@Henry_Hepburn @tesScotland @tes The SQA need to take responsibility for ditching the better aspects of Standard Grade which ensured certification for all. They need to look at N5/N4 and how they can allow learners and their teachers to set aspirational targets but still have a cushion for those who fall short

@Henry_Hepburn @Emma_Seith @tesScotland @tes Absolutely. Been saying this for years. The pressure on primary HTs is insane. Many of our most vulnerable and traumatised children are of primary school age.

@WTACRaymond @Hayo_luke Spot on Raymond. If it was all as simple as just consistently applying sanctions our jails would be empty. We need to develop emotional intelligence in our young people and equip them with an emotional toolkit to support them through life.

Society: “an ADHD diagnosis after 30 is a waste.” Me: There is a kind of healing that can come with a deep knowing that your struggle is real. That you are believed and validated. That you are worthy enough to be seen for exactly who you are. Your. Brain. Is. Beautiful. -Dr. Jen

@William_J_Burke Thanks Billy. Once again you put into words very eloquently the reasons why education is changing and evolving at a rapid pace. Just wish all teachers in the profession embraced the change instead of clinging on to old outdated ideas and structures

1. The reality of schools is that they are a relatively recent approach in human history and were designed around standardisation, compliance and uniformity. Designed at a time (early last century) when we knew much less about learning, development and wellbeing.

Children are not the enemy. They are the reason schools exist and they are the thing that makes being a teacher brilliant. Best job in the world mainly because of the young people you work with.

Don’t dismiss ADHD as simply hyperactivity, poor concentration & impulsivity-to do so is to trivialise what can be very debilitating. Unmanaged it’s impact can be ‘disabling’. Please take this issue seriously. It affects 1 in 20 to varying degrees. We all know someone with ADHD

How many of your ADHD struggles are just due to shame for being yourself that others have wrought on you over the years? #askADHD

@William_J_Burke @SAMHtweets @heraldscotland Agree with everything in your article. I am also very concerned about the national shortage of ADHD medication that is proving to be extremely challenging for our young ppl, their families and schools.

I’m hearing that internal truancy is a huge issue in secondary at the moment Could that be down to lots of assumption, not much curiosity and a really narrow view of how anxiety presents There has to be a point where blaming children and parents isn’t enough

What does excellent teaching look like? I have created this poster for my school. Each of the icons at the top hyperlinks to a helpful article with advice and tips on that aspect. Let me know what you think docs.google.com/presentation/d…

@MrMcEnaney Very few jobs have any kind of uniform now. Those that do are designed for comfort and practicality- nhs uniforms being one example. Blazers are outdated, as are ties. Uniforms should be used to promote equity, be simple and comfortable.

@A_R_zanetti @grahamchatterl2 @ShakinthatChalk @A_R_zanetti I could not agree more . A teacher giving a wee bit of ground is incredibly powerful for a child. It exemplifies what we need to see from children themselves. So many adults utterly entrenched in their positions.

Reading @MatildaBoseley book on her ADHD journey and can relate so much to what she describes. She also simplifies the science which is a massive help ❤️
