There seems to have been a shift over the last 5-10 years to much more external control over behaviour in secondary, based on 'zero tolerance' type approaches pushed by high profile educators. So we have a split between a self-regulation/agency focus in primary and a control focus in secondary. 2/3

"The two child limit pulls 109 kids into poverty every single day, so unless that policy goes child poverty is going to be higher at the end of this parliament than at the start" Sara Ogilvie from the Child Poverty Action Group #GMB

Every. Single. Day. News reports of multiple Palestinians shot dead at food "aid" distribution points. Not only is food weaponised, civilians aren't even safe seeking out what little food they're allowed. Our psychological bodies say *nothing*. Shameful www.ohchr.org/en/press-bri...

Gaza: Palestinians seeking food continue to be killed by Israeli military

Desperate, hungry people in Gaza continue to face the inhumane choice of either starving to death or risk being killed while trying to get food.

I think this is such a major driver of AI use in university assessments. And also just a real… disconnection between why we think students are here (to learn about history!) and why students think they are here (to get good grades, to get a job)

When you're working 3 jobs while going to school full time and just barely making enough to feed yourself, ChatGPT offers an appealing way to make life a little bit easier without feeling like you're REALLY doing something wrong I'm increasingly getting a double bell curve in my classes

This is so frustrating for so many reasons... but especially absolute, barefaced cheek of adults asking children if they like school, being told "no", and concluding that actually school is fine, it's the kids who are disengaged (and who need special attention)

One in four pupils in England ‘disengage’ when they move to secondary, report finds

New study found a drop in enjoyment, trust and feelings of safety after year 7 and a largely positive primary experience

We must stay true to our values. If a generally free society loses its moral courage, then what is left. Thank you for continuing to remind us @noushaep.bsky.social “We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” #EdPsychs

I am an Educational Psychologist. We work with children and YP. I am finding it completely incomprehensible that there are children being blown up, killed and imprisoned & our profession is silent. You can’t take a neutral stance on this. #edpsychs

These findings validate the presence of effective communicative skills in autistic people, even if they do not necessarily adhere to non-autistic social norms. This was consistent across different samples and sites.

Today I was thinking about Steve Richards and him saying politicians need to be teachers- the government should be making the case about doing the right thing and moving public opinion towards justice and not tracking populism

Good to see Clive Lewis keeping this issue alive from within his own party. Just one of many areas where Labour should be much bolder for the public and planet. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fixing England’s water isn’t just the right thing to do – it can be the start of Labour’s fightback | Clive Lewis

There is an appetite in this country for policy that will change lives. What is more fundamental than the water we use and bills we pay, asks Labour MP Clive Lewis
