Reposted by EvanitamushroomMary J @primaryteachermary.bsky.social · 21hInstead of putting our time and energy into making changes and doing things in school that the inspectors might want to see, how about looking at the children in front of us, working out what they need most, and finding the best way to do that. That is how we will make schools better. 2164
