[Children's Commissioner for England @ChildrensComm]

Today is #WorldChildrensDay - an opportunity to reflect on the important ideas and contributions children make to society.

Only 1 in 5 told #TheBigAmbition they feel adults in power listen to them. Their voices are powerful - they need to be heard.

@Sue_Cowley ... of both teachers AND learners!

[Phoenix Education @PhoenixEdu_]

Quick answer... no.

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

Former head whose daughter missed school from anxiety "said many [home educating] parents feel the entire education system is broken+is working against them...[his daughter's] anxiety was driven by being at school". Is tough approach to absence working? https://t.co/J84yla2QT0

Such a powerful message from this young person about the problems faces for many in mainstream school...

[BBC Woman's Hour @BBCWomansHour]

‘The education system likes to put children in little boxes and if you don't fit in that box, you get pushed out’

In our special Woman’s Hour episode live from the BBC Radio theatre, 17-year-old Katie shared her experience of navigating the SEND system ⬇️

What an excellent way to represent this issue!

[Sarah Ockwell-Smith @TheBabyExpert]

Attendance Matters!

But so do children…

Perhaps you've seen a similar poster?

Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding.

Loving these reminders that the best place for children isn't always in school! Thanks @edfreeuk

[Educational Freedom @edfreeuk]

As a home educator there are "no back to school" photos for us because our learning is continuous, interweaved into our daily life. #homeeduk

@Terri_White DGAF! New favourite acronym. Thanks for this insight @terri and for the refreshing 'I changed my mind' narrative.

@ian_cushing ... where's the 'sob' emoji when you need it?

[Phoenix Education @PhoenixEdu_]

@teamsquarepeg Hmmm... and no mention of the fact that schools operating as businesses might be more inclined to offroll rather than support? @warwickmansell

[Phoenix Education @PhoenixEdu_]

The easiest dot to dot puzzle ever! The links couldn't be more clear between school policy and school attendance...

[Not Fine in School @NotFineinSchool]

Connect the dots between the SEND crisis and the Attendance crisis - when children do not get the support they need in school they become unable to attend, and then the system blames the family and fines/prosecutes parents (...make it make sense!)

[Phoenix Education @PhoenixEdu_]

@NotFineinSchool @educationgovuk A great resource - thanks for compiling this!

Great message from @bigchange_ on #alevelresultsday2024 - there's more to life than school!

[Big Change @bigchange_]

"Work out what you love to do. Stay curious, take notes, & treat people well"

A beautiful & powerful message from @richardbranson on a day thousands of #students in the UK get their #Alevel results! Good luck to you all but remember that #YourGradesDontDefineYou 💙

Best way to encourage critical thinking...? Bringing democratic principals into the classroom! Children can learn to be active citizens, respecting all members of their community, by practicing those principals in school.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

The best defences of our free and open society are those within us.

Labour will work to make them stronger through encouraging critical thinking across education.
