Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.

Labour insiders confirmed to The Telegraph that the scheme to deport migrants who arrived in the UK illegally to Rwanda was effectively “dead”

@andrew_cowley23 Out of interest - do you know many teachers were recruited in that time frame?

@Dave_Hone please could you help me and my three year-old son identify what type of dinosaur this is? He's insisting it's a hadrosaur...

This isn't just good leaflet copy, this is why politics matters and different parties aren't all "just the same".

Here's a collection of similarly devastating graphs

I cannot stop watching this. It’s one of the most peculiar things I’ve ever seen, which given the venue, is really saying something. Get to the end (if you can).

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

This is cynical beyond belief.
The PM is pretending to halt frightening proposals that simply do not exist.
He is doing it to turn the environment into a US-style political wedge issue - something the UK has avoided all my political life.
Sunak is chucking the environment into a political fire purely to score points.
It is reprehensible.

@jaredwright17 And why backdate it? He wasn't banned at the time of the Ireland game - he was left out by choice after being cleared. Ban should start from now.

@HLTCO It's less about how he's viewed by others and more his own experiences in the sport. We all saw the joy of Bowen/Rice in June. He'd get that at Bayern. Continue playing for Spurs the best he gets is being congratulated on his 251st goal in a post match interview after a 1-1 draw.

This is literally the perfect protest:

• Doesn’t effect the public
• Directly goes after one of the politicians most responsible
• Leaves no actual damage to anything or anyone
• Got people talking

Confettigate: A Statement From Just Stop Oil

The lady who threw confetti in Bruton yesterday was upholding a tradition that is common across many cultures. We absolutely defend the right for people to throw confetti (of whatever colour) at weddings and other celebrations.

If it was a form of protest — which is yet to be established — we applaud it and thank the person concerned. It was peaceful and not especially disruptive, but got massive media attention for Just Stop Oil’s demand.

It has also helped people to recall that George Osborne, one of the main architects of economic austerity, is directly responsible for over 300,000 excess deaths, and that — as a newspaper editor — he was responsible for some of the most egregious climate-denying nonsense ever to darken the pages of mainstream mass media.

However, as much as we applaud the use of orange confetti at this wedding, we were not responsible.

Perhaps the press could focus on something more important now? Like the current government’s plans to licence over 100 new oil and gas projects, which will result in excess deaths the likes of which we have never seen. Or the fact that the UN Secretary General has said that ‘climate change is out of control’ as we’ve just seen the hottest average temperatures since records began. Or the fact that Canadian wildfires have now burned down an area the size of Portugal.

We are in catastrophically dangerous territory and the press have a moral responsibility to inform and educate people as to the causes of the crisis so that we can take action to defend ourselves. In 2023, it is simply criminal not to check your facts.
