@ReidSandra73 @Miss_Snuffy Oh I see. Apologies.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@ReidSandra73 @Miss_Snuffy You think I disagree with "We’re lacking discipline, and too many parents are having to accept seriously underperforming schools"?

I don't disagree with that at all.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@Miss_Snuffy That's also why I think people should understand that if they reject some things they are (probably) rejecting better outcomes.

Which is a stark and useful way to put it. It is a choice.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@Miss_Snuffy I know that there is a correlation between some of the things that I think are too much (remember 'mad' is a shorthand - perhaps too pejorative) and the results.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@Miss_Snuffy I can't argue with the outcomes year on year on year though, obviously. Nor the example.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@Miss_Snuffy "He disagreed" is understating it quite a bit.
I think it's fair to say that politically and in some of what you say re: schools I still think you are way out there and would describe some of what you say as 'mad' as shorthand for "that goes too far for me" to put it mildly.

@BarryNSmith79 @Miss_Snuffy "Give me the knowledge organisers"

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@adamboxer1 Sake.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@adamboxer1 So I'm not a gamer any more but I sometimes play spiderman with the kids. And it takes me a while to remember the controls tbh.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@adamboxer1 I think it was a call of duty game but I might have forgotten.

@wids_widdows @oldandrewuk @Miss_Snuffy In short summary, each of which could be an essay:

Mossbourne showed me that poor kids can behave very well.
Dixons taught me that humility and purpose really matter.
Michaela taught me 'no nonsense' and that leaders must resist the fashionable.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@wids_widdows @oldandrewuk @Miss_Snuffy It is true, though, that in the schools that we have had success, almost nothing is new or 'ours'. We have copied from so many.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@FPL_TomHadley I hadn't even considered that. I'm struggling with Ndiaye away v Bournemouth against Le Fee at home v Fulham.
If I could play 8 attackers I would.

[Stuart Lock @StuartLock]

@FPL__Raptor @FPL_TomHadley Home to Ipswich v away to Leeds though.
