No-one seems to be pointing out that a group of children who "struggle to engage" with academic pathways are too busy dicking around in lessons, with parental approval, and that they would do the same and fail to get vocational qualifications too.

Teachers are so often a glue that holds society together.

Feeling sympathy for the magpie parents teaching their kids to fly in my back garden. They are modelling beautifully - repeating a short flap from said kids to a low section of our fence - but kids are studiously ignoring, continuing to waddle about and peck in our rockery. We've all been there!

It isn't possible to design a school system where everyone leaves with the skills needed for the workplace because *they're all going to do different jobs*. Workplace training needs to be done by employers.

I've been on exclusion panels as a governor. It's utterly horrendous. You just don't do that unless you feel you have to protect others in the school.

There's is so much guff written about exclusion. A lot of people are desperate to prove schools at fault when they nearly all use permanent exclusion as a very last resort.

Enjoyed employing the old 'Eye of Sauron' technique on a lesson walkabout this afternoon, scanning the room with an icy stare and then fixing it on individuals who caught my attention for the wrong reasons long enough to make them uncomfortable. Strongly recommend.

We need to take stories more seriously! Because stories are enjoyable, we have a tendency to underestimate their power. Great stories are important for their own sake. However, great stories can also do some heavy lifting for us. /1

The three pedagogy/T&L things that generally schools need to focus on are 1. Behaviour 2. Attention 3. A long term memory strategy For most schools, nothing else is as important.

In a school where the behaviour culture is strong and behaviour leadership is everywhere, a good teacher can be an excellent teacher. In a school where it's absent, a good teacher will have to fight just to remain good, and it will probably burn them out in the process.

Perhaps don’t make bold claims about becoming an AI powerhouse if you’re going to cut funding for mathematics education a few days later. What, precisely, do you think AI is?!

This is really interesting. A nuanced view of the exclusions issue, a way forward in a debate that is often presented as a binary, when it isn’t.

We do this through compassionate consistency. Kids need a framework of boundaries to hang that self-regulation and discipline from. Expecting one to magically develop without any perceivable rules and consequences is a mistake!
