1. The wording is devious & malicious.

@naomicfisher is well aware that her anecdotal evidence represents <1% of school students but uses the word “system” to present them as wide-spread, institutionalised cruelty.

Pitting teachers & parents against one another.

[Naomi Fisher @naomicfisher]

Why won’t I just stay in my lane, stop talking about our school system and get on with treating mental health problems? Because every day I hear about practices in schools which cause distress - and I’m being asked to resolve the distress as if it, not the practice, is the problem. I’m being asked to be complicit in practices which are damaging to young people’s well-being.

I’m being asked to tell young people that the problem is them, that they’re wrong to feel the way they do and with a bit of therapy they can go back to the unchanged system. I’m being asked to tell them that the system is right and they are wrong.

What practices, you ask? Putting young people into isolation for haircuts, or nose piercings. Instant detentions for minor uniform transgressions. Young people who have struggled into school being greeted with a behaviour point because they were three minutes late, and then another behaviour point for not taking their coat off immediately. Children who have had a very difficult term ending it off with being excluded from the school trip due to poor attendance. I hear these stories from multiple families, all over the UK.

There’s nothing wrong with people who feel distressed and anxious when they are in a system which creates distress and anxiety. Our children aren’t the problem, they are pointing out the problem.

@_free_f0rever_ @TheRealFbloke To be fair, it’s more likely that the Earth is flat than a bunch of League 1 nobodies raising £1bn by selling hotdogs to their 10 fans.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison That’s because you have no experience as a teacher.

If you had any teaching experience whatsoever, it would be obvious to you that
low level disruption stops (in all but the most extreme cases) if there is a suitable sanction for said disruption.

[Jamie Carragher @Carra23]

Anyone believing Man Utd’s results & performances this season are down to the fact they haven’t got a back up left back & another striker are deluded.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison Those behaviours occur with such frequency because they are tolerated. If they weren’t tolerated, they wouldn’t happen. Obviously.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison Hence why I shared the poll of over 10,000 teachers’ experience.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison As a teacher, my opinion alone would trump yours as I am in the classroom and you’re an armchair critic.

However, it’s not just my opinion. For example, this is data from over 10,000 teachers.

I’m sure you know better than them all though…

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison An opinion you hold with zero classroom experience and one that opposes what those actually in the classroom are reporting.

How is it that you are able to diagnose the issues in the classroom better than teachers?

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison You started this thread with the false-premise (lie) that schools are less tolerant than in the past. So don’t pretend that you want honest, genuine debate.

Additionally, unless you have teaching experience, my argument isn’t a strawman.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@greg_ashman You can’t make an honest argument if your ideology directly opposes objective reality.

Therefore, “progressive” “teachers” have to obfuscate and distract.

For example, they describe their regressive ideology as progressive and call competence authoritarianism.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison You’re not supportive because teachers have the audacity to push back when you condescendingly imply that they are stupid, lazy & sadistic?

(By implying you, with no experience, could create a utopia where those who dedicate their lives to the profession resort to tyranny.)

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison Spoken with the arrogance and hubris of someone who has never had to try and teach 30+ children at once.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@nsdmorrison And, by suggesting that schools are less tolerant today, it sounds like you are confusing your experience as someone who pontificates about education from their ivory tower with the real experience of teachers who are actually trying to contribute on the ground.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

@BarryNSmith79 All misbehaviour in school is the result of unmet needs that have originated from EXTREME trauma. To say other worse is literal genocide.

[Jamie Rowe @JRowe_7]

Is being so lazy and unfit that you get outrun by the referee something that you work on during training @ManUtd?

[The Sun Football ⚽ @TheSunFootball]

How Man Utd's midfield were outran by the referee against Spurs! 😮

Manchester United fans, please listen to Jamie’s breakdown of your team.

[Beth Lindop @beth_lindop]

To be fair, on reflection, Liverpool can just say they have irrefutable evidence they won the game.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

On the plus side for Liverpool, at least they aren't facing relegation as a result of a decade of systematic breaches of Premier League rules
