@LukeJahn_ yeah, next lie pal. I've never taught that

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@FFulbright @MrColesDrama @TheWellsAcademy @NAveyard This comment is simply rude and disrespectful

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@Swampyjo @jdurran Completely agree 👍

Teachers who have used booklets and reverted back to PowerPoint based lessons. What has been your experiences with this? What advice might you be able to give? #teacher #pedagogy #historyteacher #booklet

@garethkthomas @EachOtherUK Whilst I respect your commitment to this cause, I have to ask more to understand whether we can align our views. Firstly, are you suggesting that schools are wrong to exclude in any circumstances at all?

The most hard-hitting 2 sentences in all of talent development research:

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

A hugely important question to ask in evaluating teaching quality is 'how many students could sit through this lesson and still learn nothing of what's being taught?' In this lesson the answer is almost certainly none.

@colotbc @itvcorrie So??

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@ballater6 @Bonniepurple Was the candidate a sports teacher? If not, I feel that the expectation to dress more professionally is justified

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@TTRadioOfficial I think that some really good points are made here. I've recently taken to not using PowerPoints and I think it can be much more engaging than assumed. I found it was so useful in getting me to really consider my responsive teaching

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@SqueakinglyJen @oldandrewuk This is a ridiculous argument. If a child brings a knife into school, they should be permanently excluded. No exceptions. What about the safety or staff and other pupils?

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@tir3dteacher @JaneCas65 @sage_stage Absolutely agree! This lack of accountability is a serious concern in education

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@UnusuallyBased @Miss_Snuffy You're talking absolute rubbish

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

Stupid fucker ruined my engagement today. Nationalistic assholes

Are you watching @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer @SadiqKhan This is on you. This is what you have caused people to do because you betrayed us. Shame on you all. You have all betrayed the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@CalderwoodAngus @TTRadioOfficial Interesting. I would suggest no. The individuals will still know who they are and I would worry that it would disincentive those at the bottom and encourage those at the top to become complacent. Interested to hear opposing views to my own though

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@BRenouf_History @_Ms_J Hi, we are in the process of developing work booklets too but I'm a bit lost with the whole process. Would you be willing to share these? Happy to send resources in return of course

[Andrew Old @oldandrewuk]

In case you missed it, here's what @bphillipsonMP said on LBC regarding @ObserverUK's story about phasing out school discipline and sacking @tombennett71.

Nick Ferrari: Can you clarify a story that was in The Observer yesterday suggesting that frequent suspensions, isolation booths and strict behaviour regimes could be phased out in England after work done by - I understand - someone who's assisting you in an organisation called Centre for Young Lives? Is that the plan of the Labour government?

Bridget Phillipson: No, I'm afraid there was some inaccuracy around that. What I can say to your listeners is that a Labour government expects high standards where it comes to behaviour within our schools. We know that in order for children to learn they have to be in calm, orderly environments where they get the support that they need from our teachers and school leaders and I back school leaders and the tough choices that they sometimes have to make. It should, of course, be a last resort. I know it is a last resort and it's the last thing that school leaders want to be doing in terms of excluding young people. And parents have got responsibilities as part of that process. I also think government's got responsibilities too and that's why the plans that we're setting out where it comes to, for example, more mental health support in our schools, the need to reform our system for support with children with special education needs.

Nick Ferrari: So, children – unruly children - will still be suspended, Secretary of State? Just to clarify that.

Bridget Phillipson: Of course. School leaders should retain that important step. It's not something they do lightly because they know the consequences. But there are consequences of not acting. I completely understand the disruption that can be caused to the wider school community.

Nick Ferrari: Is it true that the government's behaviour tsar, who, obviously, you inherited from the Conservatives, Tom Bennett will be leaving his post, as also reported yesterday? Is that true?

Bridget Phillipson: I genuinely have no idea where that report has come from because, no, that is not the case.

[Sam456 @Sam45616412254]

@PhilBeadle Except they are absolutely right. I don't think this was anti-semitic but it was an incredibly stupid thing to say. You've taken no ownership of your comments. Your arrogance has reached a whole new level
