Ask yourselves, the people who relentlessly criticise me, have they done half as much as we do for social mobility?

What difference do they make for kids?

Should you listen to them, OR maybe consider what I say, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable?

I don't think this is accurate.
1. Poverty is a big correlative factor, absolutely.
2. Black and Asian exclusion rates are below white majority rates. This suggests that ethnicity is not a major factor in exclusions- poverty is.
3. Excluded students don't 'suffer' from exclusions, they behave in a way that requires the consequences of exclusion, in order to keep others safe and schools calm. The ones who suffer are the children and staff affected by the violence, disruption, threat and harassment of those excluded.

All children require support and love, including those excluded. But this doesn't mean that we prioritise the needs of those excluded over those who aren't.

@CalvinBailey @annelongfield I respect a lot of your work, but your naivety about the education sector is glaringly obvious and, frankly, it is shocking that you are influencing govt policy on this matter.

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer I’m sorry, but you would be UTTERLY insane to bring in these policies - they would be to the detriment of the vast majority of pupils and staff. Please try teaching in a challenging school for a single full day before you ruin education nationwide.

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@CalvinBailey please expect to hear from me about these ludicrous policies. I promise you, they will only hinder education & worsen the already shocking teacher recruitment/retention crisis!

@tombennett71 When @AnneLongfield and @tombennett71 discussed exclusion on TV, the majority of teachers agreed, and sill agree, with Tom.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

We should be shocked by the behaviour that many students and staff are expected to endure in their everyday lives in school. Children need and are entitled to a place that is safe, calm and dignified free from disruption and harassment.

Excluded children still deserve a full time education option. Councils are obliged to place all excluded students in AP. No excluded child is outside that system.

Which is why we need more investment in high quality post-exclusion destinations PRUs, AP etc. We also need more investment in in-school specialist units where children with chaotic behaviours can be supported to re-integrate, without threatening the well-being of others.

'Inclusion' must be understood properly- it can't just mean 'keep them in the classroom,' or everyone suffers. Sometimes, the best inclusion work is done *external* to the classroom.

@askryanair Hi, I logged into my Ryanair account via FB & you have pulled my name from my FB profile. This is NOT the name on my passport (I use a diff name on FB due to being a teacher).

When I try to update my name on your website, it says ‘an error has occurred’

Pls advise?

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@MoneyBones2 @moving_charlie Did you bother to read the article? Tarek lives in Australia so your suggestion that he buy in Huddersfield is ridiculously off mark.

@PetsatHome is there a telephone number I can ring for customer service? I need to discuss my online order which has not arrived (the tracking portal says my delivery is expected to arrive last Thursday!)

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@pcrich @PetsatHome I’ve had the exact same experience! Made an order a week ago, was told it would be delivered on Thursday. It’s now Saturday and my order tracking shows 0 movement (but the estimated delivery date is day before yesterday). Awful service, wish I had gone to Amazon!

Nice task, if you haven't seen it before.

The area of the red square is 12. What’s the total yellow area?

@AirbnbHelp @AirbnbHelp I’ve contacted you to let you know that I am locked out of my account…and you have responded by sending my Airbnb account a support message which I cannot access.

Does that make any sense to you? Please reach out to me via my email address or phone.

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@AirbnbHelp hi, I am unable to log into my Airbnb account or reset my password. All attempts to reset my pw are met with this error message (“let’s try that again - something went wrong”).

I need to log in to respond to a message from my host. Please can you support?

[Ms G @IsabellaDG1]

@AirbnbHelp Thanks for the quick response - I’ve just dm’ed you.
