@mradamkohlbeck Hi, I’d love to have a look at this if possible? Can you follow so I can DM. Thanks so much.

[Mr. G @MrAGTeach]

Can 100% guarantee this never happened in a British school. Absolutely bonkers people on the internet making stuff up.

@Haggis_UK Kids, age 9, had to make flags.

Flags representing a sexual preference.

One or two decided to make a “straight” flag.

They were told it wasn’t inclusive.

@_MissieBee There are some battles you’re just destined to lose unfortunately 😂

All I’m seeing here is children repeatedly breaking school rules?

[Naomi Fisher @naomicfisher]

A counsellor who works with anxious children has messaged me. One of her young clients has seven detentions to make up, meaning that they can’t go to the after-school sports that they love. Another is spending their days in isolation, initially because they left class to go to the toilet when the teacher said no, and now because they keep being ‘non-compliant’ with the rules in isolation (meaning, they talk when they aren’t meant to and move around too much).

These children are miserable, and their parents are so worried that they are paying therapists to help them.

Therapy won’t help. It’s not magic. Punitive policies in schools are creating anxiogenic environments. That means an environment which creates anxiety. They are punishing children for being immature, for behaviour which is childish and not malicious.

Everyone is affected by an anxiogenic system, because those who aren’t punished are scared that they will be next. Yes it might result in more compliant behaviour and silent corridors, but what are we doing to the next generation? Is the cost really worth it?

My daughter wears a hearing aid and sometimes she likes to just take it out around the house and play in her own little quiet world and it’s just the sweetest thing 🥺

@tds122 52* off 31 balls chasing 190 total. 75 to win off the last 10 overs. Great feeling.

@TheaOmega I remember wearing a pair of Air Max to an own clothes day and a child was genuinely aghast that I knew what Nike was 😅

Since breaking up on 22nd December I have had 0 work messages from anyone at work. The dread of going back to work simply doesn’t exist and it is 🤌 bliss.

@Resour1Teaching Hi, I’ve been exploring the possibility of introducing booklets to our trust. Would you mind if I DM’d you for a quick chat? Thanks.

[Mr. G @MrAGTeach]

Live scenes of me trying to get *some* work done but simply not being ready to finish being off.

Name me a better feeling than that first glass of wine after breaking up for Christmas 😍

As a staunch republican, it gives me great heartache to announce that I am absolutely obsessed with The Crown. Simply cannot stop watching it.

@MissKhan__ We use a template that we then print using a normal printer onto 14-per-page stickers. Happy to share my template if that helps?
