I was on virtual training today. 👨🎓 After 40 minutes, I couldn’t sit and concentrate any longer. So I switched my camera off, and folded laundry while listening along. As an adult, that’s smart. As a kid, that’s defiant, disruptive, and worthy of punishment.
At what point does “kids being kids” become “adults being abusers”? Can they really be blamed as an adult if it is excused when they are a child?
Unpopular opinion: Primary school children threatening violence upon others is not just “kids being kids” It is the start of something quite dangerous and it needs to be addressed.
Make sure your voice is heard... Let's overwhelm them with evidence to support what we have all been saying. Everyone, now is the time to put pen to paper or get to your keyboards! Enough is Enough! Change Is Coming! #ShineOn

If your practice causes someone to require mental health and well-being support: The solution isn’t to provide that support. The solution is to change your practice.
As teacher transfer deadline day approaches, I’d like to list myself as a free agent for September. Can play any position in KS2, but could slot in to a KS1 multi-form-entry system. Any schools in Lincolnshire looking for a primary teacher who can hit a top bins in brogues?
Dad has to be made aware of Early Help Assessment because: “Dad is violent, so it is unsafe to ask the children to keep secrets from him.” However, there are “no safeguarding concerns.” If these children weren’t in danger, it would be laughable.

If you chose not to meet a child’s needs you don’t get to be annoyed or punish them for the outcome you created. #SendTips
Coercive control is NOT parental alienation. Parental alienation is NOT coercive control. Simples.
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek School On Fire If a child has an anxiety disorder & if school is one of the triggers for them, then school is effectively a burning building. The child knows that flames are dangerous. They know that smoke is dangerous. The child senses danger. 1/
Update: Headteacher has sent email to staff stating that any safeguarding concerns should NOT be logged on the system (CPOMS), but instead should be reported to him. Mum has since received SAR and there are no safeguarding concerns now logged on CPOMS. Is this legal?

An incredible amount of support, thank you. Regardless of your occupation, please find the time to educate yourself on domestic abuse and coercive control. I like to think I am quite well educated and compassionate, however there was so much I was naive to. It is horrific.

“Help, an animal is in danger.” RSPCA: “We will investigate this immediately.” “Help, a child is in danger.” Children’s Services: “Sorry, it doesn’t meet our threshold.”
School have now deemed that there is a safeguarding concern: That concern is mum. You honestly could not write it. I am in compete and utter disbelief at their incompetence. She now faces losing her children. The children she spent 12 years protecting from his abuse.

Is there any part of this country that isn’t broken? Education? Broken. Police? Broken. Transport? Broken. NHS? Broken. Social Care? Broken. Environment? Broken. Economy? Broken. Housing Market? Broken. The government that caused it all? Broken. But Brexit was good, right?
Note to schools: This is not “parental conflict”. This is not a “sensitive” parent. This is not “what is best for the children”. This is abuse.

‘Safeguarding thresholds’ are infuriating. Apparently, safeguarding only exists when it is too late. Too many children are hurt, let down, or able to go missing all because their needs or circumstances aren’t ‘severe’ enough on paper.
There are those for whom teaching is a passion - relentless in their determination to do the very best they can for their students. For others, it's just a job.
Underfunding is a massive problem. It means services, schools, and teachers are overstretched and poorly supported. It is not, however, an excuse for a lack of empathy, care or effort. Just because the government is failing our children, doesn’t mean we have to too.

“It turns out that symptoms of ADHD such as fidgeting, foot-tapping and chair-swiveling are triggered by cognitively demanding tasks - like school and homework. But movies and video games don't typically require brain strain, so the excessive movement doesn't manifest.”
This study led by University of Central Florida found that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms manifest watching videos requiring executive brain function [read more: buff.ly/3Dq8bgm] [full paper: buff.ly/3NdWpvU]
Pastoral staff are why some kids go to school each day. They’re why some kids leave school with qualifications. Why some slowly learn to trust adults again. Why some can find a place to feel safe. We undervalue them. Underpay them. And take them for granted.
