The Secret School Governor

Only secret if you don't know me. Then rather obvious, of course.

Trying to make sense of education policy & practice as a cog in the unoiled system....

@schoolsontap So well over half of the transport budget is spent on non SEND related transport costs, but you choose to capture the report in a way that implies it's all SEND issue, rather than over 14 years of chronic underfunding of LA's.....

The thing is, human rights are universal not partial, a seamless garment. Deny the humanity of others and someone will soon deny yours too.

‘Fighting every step is so hard'

Katie, 17, is autistic and has barely been to school since she was 13.

She joined @BBCNuala to discuss her experience as a child navigating England’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system, and how it has impacted her.

@MichaelRosenYes Jesus H Christ!

My father used to explain to me that the addition of the H meant that its use wasn't blasphemous when used to express annoyance 🤣

Putting aside any debate about causes there are three big public policy failures that have made it harder to manage these riots:

1. Stopping processing asylum seekers - leaving more in hotels and vulnerable to attack.

2. Cutting police numbers (still below 2010)

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Thanks to @lawsocgazette for highlighting the risk to children & young people's legal rights to special educational provision & support that meets their needs. The system fails too many children, but the answer isn't to take away their rights. https://t.co/QFAVWIytVG

A look at Little Wandle and “not-for-profit” statement.

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Down and out. The contempt he showed us finally repaid. Wonderful result.

[The Secret School Governor @GovernorSecret]

@C_Fitz_ IDS won his seat

[The Secret School Governor @GovernorSecret]

@lizziedearden Doesn't that suggest a higher than average attendance of people questioning that..... i.e. conspiracy based reform types?

[The Secret School Governor @GovernorSecret]

The only upside to the horror, harm, and corruption of the last 14 years is that it proves satire is the main coping mechanism of the British 🥴😬🥴🤣⬇️⬇️⬇️

The spacetime continuum has just gifted me this documentary newsreel from 2034 which asks

THE TORIES - WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024

🚨We just dropped in on Farage’s election rally with a beaming picture of Putin. Nigel was not pleased.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

When voting in 5 days, please remember that under the Tories:

Don’t get old.
Don’t get sick.
Don’t get disabled.
Don’t get unemployed.
Don’t get zero hours contracted.
Don’t get poor.
Don’t get unlucky.
Don’t get vulnerable.
Don’t get ideas above your station.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

Just look at how the rate of increase in life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.

"They're a bunch of lunatics, aren't they?"

"That's what Reform are realistically, the BNP reborn."

Brits react to some of the insane things Reform candidates have said.
