@Mr_Raichura This is horrendous. Undermines maths -- yet again--- and undermines the technical subjects!!!!!! undervalues education, which is already rock bottom. Jesus Christ -- they should be ashamed!!!!
@Headteacherchat hear hear. so much hate for SLT-- it's unecessary!! we are at our limit and shouldering a lot from our teachers--which we also are teachers at the end the day!!!
@MathsLyndsey however, he has not worded it correctly and it's the wrong question to ask you to defend edexcel! you can't for them! but it should lead into how have you implemented it!?
@MathsLyndsey I have to agree with Ofsted for probing. When I've seen a 'off the shelve' scheme -- the teachers just follow it and the thought to why now is lost. It can seem a tick box...It also limits why's you have adapted to the pupils in your setting.
@Meg_Mitchie@DeputyGrocott We've took this further and when passing you tie it round the wrist. cut the wool and they are left with a friendship band for the transition days too
@RogersHistory As a member of SLT, I would handle this slightly differently. However, you tend to end up with the worst behaved pupils in one room together, with often no context and they are usually not in the best of moods. Managing that with no work is hard!
@Edmund_B_W@FloraSCooper This was appalling. The figures for those seriously sick or had to quit due to Ofsted would also be alarming figures. Completely unsupportive and counterproductive. Personal experience of a flawed inspection has significantly impacted pupils. It's unfair!
@PaulEmbery Can we bare in mind that the teacher probably just wants to teach history/english etc. And that their motives were probably to teach kindness or the area of a triangle? Schools can not fix EVERY political/societal debates - without a hell of alot of training. Which won't happen.
@FloraSCooper That the education system and all in it are running without respect. Respect from society, teachers, press, government, local authorities, parents and at times are own kind!! We are demonised for trying to educate and care.... That's it. No motives. No robbery. Just care.
A few people have asked what my letter said that I sent to Amanda Spielman and Gillian Keegan at the DFE. It wasn't anything too special, but I do wonder if I will get any response.
Here it is -sorry, I just took an actual photo of the letter.
