1: Behaviour is the biggest whole-school improvement driver there is. It is absolutely key to changing a school’ culture. It is the culture. Everything stems from it. You can talk curriculum, teaching etc all you like but if the kids don’t behave you’re whistling in the wind.
“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science.” - Carl Sagan
“When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me-it still sometimes happens-and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him…
I think the men who get up every day and go to a job they hate without grumbling, to do work they despise without quitting - to provide for their families without wavering - are the unsung heroes we don’t talk enough about.
Education more generally is drowning as the (positive) urge toward empathy and care has no internal limiting mechanism beyond resource, which is a weak control, thus placing increasingly impossible demands on the sector and making schools prey to Everythingism
Until we tackle validity of the SEND industry we’re doomed. Not just the Ed sector. Society. We’ve glamourised victimhood. We’ve validated self diagnosis. We need to seriously question reliability of psychiatry industry.

Today the Observer has published an extraordinary piece, which I think they view as a romantic case for assisted dying, but which is, in fact, a textbook case of how doctors subvert the rules to help patients without any terminal illness whatsoever to die by suicide. It could…

Aggressively dominant male mammals typically urinate to scent-mark their territory. “I’ll piss where I like." "I❤️pissin' on TERFs." They think they’re women. But can you imagine a better walking, talking, reeking advertisement for toxic masculinity? #SexMatters
World’s worst advice klaxon. If you let a kid opt out, they learn that you’re ok with them opting out. You’ll never guess what that does to their habit of opting out. Low effort/ opting out *is* misbehaviour, because it’s behaviour that inhibits their success. Our job is to…
A student misbehaves and doesn't do any work SLT suggests letting them put their head down in class because "you never know what they might be learning that way." You think that's rubbish advice. What do you do next? x.com/adamboxer1/sta…
There was a case in the 00s where a boy was not excluded for a sexual assault, then raped a teacher. In recent days, we've heard of the case of a child in Wales who was not excluded for carrying a knife, and stabbed three people in her school. One of the children who murdered…
The more schools I see the more I become convinced that implementing detentions should almost always be a whole school system, rather than something left up to individual classroom teachers to issue, communicate and hold, especially where it comes to follow up for non-attendance.…
Any attempt to roll back on the good work done to support schools in managing behaviour will disproportionally impact schools serving disadvantaged communities. We will end up with more chaotic and dysfunctional schools, with staff leaving the profession or finding jobs in…
Many on #edutwitter should be lining up to apologise to Shivan today. They won't be, of course.

The Other Christmas Truce
“It is Holy Night and there will be no shooting.” The soldiers agreed.
Me in today’s @thetimes The refusal to confront disruption (at a national scale) in Scottish schools is leading to escalating levels of violence and chaotic classrooms. Teachers and children deserve better. thetimes.co.uk/article/keepin…
@tombennett71 the man up the mast has more epistemic authority than the admiral because he knows what's going on. Maybe education could learn from this naval analysis & ask classroom teachers about the state of behaviour, not the admirals.
