@garethkthomas "Crazy making" policies, I've seen first hand primary school walls plastered with mental health and well-being projects, with staff simultaneously verbally abusing and terrifying children with power trip punishments.
@drrachelhewitt Love this piece, Rachel. I'm a swimmer, your words fit loving the laps in the water. I have learned to focus on the joy in each stroke, it's a dance, I'm flying, I'm free. In my imagination I'm Olympian, I'm @sharrond62 .
@QcWynter Wow congratulations, you are honoured. Wait til you are 'all in' and pay someone to feed the wildlife when you are away, as I do. They like peanuts. Do make contact with your local badger group.
@warwickmansell What is the purpose? Desired outcome? Detention further alienates the disengaged and creates anxiety for those who conform. Fear, shame and punishment are not conducive to learning.
