- Reposted by EmmyI saw today a student-facing behaviour policy that lists as one of its reasons for immediate removal from class “Public refusal to follow rules” and I think this is rather good - that it encapsulates (far better than “low level disruption”) the main reason for sanctions in schools🧵#UkEd #EduSky

- As always, the elephant in the room is the parents. If they go home and retreat to social media, that’s the problem of the people at home. And so much of behaviour is a result of the people in their lives from the day they’re born, not the teachers they see at school 8.30-3.30 in term time.

- Day 1: Holocaust Memorial Assembly by me first thing. 3 other potential lessons to be hit. Morning, break, lunch time and after school duty. No pressure 🤣
- Reposted by EmmyThe UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
- Reposted by EmmyICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

- Reposted by EmmyThese so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.
- One of the reasons why Key Stage 3 can be ambitious is because students are capable of a lot more than you think. I’ve long argued that we shouldn’t be wasting time in history teaching going over “history skills” because they’ve been studying history for 6 years already.
