1. The wording is devious & malicious.

@naomicfisher is well aware that her anecdotal evidence represents <1% of school students but uses the word “system” to present them as wide-spread, institutionalised cruelty.

Pitting teachers & parents against one another.

[Naomi Fisher @naomicfisher]

Why won’t I just stay in my lane, stop talking about our school system and get on with treating mental health problems? Because every day I hear about practices in schools which cause distress - and I’m being asked to resolve the distress as if it, not the practice, is the problem. I’m being asked to be complicit in practices which are damaging to young people’s well-being.

I’m being asked to tell young people that the problem is them, that they’re wrong to feel the way they do and with a bit of therapy they can go back to the unchanged system. I’m being asked to tell them that the system is right and they are wrong.

What practices, you ask? Putting young people into isolation for haircuts, or nose piercings. Instant detentions for minor uniform transgressions. Young people who have struggled into school being greeted with a behaviour point because they were three minutes late, and then another behaviour point for not taking their coat off immediately. Children who have had a very difficult term ending it off with being excluded from the school trip due to poor attendance. I hear these stories from multiple families, all over the UK.

There’s nothing wrong with people who feel distressed and anxious when they are in a system which creates distress and anxiety. Our children aren’t the problem, they are pointing out the problem.

@nsdmorrison And, by suggesting that schools are less tolerant today, it sounds like you are confusing your experience as someone who pontificates about education from their ivory tower with the real experience of teachers who are actually trying to contribute on the ground.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@BarryNSmith79 All misbehaviour in school is the result of unmet needs that have originated from EXTREME trauma. To say other worse is literal genocide.

Is being so lazy and unfit that you get outrun by the referee something that you work on during training @ManUtd?

[The Sun Football ⚽ @TheSunFootball]

How Man Utd's midfield were outran by the referee against Spurs! 😮

Manchester United fans, please listen to Jamie’s breakdown of your team.

[Beth Lindop @beth_lindop]

To be fair, on reflection, Liverpool can just say they have irrefutable evidence they won the game.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

On the plus side for Liverpool, at least they aren't facing relegation as a result of a decade of systematic breaches of Premier League rules

[JBT @UtdJBT]

I’ve got an idea to fix United in the short term

Sack Carrick

Hire him back as an interim

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@paddypower The funny thing is, it will work for 5-6 weeks.

The issue is, and always has been, the players not trying. And they always try after the manager is sacked to “prove” it was all the manager’s fault.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Crazy how Man United have all these world-class players who are definitely good enough to compete for titles, but who've been let down 13 years in a row by having the wrong manager in charge.

What are the chances?

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Man United were 1-0 up at home against the worst team in the league, who only have 10 men on the field...

but every single one of their fans KNEW they were gonna concede that goal

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Man Utd v Spurs is what happens when a stoppable force meets a moveable object.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

If the response to a student throwing a chair is to ask whether the teacher made the lesson engaging enough, I'd like to know how boring a faculty meeting has to get before the same logic applies.

[Zach Groshell @MrZachG]

As @tombennett71 says, students don’t want a tall friend. They want a teacher.

[Katy Louise @Kaytea21]

This is brilliant.

[Joe @J1999Mc]

The rules not to ride a bike during a marathon were brought in by the marathon cartel to prevent competition

"Get lost! How dare you ruin what's part of our country, our DNA in this country."

Ian Holloway had some very strong words when asked about the Man City charges.

[Charlotte Tepes, called sideróglossa 🕯️ @SnepOfTheWest]

Imagine being a straight A+ Hogwarts student and having to REPEAT A YEAR because that fucker Potter is waging an armed guerilla rebellion against Umbridge and screaming wizard Hitler has returned from the grave
