@choudrey_s To vocalise it. There is a high chance that others may also feel this way. But, even if they don’t leaders should reflect to see if any changes need to be made. They might not need to and sometimes being uncomfortable is a part of life but it may need to be looked at and changed
@choudrey_s I think your point has been entirely missed here by a lot of people? I don’t think you’re saying if a child feels uncomfortable then all rules should be changed. But, leaders should reflect on why that one child feels (vocally) uncomfortable. If one child is uncomfortable enough
@kash645 Exactly this, there has to be some balance and understanding from above. This includes accountability for teachers too, I just don’t understand how schools have come to this. It’s just a shame, which feels really silly to today but it really is

Teachers are leaving in their droves and it’s really not hard to see why. It is so sad when there are incredible teachers who put their all in reduced to following these rules or to leave.

At a time where homeschooling is getting so popular because parents are unhappy that their children are being moulded into replicas we should be listening to reasons why and understanding that education needs to change. The current change is most certainly not for the better.
What middle leader can afford to take such a pay cut to take this job? Meaning that experienced teachers who would be good at this won’t apply.
A great way to support the most vulnerable children who need the experience to support them

Great to see the value of experienced teachers being rewarded by Tameside council.
