Don't allow emotions to dictate gun policy. Tyrants would love nothing more than to capitalize on an evil tragedy as an excuse to confiscate your guns and limit your ability to protect yourself.

"Keir Starmer said: ‘Well, if you don’t like it, leave.’ So I did, and Jeremy and I – along with millions of others – are going to build something new and different. And they are rattled." In her first interview since resigning from the Labour Party, @zarahsultana sets out her…

Adolescence is a really good watch but let’s keep perspective that it’s a TV show - not a documentary, not a DSL’s bible guide. I’m not sure airing it to kids will achieve more than lose 4 hours of teaching time.

This just isn’t true. I was assaulted five times by someone who had plenty of empathy and support but didn’t do detentions/isolation. We permanently excluded them. Avoid teaching proper boundaries in the absence of them at home? That sounds like negligence.

We’re living in increasingly uncertain times, and I know many Londoners are concerned by what’s taking place around the world. I want to remind Londoners that this is your home, and you are wanted here. You help to make London what it is—the greatest city in the world.

This brilliant demonstration by @Mr_Raichura has been rightly much-discussed. But some of the pushback has been very revealing. This is a state comprehensive, inner-city. Not private or affluent. 47.5% children eligible for state-funded free meals. If you don’t think working…

All children I’ve taught love this mode of instruction. Chunk difficult content, teach it explicitly with concrete examples, build on prior knowledge, get everyone participating & feeling successful & praise progress. This is winning combination for ALL pupils.

Refreshing to see behaviour finally at the top of the education agenda. Children *cannot learn* if they’re not paying attention, let alone suffering in chaotic environments. Too many schools are like this, and too many children are currently let down by it.institute.global/insights/publi…

Poor instruction can lead to kids being identified as “learning disabled” without regard to their actual abilities and motivation. We too often rush to blame something wrong with the child when they are in fact healthy and normal but placed in a classroom with a teacher that is…

You can run CPD on metacognition and Mini-White-Boards and send out links to the latest research but if your students are not behaving and working hard you are fiddling with deckchairs.

Spot on from Phillipson, 95% of teachers want orderly, calm classrooms. We know that exclusion is a last, albeit justified, resort. Anti exclusion pro restorative practise only voices are in the fringe. On X they also seem to never actually be teachers

Great demonstration of when a school has rules, but no one insists upon them, or uses consequences of any kind.

‘I knew a bit about Galloway. He had had to resign as the head of a charity called “War on Want,” after repaying some disputed expenses for living the high life in dirt-poor countries. Indeed, he was a type well known in the Labour movement. Prolier than thou, and ostentatiously…
