The moment a mother finds the body of her murdered son, thrown into a well by the Russians. Up until then, she hoped he had just been kidnapped but that he was still alive. This is what mothers experience daily in Ukraine. Make sure the world sees it.

Half-termly data drops are a terrible idea: Distort curriculum flow to generate assessment info Tell us nothing about actual learning needs. Overshadow formative assessment. Inefficient way to flag concerns. Nobody looks at most of it. MASSIVE Workload. —> Less is more!

If you are a consultant who is claiming schools shouldn't exclude here's what you should do: 1) Quit. 2) Become a teacher. 3) Get a job in a tough school (not in leadership). 4) Tell the time tabler you'd like to teach the toughest classes they have because you're such an expert.
