PE teacher in Aberdeenshire. Love spending time with my family, playing sports and getting out on the bike. All views are my own.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Another workplace where people can’t work, another school where learning can’t happen, because of rampant defiance, abuse and violence. Heartbreaking to read, and almost impossible to endure. My sympathies with the staff and students who have to cope.
Unless we get serious about responding to these levels of disruption- including sanctions, suspensions and exclusions, then no amount of ‘positive behaviour training’ will be enough. The Scottish government has to wake up to the behaviour crisis that is harrowing the opportunities of generations of children. Until it is acknowledged, and the current behaviour model for schools is rebuilt, nothing will change.

School assembly alert (I guess this would be almost an expectation for them where is in most countries in 'The West', it's become almost oppresive to expect children to clean up after themselves or have consequences for chucking rubbish around) https://t.co/TSwH6xUlua

@coach_kevin_m Huge respect for the honesty in the reflections.

[Beyond the Physical @_beyondphysical]

‘The non-sports specific units help to ensure that all pupils are engaged, valued and motivated in PE. Removal of labelling and early sports specialism is evidenced to increase engagement in PE, physical activity and school sport.’

Schools spend hours trying to “reach” the kid who openly doesn’t care, while the kid who tries every day quietly gets ignored. We’re exhausting ourselves chasing resistance instead of investing in effort.

🗣️ PE isn’t just sometimes important - it’s always important.

That’s why we must ensure pupils have access to at least two hours of high-quality PE every week.

Schools exist to support families, not replace parents.

That means parents need to actually parent, and the govt & communities need to stop treating schools as the fix for bad parenting.

If you’re an educator who thinks otherwise, you’ve watched too many teacher hero movies.
