The absolute kindest thing we can do for our children in schools, is to provide an environment for them that is safe, calm and dignified. Everything else flows from that.

The SNP says you “can’t do anything” on education without the teaching unions.
But the teaching unions are a huge part of the problem!

In this week’s episode of The Amol Rajan Connection: @daisychristo on how we’re messing up Education; the danger of the Stupidogenic Society; what technology does to our minds; long-term vs working memory; and how AI affects what children should learn. Out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

The SNP want to give free school bags to all P1 pupils, and have managed to find a way to make it cost £30 per bag.

It is a quite incredible example of an out of touch government wasting taxpayers' money.

What impact will the government's new education policies have on standards?

Everyone knows detentions obviously don’t work. Just look at all those kids who keep getting them, right?
But that’s like judging speed cameras by only studying drivers who keep getting caught.
What if the main effect of sanctions is on everyone else?

John Swinney has time for endless posturing over a referendum, a business-class jolly to the USA, a free school bags gimmick, and more.

But he doesn't have time for autistic people like my brother.

The message he has sent couldn't be clearer.

@bowziesfarm Wow. ‘Take away the media,’ that’s wild. And a little fascist, perhaps.

If you don't want to get suspended, don't do the things that get you suspended

It's not complicated

[Daisy Christodoulou @daisychristo]

I have an article in @ArguablyMag on why Labour shouldn't undo Gove's education reforms - and some policies they could try instead.

@ammacj @wyllie_cameron @BBCScotlandNews It’s an OECD report that the government is acting on to reshape the Scottish Curriculum.

[Robert Drummond @robertd1981]

@ammacj @wyllie_cameron @BBCScotlandNews The Scottish Gov trusts them. That would make me trust them.

[Robert Drummond @robertd1981]

@ammacj @staylorish Notice how these statements aren’t in James’ tweet.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Just in case you missed it, here is my Google Drive Resource Library.

I hope it sparks new ideas, fuels your creativity, and helps you head into the new school year with confidence.

Wishing you all the best this year.

We've got this, bruh.

@JohnSwinney this is exactly what #Scottish teachers have been arguing for. This doesn't mean we don't care about the children we teach but behaviour is the no1 issue affecting learning & teaching in our schools. @EISUnion @willie_rennie @STVColin

Is it ok that @McEwanFraser get back to you 2 days later than they should, the starts with, ‘Can you tell us what your enquiry was about please?’
Family bereavements can be stressful.

@Neilsocialist People not being allowed to serve on juries by the council that employs them.

@tracygilbert72 Beethoven 7 is a fantastic piece. Music doesn’t get much better than the 2nd movement of that symphony. That was the piece of ‘classical,’ music my music teacher said I should listen to as the gateway piece to ‘serious,’ music. She was right.

[Robert Drummond @robertd1981]

@CllrSMcCabe Maybe read the candidates statements?
