Maths and more maths.

@SimBadd18 @helenrey I'm not so sure it will be looking at the long term plans for IT in some trusts. Also they can cut the teaching wage bill and people in the classroom are just supervisors of children. It definitely feels like it is going this way.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@SimBadd18 @helenrey It's not going to be just the US though is it? This is being developed (funded by the vast fees of the students) and will then be sold over here. And now with feet in both camps of Steplab and Alpha they will get easy buy in..

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@helenrey Not comparable systems. Scotland has large behaviour issues too. Just like a lot of the North of England who really aren't doing too great either if you compared them to the South East. If we could get Pisa scores for the regions of England, NE probably would match Scotland.

@primarypercival @adamboxer1 Which calls into question everything. Are you really interested in education when you are now championing something that is going to a) be sold to schools to make money b) put education money into the hands of a few tech companies while jeopardising a skilled teacher workforce.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@mr_noke @adamboxer1 Zero flexibility in maths. Can't adapt in the lesson..When adaptation is needed knock on effect of what the next lesson looks like changes. Booklet becomes redundant. Booklets are ok if you made the booklet for your class..

@Cordeli43872191 @adamboxer1 Folders. Just have folders. Colleges manage

@hodgepodge96 @SamStrickers181 They just go to the toilet and spend forever in there on it. But if parents can afford phones for their child they can afford a pouch. Personally they should go in a locker.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@joel120193 Then the money will move from the teachers into the hands of a few tech people. The only kids who will learn will be those who's parent can support and push them and inequalities or wealth will go back to victorian times.

@lucas_haslam If they don't hand a phone in they get wanded

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@StuartLock This has bigger implications. Transfer of money from teachers to a small amount of tech people as skilled teachers are seen as less important. And are we moving back to the mind set that education isn't for all?

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@KitPeacock @HegemonyX9 We are allowed to do searches with permission. If refused to be searched we can get a parent in and do the search. If they refuse that they are suspended. Look up DFE guidance about this.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@StuartLock The money is bankrolling the app development. The app they will then sell to MATs, because they are already trusted with step lab there is a way in. This is rinsing money out of education.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@RogersHistory It's a business model and not about what is best for children. They have already seen how Steplab was adopted now they know they can take the money of MATs in the UK etc

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@RogersHistory Basically the 75k is bankrolling their app making. They'll get good results and then sell their apps for millions without having to pay for their creation. But their results are because they have 10 in a class and selective due to 75k a year.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@GingaGill @warwickmansell Hmm are you saying that things in education often when repeated don't get the same results... amazing....

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@NeilMatthams You worry about the human race when it has been said time after time they can have their phones to and from school.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@TheJohnnyLuu @sciantificnew Statuary guidance means schools don't individually have to have the battle with parents. They have a mandate now to do it. And as a parent and a teacher I agree..

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@adamboxer1 Welcome to the world of maths. There are no grade x topics. Each topic is just made as easy or as difficult as they please each year, and then wonder why we run out of time teaching the spec.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@RogersHistory As did PFI, as do YPO as do Trutex and Asda and Tesco.

[Daisy Jones @DaisyJonesbhua]

@SaulStaniforth What the school really needs to say is if you child brings their £400+ phone to school you can buy a pouch for it for £20. Afford the phone afford the pouch.
