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

Thanks Lewis. I need something to make it make sense

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.

Making something relatable doesn't mean taking away opportunity or learning. And in terms of aspirations...people aspire to do different things and there are many routes. She was a political pick from start to finish.

Can tell it's Friday. Today I found myself leaning slightly to the side to see someone who was a bit off camera on Teams, like I could somehow see around the corner of their frame 🤣🤣

Education has changed around the children. Support has been withdrawn. Boundaries have tightened to the point they generate friction instead of maintain safety. Curriculums have narrowed. Staffing has reduced. Admissions are a mess. The SEND system is broken.

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".

This was disappointing. Would have been better if someone not as close to him was interviewing him, the little pushback given was tempered by what felt like the desire to maintain friendships

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.

Just to let all the other Dads know, my daughter said I was the strongest Dad in the whole world today. Sorry about that but I thought you all should know.

I walked a long way and got a bus. But just like you, I didn't assume that my circumstances applied to everyone else or were comparable. I didn't know this about house design so thank you!

It definitely wouldn't be made like that now, but I think it develops over time and improves.

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.

Feel like this was obvious to most though, and people said it at the time.

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

Planned obsolescence has been replaced by subscriptions for everything. Just keep spending. Never have, always need. That way you have to keep working forever. www.theverge.com/2024/8/6/242...

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.
