I have taught every age group from year one to year 13.

I can tell you that the Early Years (and 0 to 3) is where we need to make the greatest investment in education.

For those living with #MastCellActivationSyndrome, some experiences are hard to explain but instantly understood by those who truly get it.
Your experiences matter, and together we can foster greater understanding and support.

Disgusting and demeaning

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

Sheffield Star story about pupil wetting himself after being denied access to the toilet. Am aware of other cases like this. Concerns of parents re humiliation of it, staying with that child, echoed in other cases.Are schools weighing this up,in policies? https://t.co/U8blR06s09

The Education Sector increasingly makes superficial sticking plasters out of lessons and programmes. Empathy by its very nature is an experiential thing- not an academic one. We nurture it in the moment and deepen it with rigorous practices such as ongoing Socratic Dialogue.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Good grief. This is barely evidence for anything; the word 'could' is working harder than a jet engine here. 'Watching some films and talking about them improves behaviour at scale' is not a remotely serious proposition, and substantiating it with subjective self report AND then assuming a causal link is the reach of a century.

[Eckhart Tolle @EckhartTolle]

In this guided meditation, Eckhart helps us understand the power of not being absorbed by our thoughts and how meditation can give us a sense of choice in directing our attention. https://t.co/zl7oVM7lvf

“In England, a defence of ‘reasonable punishment’ exists which means children are not fully protected from physical assault - the NSPCC want the legal loophole abolished.”

Physical assault is never ‘reasonable punishment’.

I'm honored but more than that I'm hopeful🕊️

Every day more parents take charge of their kids' education

The future is bright♥️

[Little Humans Being @LilHumansBeing]

Agreed. But “enjoyable” has to be defined so that there is a consensus on boundaries and limitations- a shared understanding on what is acceptable for all parties. Children need this.

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

I don't think it's wrong to have the expectation that students should really enjoy school.

Learning is meant to be enjoyable.

[Dr. Bob Beare @DrBobBeare]

Parents who have healed their trauma can give emotional space to their kids. It's rare. It's deeply needed. It's the greatest of all parental acts.

[Little Humans Being @LilHumansBeing]

@HippyMomPhD The language arts aren’t introduced early enough or given enough attention in English schools. Learning to read is just the tip of the iceberg.

[Little Humans Being @LilHumansBeing]

@HippyMomPhD Very true. I always think that the tools/ideas/experiences need to be gently introduced before the child shows an interest, in order to spark the curiosity necessary to develop an interest and to catch the brain during those critical windows of brain development.

[Little Humans Being @LilHumansBeing]

This is symptomatic of the low educational attainment many early years practitioners have in the U.K.
This is not a criticism of those people- it’s just a fact. A profession that doesn’t pay well will not attract highly educated people. The irony is that CLL is core to the EYFS.

If this irritates you, we can be friends ;-)

(My kiddo went to this nursery)

Took the girls to a Crystal Bridges Art Museum... They spontaneously started dancing with this sculpture

Great art literally moves you... make sure your children's lives are filled with beautiful things♥️

@juliangrenier I think this goes for many “initiatives” and “approaches” adopted by nurseries and schools. They get watered down from the original visions and practices and are often adopted by people/businesses who want a USP, but lack the integrity and knowledge to implement things properly.

“Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause.”

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
