I think this tells us everything we need to know about the current Ed Sec: no mention of teachers, school leaders, or the excellent work done by support staff.
I call this 'Beanbag Leadership'. "And what did the teacher do to make you swear at her? Never mind, go and have a sit on the beanbag in my office". I wish I was exaggerating.
Thoroughly depressing article. All the eduvoices that have led to this carnage are present in England too, and we need to be constantly vigilant to prevent them getting anywhere near the levers of power.

Daughter, who is studying Veterinary Medicine, rang me. "Guess what we were taught about today? Learning styles". Why? Why is this nonsense still doing the rounds?
Amazing, isn't it? If you know stuff, and you're given opportunities to express the stuff that you know, and some expert role models thrown in for good measure, you become quite good at expressing yourself.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if @Northeastern University got tons of questions about why one of their professors is publicly threatening to harm lesbians who won’t sleep with men?

Left school at 3.30 to drive to pick daughter up from uni. Back home, after 7 hours of driving. What on earth was going on on the M5/6 today?!
100% agree. All MATs and schools should follow suit.

Where is the parent in all of this? All the blame on the school and the teacher.

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com
1) the pupil should be permanently excluded; 2) the police should be called. This is not a difficult question to answer.
"If a pupil punches a teacher, who is PREGNANT, in the stomach, what should happen to that pupil?"
Straight question to @thesnp EDUCATION minister

Pupils & teachers are NOT safe in Scottish schools.
This is not just nonsense, it's deeply damaging nonsense. Placing the blame on teachers for not being engaging is missing the point to such a degree that it's off the map.
