@tombennett71 I am very well jell!

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@ded6ajd I have many niblings. It's handy to have one catch all term for them.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@Mr_Minchin Nah, you're wrong about this one. Bennett is one of the good guys. He wants schools to be safe calm places where children can learn.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@jrsmcintoshNI @PaulGarvey4 @roolincharge It's straw clutching at best. It's like saying any school is selective because they only allow children who live in the catchment area between the ages of 11 & 16.

@Dr_Pam_Jarvis @StuartLock @YorksBylines No it isn't. Keeping things simple is the easiest way. Having exceptions, cop outs and negotiations with twenagers is not going to go well.

Adults need to step up and take care of children.

@UnchainedHt @StuartLock The major benefits of cigarettes and alcohol are people like them. The major benefit of smart phones is, people like them. They do not need them, and when they tell you they do, that is the voice of an addict talking.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@UnchainedHt @StuartLock Not with that attitude. Just because children do stupid things doesn't mean we should just let them. We should at least try to stop them.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@StuartLock I'll join. Where do I sign up?

What are we saying counts as "kids"? I'll open the betting with children under the age of 16 .

@ClarkeZeba @PaulGarvey4 @roolincharge But Michaela doesn't get to pick the students - the council assigns them. Even though there's a waiting list, Michaela gets the students they are given.

@rastokke @C_Hendrick @P_A_Kirschner That is a marvellous book. And the red companion books is great too!

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@anon_opin I'd still choose to drive my kids to school rather than have them face the bus.

Almost everywhere on Earth had slavery for thousands of years and some places still do.

The drive to end slavery on a worldwide basis was spearheaded by Britain in the early 1800’s.

Apparently, Michaela is a selective school because they select by "compliance".
Not any other normal way a selective school selects students. Like common entrance or anything. They check compliance.

How would that even work?

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@PaulGarvey4 @roolincharge Why do people who hate Michaela perpetuate the myth that it is a selective school?

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@edudissenter Make them: successful learners, effective contributers, confident individuals and global citizens.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@PaulGarvey4 @roolincharge So....they are not a selective school then?

[James Theo @JamesTheo]

The post-truth era: where teachers and school leaders who give their lives over to working with children every single day are the ones who don't care enough and the people who sit in offices miles away from the nearest violent or disrupted classroom are the ones who REALLY CARE.

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@PaulGarvey4 @roolincharge What's the selection procedure? Do they do the common entry exam? Or is it the 11 plus?

[Curtainwardobepillows @Curtainwardrobe]

@PaulGarvey4 It's surprising that when these strategies work, and children are safe, happy and well educated, the people arguing against them say "well of course it works, if you care about results - but I care about some other things, not results".

Results are what schools are for.
