The whole narrative around 'schools need to work harder to sort school attendance out' ... 'old fashioned graft' etc....
From my experience:
1. Schools are already going above and beyond daily on attendance doing more than they have ever done
2. Same commentators never mention parental and student responsibility - teachers can't literally travel to school with each student every day 1-1 ... but we are seemingly moving in that direction.

✅ Smart Dashboards
✅ Absence Watch Alerts
✅ Personalised Parent Communication.

Better maternity pay so working mamas can stay off with their babies. Less children in nurseries ect more space for others. Allow working mum to be mums ❤️

Just a first chat but hopefully will get some traction on all these in time.
I stand with this man, I feel for this man. He’s done everything he could possibly do. He is one of the bravest ppl I have witnessed in the public sphere in my life time. He should never be disrespected by anyone like this - it’s utterly awful.
Miss you actually care, don't you?
Yes... yes, I do.

Making students feel like they are wanted and are apart of something goes along way.
@garethkthomas Teachers struggle with this as when behaviour rises the FIRST thing we are asked is...
Right we need to figure out if it's this subject or a whole school issue 🫠
Maybe... just maybe it's not subjects issue is something else that needs addressing...
@garethkthomas I'm a teacher myself, but I've also been a parent whos battled a primary school who deemed my daughter as 'naughty' when we escaped DV.
Keep talking, keep standing up foe our children and make your voice heard. It's definitely one the world should be listening too! ❤️
