Yup. Don’t give your kids devices. No smartphone. No ipad. Love your kids. 🙏

All schools should enact phone bans. The data is in: they ruin education and make your kids depressed and anxious. Parents, you can make this easier: don’t feed the addiction all summer. If your kid is young, they shouldn’t have a phone. If they do, place real limits. This issue truly begins at home.

Sometimes we need reminders like this- we cannot be 100% everyday- Yes we can try -but we shouldn’t beat ourselves up on those days we don’t quite manage it-💙

Here’s an after school revision session on thesis statements that I’ve been using. This is the first in an ‘essay series’, designed to really break down the components of a written response to help students master each part. Worked quite well! More to come soon. Use/chuck/change

ADHD is not a disorder. It’s a difference in cognition. You need to harness it, not sedate with pills. Once you do, it will make you hyper-focus. Here’s what you can do to turn ADHD into a superpower: 🧵

I’d really struggle to work in a school that has a C1, C2, C3 behaviour policy these days. You shouldn’t need to put up with disruption x3 times before that pupil is removed from the lesson.

@tes @bphillipsonMP Amazing news! Hopefully, parents will be able to continue to work as teachers without having to compromise bring there for their own children.

Mothers unite against smartphones!🥰 So wonderful to see families demanding that government do something about the harm being inflicted on children by smartphones! We ban so many things from kids. Add smartphones to the list. ✊🏾 thesun.co.uk/news/28677309/…

I used to run a removal room where students were sent for disruption etc. 90% of the time I would ask the student what happened, and the response was, ‘That teacher just hates me/ I was just asking a question/ I got sent out for laughing’ etc. Then on investigation what really happened was they told the teacher to f*** off/ they smacked another kid in the head/ they were texting someone. That was so common it became normal. Why? Because in order to displace responsibility, a huge number of people, students will make stuff up. It’s so obvious that it feels odd to even have to say that. That doesn’t mean that ‘all kids do’ but it does mean that we don’t just take their word for it as a default, wide-eyed and uncritical. I’ve worked with kids who put in windows and punched each other on camera, who denied it to their parents, who then rang in angry, saying, ‘He wouldn’t lie to me!’ None of which means we default to ‘not believing’ either. Safeguarding means we treat allegations seriously. But when you work with large populations of students who muck around, you learn to make professional assessments of truth claims.

@tombennett71 @JamesTheo @LiamThorpECHO The capacity of "journalists" to report claims like this is incredible: "My son got a 60-minute detention because he did not have the right ruler." "My son got suspended for not having a green pen in his pencil case." Did they even look at the school's behaviour policy?

What will Labour do on academies? A 🧵 An incoming labour government has to decide what to do about the school structures that they will inherit; many schools are now in multi academy trust but more remain in local authorities. 1/
