Frankly, it’s amazing that schools work at all.

Every day, hundreds of pupils arrive and a vast web of teaching, care, safeguarding, meals, SEND support and logistics somehow holds together.

@Ofstednews Oliver says Ofsted will 'back' schools 'in upholding high standards of behaviour...backing head teachers to enforce rules and routines, because it is neither inclusive nor acceptable to acquiesce to the unacceptable behaviour of one pupil at the expense of the other children'

This is such an important consideration when thinking about how learning happens.
It's not about being a luddite or a technophobe or being wedded to the past, or not embracing change; it's about recognising that handwriting has a markedly different impact on the brain.

Actually the strongest link between school and prison according to the data is not exclusion.
It’s illiteracy.
So synthetic phonics, explicit vocabulary instruction and guided reading might be a better intervention line…

I think this maps onto schools, classrooms too. Often the disruptive behaviour is a sign to everyone else: ‘what are you going to do about it?’ If nobody does anything (worse, if the teacher doesn’t) then the disruptor gets a status boost. ‘No one f*cks with me.’ This is, of course, terrifying for other students in the room, who want to avoid the penalty of being the one who calls them out. So, most decline. Which is why it is crucial the adult in the room occupies the role of law giver and adjudicator, not just advocate or counsellor.
