@BenLovett10 I’m guessing they were French Foreign Legion. Probably WW2 Wehrmacht veterans out of work post-war who joined up.

@RevivalMethod When they say “fit what?”
You say “You’ll see”…
You can then either walk away calmly, or quickly change the subject to something else.

@RevivalMethod Then say “Yeah you’ll fit”….

@Strickomaster We held our open evening last night, we held live lessons for every subject. Parents were led around on tours, could walk into all of the lessons, and see how we actually teach, daily review, key vocab, teach, mini whiteboards, turn and talk. Felt much more informative.

@MrRobHistory @RogersHistory Then apply it consistently. It’s been transformational for our school. Heavily deprived area, inadequate rating in 2018, got a good earlier this year.

@MrRobHistory @RogersHistory Applied the same approach to defiance from students, uniform, classroom behaviour, noise on corridors. Explain in assembly what changes we are making and why, inform the parents, give them plenty of notice, remind students in the interim…

@MrRobHistory @RogersHistory After the first day, they realised it wasn’t going away. Went from having several students late per lesson, to less than a handful over a week. Communicate a reasonable policy and rationale, with plenty of notice, and stick to it.

[Historia Magistra -Vulpes @HistoriaVulpes]

@MrRobHistory @RogersHistory Our reflection room. We gave the students 2 weeks notice, told every student that arrived late in those two week that they would have this consequence when it starts. When it started, students didn’t think we would follow through….
