@Miss_Snuffy Ps. It's not a rhetorical question. I don't have an opinion on this because I don't know the whole story. Genuinely interested to what other options the staff could have considered that would actually improve their situation.
@Miss_Snuffy If you were a staff member facing
"The main reasons for the teachers' strike are planned redundancies, the downgrading of posts, cuts to pay and conditions, and excessive workload caused by restructuring."
What would you do?
@AdrianBethune@hb_history@anniedor49 No way, my brain completely filtered that image like it was an ad 🤣🤣. I'll come back to it; I'm sure it'll be insightful 👍🏽
Here is my 2p.
-Students who need the most support tend not to show up to optional sessions.
-The days in the run up to the exams make all the difference. The revision on the day before the exam is the most important.
It has to be this way. Any other way would be pointless.
🚨 A letter to Year 11 families at Michaela Community School states that children who do not attend weekend and holiday revision sessions will “spend time in Referral”
They must also attend in full school uniform
@AdrianBethune@hb_history@anniedor49 Grades (options in life) + happiness and contentment make people very satisfied with life.
Not having any options make people feel imprisoned in their lives.
Imagine being able to pick from any career you want!
@hb_history Those who need the most support tend not to attend. That is the reason for the wording in the letter.
If parents don't want their children to attend they would request schools for their child to not do the Saturdays.
But the students need to know that they have to attend.
@Miss_Snuffy Interesting and I agree with your sentiment.
I also see that those who can afford extra tuition throughout their lives are the ones who perform better in admission processes, have more cultural capital and better oracy.
How do we tackle this, or do we not?
@kerryleicester@PhilMellen@adamboxer1 I don't think it's unreasonable to say that a minority of people can have a learning difficulty. I.e. no evidence exists because sample is small.
If a student isn't learning effectively, we should question why and try to get them on track. The alternative is ableism?
@adamboxer1 Also, I think teachers struggle to know what they actually do consistently, without actually being observed.
They might feel like they do it, and might intend to do it, but it doesn't mean they actually do it.
