@oldandrewuk@richardtutt Scandalous that because parents don't like how their complaints are handled, presumably because it doesn't go their way, can limit a school's L&M judgement when the schools achieves exceptional for the things they change kids' lives.
@BarryNSmith79@tombennett71 Best thing you can do:
Sorry Mr and Mrs X your child doesn't like being told no. Our job is to teach them to accept it. Best thing you can do is stop negotiating with them and say "no". Thanks for coming to this meeting
@BarryNSmith79@tombennett71 HT can't be in every classroom all of the time. Even if they're a HT who is always around the school. Systems and processes are the key. Collective responsibility for implementation. HT and SLT ruthless about consistency
@SamStrickers181 I listen only to those who meet the following tests:
1. Have been a Head at least as long as I have.
2. Have achieved outcomes in the same context at least as good as mine.
3. Don't charge me for their insight.
@SimBadd18 What's the market rate for a CEO who is the accounting officer for an organisation with turnover of tens of millions?
Might surprise people to know that actually, on that metric, some of these people might be underpaid.
Be offended by that if you want but it's a fact.
@TheSaintCentre Only if you want to win every game by 1-0 and then have an embarrassingly pathetic crack at the Premier League and get smashed every week.
Ironically, I’d back Eckert every day against this cardi wearing faux-Mourinho.
@AndyBurnhamGM@BurnsideWasTosh Homeless people everywhere, Andy. It’s the success we have for our most vulnerable that matters, not how many cranes are in the sky erecting apartments for the up and coming who had wealth behind them when they were kids.
@tombennett71 The irony that those advocating for children would agitate for more violence, more sexual harassment, more long term disruption in schools, is just palpable.
@tombennett71 So basically a HTs powers to exclude vanish because essentially a lay person chairing a panel can order reinstatement.
Good luck recruiting HTs then
