion. I've seen moves away that are made to secure support.

Mapped nearly 1000 Alternative Provisions across the UK so far as part of a project. Thousands more to add I'm sure. Pop the web address of any you know below please and I'll add them on! Share please!

Nigel Farage claiming to believe fully in free speech - I guess he wouldn't be suing anyone for defamation then if they accused him of something he hadn't done then?

Dan - Semh.co.uk @dansemh.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Nigel Farage saying that he believes in free speech totally but with limits is a typical right wing device. He believes in free speech he agrees with, that's the limit.

Do wonder what edutwitter is making of the sky high suspensions report today. After trying to convince us they weren't increasing, now the increase will be presented as not a problem. It is a problem - it's a sign that support is needed. You can't just dismiss it as "worsening behaviour".

Went to my granddad's funeral today, experienced an overwhelming sense of grief not felt before. Memories came flooding back. Made me think of those that stuck for me may have been small moments for him, but hugely significant in my mind. We never know which interactions make the biggest difference.

There is much to useful theory to use from research on cognitive science in learning, but I feel the gap missed in recent years is not paying enough attention to the readiness and capacity to learn of the the recipient. We don't work with "econs" and differing, complimentary strategies have value.

This would make my life a lot easier. The amount of consultations that come back with no positive response is increasing all the time. #edusky #uked

Good news but long overdue. Replacing educational titles with business ones is a culture signal about why you exist. Putting them back is a sign of a positive new direction.

The myth of parental choice on schools renders Ofsted judgements of limited use anyway. The truth is, you don't get much choice. You live where you can afford, with those prices being influenced by the surrounding schools. There's also no guarantee you'll get in to a specific school.

Dan - Semh.co.uk @dansemh.bsky.social · 02/09/2024

The Ofsted news is brilliant but it's one of those situations where people have been saying there is a problem for years but it takes something incredibly tragic for anyone to act. There should be an inquiry into Ofsted's impact on staff and consistency of judgement. #edusky #uked

If this was said following up with..."so what can we do to address the disadvantage that doesn't cause them to be repeatedly punished' we would be heading in the right direction. So close but so far.

A really good way to spot this type of account running is someone who posts content that is very controversial and doubles down on it then peppers these posts with palate cleansers of cute animals or children.

In two years time those of us who left Twitter accounts still standing will sign back in to have a peak and it will just be this, with accounts desperate to maintain interaction revenue and profile posting more and more ridiculous content.

Just been to we buy any car to follow up on an original quote. Years later, not much has changed. Same old barter you down ridiculously low, try every sales trick in the book. "I'll exclude my bonus", "let me call the manager", anchoring ridiculously low quotes in our mind...shame!

I think it would be a good idea for us all on #edusky #uked to commit on here to interacting better with those with disagree with. I'll start - I will do my bit to make sure this place is better than #edutwitter through my own interactions. Share with your own commitment!

The classroom teacher Vs former classroom teacher narrative is the most damaging in education. It leads to discussions on the right to comment on education that focus on SLT or not, which type of schools you've worked in, part time or full time...it's gatekeeping by those who don't want change.

There's no doubt CYP who have experienced trauma need rules, routines and boundaries. But how they are delivered is key. Care, support, sensitivity, safety, within an informed relationship. And what would be the harm in that for all children? #traumainformedpractice
