@JMPSimor To be fair all round, one must assert Palestine's right to exist too, condemn Hamas for its war crimes but not for legitimate resistance against illegal occupation, want both sides to release captives, and condemn Israel unequivocally for its war crimes and genocide.
Good morning! 1. Schools behaviourists are REALLY bad at dealing with criticism 2. Benefits vouchers = stigma 3. News media needs to do better at not allowing itself to be captured by well-funded and networked PR teams. (I.E. You have to LOOK for real stories.) 4. MONDAY.

#TomBennett is now playing the victim 🤭 He has no published research, and never attends *real* research conferences with his alleged evidence-based work. Of course we’re going to challenge his evidence base, that’s normal in academia. Oh I forgot, he’s a #fakeprof 😉

This is not accidental. England’s children’s care system has been radically restructured under the ideology of children aged 16 and 17 not needing to be cared for. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Open forum. Can people say what they think of Oak National Academy? Am interested to know what classroom teachers make of it.
Excellent blog this. We need more informed critical perspectives on AI in public services. Time to get real. AI is being - and will continue to be - used to privatise everything. Persuade me otherwise.

Social workers need to be critically thinking about and discussing the potential impacts of AI on the people we support.

'There is a tangible concern that artificial intelligence (AI) tools and algorithms may harbour inherent biases, potentially leading to punitive measures that, fundamentally, could impart a sense of criminalization and psychological distress among individuals.'

Been thinking exactly this recently... theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Personally I'm pro-not killing and injuring people/imprisoning/taking hostage/destroying homes and infrastructure in the pursuit of any cause.
From its failure to help prevent civilian slaughter in Gaza to the cruel Rwanda Bill, the UK Government is deliberately destabilising the concept of universal human rights. It’s turning its back on its moral responsibilities. amn.st/6019bWjlJ

It must be really hard if you lead an environment of incredibly high control and low resistance... ...to then come on here where you don't hold that power and get a dose of external opinion. Must be jarring.
@KatieWaldegrave @NowTeachOrg Fascinating to observe how some people and organisations who made no comment about some great providers being wiped out by the ITT Market Review,are so upset by this announcement.
There’s not a lot out there on how people from non-traditional backgrounds got their dream job. I’m looking for grad jobs right now and feel like the barriers are endless, never mind being care experienced too. If you come from a non-traditional background, how did you do it?
Abusive posts are wrong. What is equally wrong is that the Mr Bennett continues to fuel the them/us narrative, it’s almost as if his job depends on it. Whilst also ignoring research study (he is aware of) at AET. My son acquired tics & he’s fine with this? 8 kids experimented on.
Dialog+ in action - this is what’s replacing the care plan approach across England Looks good doesn’t it because seems like the patient has written it. It’s not even written by someone who knows the patient 🫠
This was a recent ‘care plan’ sent to my GP from CMHT, written up by a woman who spoke to me for 15 mins and has never met me prior to this 15 min call. I’d like to say at no point was I asked what I would prefer to happen and what I would not, that was just decided
Education is thinking work. Thinking about how to educate. Thinking about ideas, concepts, practice. Thinking when planning, thinking when embroiled in education, thinking about learning, teaching, researching, writing. Reactive thought. Reflective thought. But education is…
What we actually need is experienced teachers and leaders. And we are losing far too many of them. Filling these experience gaps with new, or temporary teachers and TAs isn’t good enough, especially when gaps just keeping getting wider.
'Last year, nearly 9,000 women aged 30 to 39 exited the profession. Many of them held over a decade of experience in middle or senior leadership roles' 🤰@AnnaCMcShane buff.ly/3WhRrVe
“Charity chief executives are twice as likely as the wider population to have gone to private school, rising to three times as likely for the biggest charities.” We knew the non-profit sector had a class problem, but even I’m shocked to see the extent of it confirmed by these…
Gosh. What a divisive statement. I was teaching our MA Ed students yesterday. Many of our PGCEs and BA Ed Qts come back to do their MAs. One yesterday has been teaching 8 years.
Unlike other routes into teacher training, Now Teach stay the course with you. Changing career & translating your experience takes time. So we stick around. From ITT application to the classroom. To QTS and applying for your ECT role. And then beyond. #NT2025
#TomBennett is now playing the victim 🤭 He has no published research, and never attends *real* research conferences with his alleged evidence-based work. Of course we’re going to challenge his evidence base, that’s normal in academia. Oh I forgot, he’s a #fakeprof 😉
❗️This radical restructuring of England's children's care system has been driven by secondary legislation. Secondary legislation receives minimal parliamentary scrutiny. The last time secondary legislation was voted down was 1979. How many MPs realise what's been done?
Then law changed for 16 & 17 year-olds in care. 4 categories of 'supported accommodation' can now be registered with Ofsted. Distinguishing feature of all = children don't receive care. Category 3 is accommodation where adults of any age also live. Law does not exclude hotels.
@Ria1984 Before you die on that hill perhaps you could tell us who exactly has ever said that SEND is a reason to have no rules? It would be a bit sad if you died on a hill conjured from your own imagination, wouldn't it?

Really getting fed up with the conservative elite failing to understand the concerns of remain voters, and Brexiteers continuing to position themselves as victims 8 years on.

Sgoor-na-h-Ulaidh . First new munro since achilles rupture last Summer, and felt like it too, but rewarded by the views
Still puzzled by DHSC & the Chief SW post. They didn’t recruit at £95K despite interest. So they’ve increased salary to £120-130K. What do we want as a leader? A DASS? Why? Never had one previously. We need a great Social Worker & have 25k to choose from! civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?j…
