Kemi Badenoch on #BBCLauraK saying both 9 months is too short to turn her party mess around after 14 years but 9 months is plenty to turn around the mess her country made to the country. Surely she sees the contradiction here? @bbclaurak.bsky.social
More research needs to be be done into unsuccessful applications, moved rolls and EHE from schools with no excuses approaches. I've seen first hand the messaging during the early meeting around a school application, the dissuasion. I've seen moves away that are made to secure support.
Sue Cowley@suecowley.bsky.social · 2y agoIt's very interesting to consider the attitudes to young people that are subconsciously embedded in these approaches and then to consider why YP might be starting to reject the education system especially post lockdowns.
Mapped nearly 1000 Alternative Provisions across the UK so far as part of a project. Thousands more to add I'm sure. Pop the web address of any you know below please and I'll add them on! Share please!
Nigel Farage claiming to believe fully in free speech - I guess he wouldn't be suing anyone for defamation then if they accused him of something he hadn't done then?
Nigel Farage saying that he believes in free speech totally but with limits is a typical right wing device. He believes in free speech he agrees with, that's the limit.
Can tell it's Friday. Today I found myself leaning slightly to the side to see someone who was a bit off camera on Teams, like I could somehow see around the corner of their frame 🤣🤣
Do wonder what edutwitter is making of the sky high suspensions report today. After trying to convince us they weren't increasing, now the increase will be presented as not a problem. It is a problem - it's a sign that support is needed. You can't just dismiss it as "worsening behaviour".
"who here at this protest isnt affected by the thing you are protesting?" Not exactly a great survey there. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

I've played this so many times to my kids that my Spotify algorithm is irretrievably corrupted. open.spotify.com/track/31ywa6...
Went to my granddad's funeral today, experienced an overwhelming sense of grief not felt before. Memories came flooding back. Made me think of those that stuck for me may have been small moments for him, but hugely significant in my mind. We never know which interactions make the biggest difference.
Just to let all the other Dads know, my daughter said I was the strongest Dad in the whole world today. Sorry about that but I thought you all should know.
Deactivated twitter and going all in here! Link me to some good accounts to follow in education plz!
This is my favourite picture in the world right now. She got the kit and my number perfect.
Been watching Monk on Netflix which is trashy in many ways, but also beautiful....and easy watching. I don't normally opt for easy watching with my attention span...😂
There is much to useful theory to use from research on cognitive science in learning, but I feel the gap missed in recent years is not paying enough attention to the readiness and capacity to learn of the the recipient. We don't work with "econs" and differing, complimentary strategies have value.
How much engagement/activity is there on #edusky? Like this if you are here and see this!
Good news but long overdue. Replacing educational titles with business ones is a culture signal about why you exist. Putting them back is a sign of a positive new direction.
Schools Week@schoolsweek.bsky.social · 2y agoExclusive: An academy trust has dispensed with senior job titles like CEO to 'avoid top-down control' – with all bosses all renamed as 'school and college trust leaders' Full story 🔽
The myth of parental choice on schools renders Ofsted judgements of limited use anyway. The truth is, you don't get much choice. You live where you can afford, with those prices being influenced by the surrounding schools. There's also no guarantee you'll get in to a specific school.
