Love Learning

Let’s give kids the best possible start to life with high quality education for all.

@karenvaites Throw the Chromebooks in the trash.

When middle-class children fail through discovery learning, their parents hire tutors who teach them explicitly. Working-class children just fail.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

This should be how we begin our conversations about school behaviour. It's not the entirety of the subject, but it's where we begin.

Support, consequences, responses, third spaces, incentives, disincentives etc all need to be framed within this idea: *children deserve a safe, calm space where they can learn in dignity*.

This is the Prime Directive of public education.

Wow. I thought this was parody at first. But it’s real.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

The kid who throws a chair gets a meeting, a plan, and a reintegration.

The kids whose entire education is disrupted day by day?

No plan, no apology, no protection.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@Principal_Jon Easy. A. B has nothing to do with school. I don’t want your influence over my kids. Teach them content. I’ll teach them values.

@JackieBhand @lasralaplante @teacherinRI @JamesAFurey Who’s going to be there when the chips are down? Late at night? In the holidays? Think it through - you’re starting and supporting something you aren’t willing to get amongst later. And you shouldn’t - that’s what parents are for…

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@Dale_Chu @Moms4FAPE @rickhess99 @LawLiberty @AEIeducation Absolutely. Before school closures I sent my kids all the time. Then teachers insisted missing school didn’t matter, that they would ‘catch them up’. And, my kids did better out of school. So, now I’m not fussed about missed school. They’re safer at home anyway.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@larissaphillip Schools can be so brutal, and they can learn so little. I’m not surprised that this option is being taken up.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@traumasch_kenya @KSTeacher1 This is why I withdraw my kids from all wellbeing classes. This is terrifying.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@redpilledtchr @the_lasso_way @educator4ever36 No, it doesn’t. They will protect abusive kids at the expense of staff and other kid’s safety. If this is your kid’s reality they have to move schools before they (inevitably) get hurt.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@tombennett71 What if they are privileged kids who just felt like being mean? https://t.co/3jVZzv6ddR

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

Amazing. Every single time, every single school, protects the aggressors. Police told not required. And the injured / bullied student leaves.

@oldandrewuk @BarryNSmith79 And then they’re mad when we take our well behaved kids who have been assaulted out of the system.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@profprofMFL @greg_ashman But not for an hour a week. That’s just demoralising. Teach it with the aim of kids actually learning to communicate.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@jppav_teacher @greg_ashman But teach it! Don’t just have sing along to pop songs. Kids can do and enjoy so much more than they get credit for.

[anika✨🕊️ @todallyanika]

@educator4ever36 don’t worry, plenty of districts are ensuring smart and talented students don’t have options or enrichment either.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@AmandaDawson @tombennett71 Cute story, but we need a system that’s fit for purpose without “hero” teachers. This kind of exceptionalism narrative means we can’t have nice things.

[MommyDearest @xoMommyDearest]

@JamesAFurey It's important to also note that schools typically HATE involved parents.

[Love Learning @LoveLearning16]

@MikeDFreedom @JamesAFurey Lucky you! Now, what do you suggest everyone else’s non-genius kids do? And, if school isn’t going to teach them, why should I send them, just to learn how to fight and swear?
