Reposted by @mrbusby.bsky.socialMichael Tidd @michaelt1979.bsky.social · 03/08/2026No-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. 1121

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! 1293

Reposted by @mrbusby.bsky.socialSam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 23/03/2025There'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. 2334432

Reposted by @mrbusby.bsky.socialTom Rogers @rogershistory.bsky.social · 18/02/2025In 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. 3256
