If strict uniform policies are about reducing bullying and visible inequality, why make children whose shoes have broken wear communal shoes which are visibly not theirs or continue to wear their broken shoes until new ones are bought? Why is this a better option than allowing…
Is it behaviour? Or communication? In 2021/2022, 39,930 teachers left the profession for reasons other than retirement. That’s behaviour. That’s what they did. They left. What does it look like when a government treats that as ‘behaviour’? They’d use rewards and sanctions…
“Getting a 'good' grade from Ofsted does not compensate for all the stress, anxiety and fear created in our school over the past few years - and its impact on our staff. As we have shown, the people who know their school best and who know how to improve it are those who live and…
Making criticism of harsh behaviour policies into a "outsider Vs classroom teacher" narrative is predictable but not held up by the overwhelming majority of classroom teachers and schools not operating at extremes and doing really well with ALL of their community.
Shoes and the social contract A parent has got in touch to share this story. Her son’s school became an academy last Sept and part of this is an increasingly strict uniform code. She bought him a pair of shoes which cost £75 at the start of the year and he has now worn through…
Another day and another shoe story. This parent told me that her son came home on Wednesday with a broken shoe and clearly needed a new pair. Both parents work full time and don’t drive so couldn’t get new shoes immediately – he wears specific shoes as those are the only ones he…
I will never name a school or parents (unless the story is already in the public domain) as this could identify a young person. If that means you think I'm lying, so be it. I don't know why you think I would be motivated to lie about something like this. I'm not trying to…

If school uniform is to give children something trivial to rebel against, why make the consequences for infractions so very non-trivial (like sending them home, or putting them in isolation)? If every minute of education matters, why send a teenager to reset for having a nose…
We are very lucky at preschool because we can respond to changes in behaviour with flexibility in our curriculum. For instance, we introduced a daily walk after lunch when we noticed that children's behaviour was telling us they needed this. #EYFS
Whatever the DfE is doing clearly isn't working. We're not going to behaviourism ourselves out of this situation, whatever friends of govt say. I think we have to look at wider issues around why the system isn't meeting needs. schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-lose-a…
Every time I post about things like being sent home for the wrong shoes, and behaviour apps where parents are alerted to their kids going to the toilet, and teenagers being sent to isolation for the wrong hair cut, people tell me that this is only the minority of schools and I’m…
‘If they don’t like it, they can go elsewhere’. This is why high control schools will never work for all. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… The Michaela ruling shows exactly why high control school environments aren’t scalable - and why problems ensure when all the schools in an area…

I'm actually very proud of the fact that my book has been in print for 23 years and especially because people have told me it has helped them. Thanks everyone. 😊😘

I'm very grateful to work in a school where this is definitely NOT the case. Our staff & pupil wellbeing surveys show vast majority feel safe and happy. Recent parent surveys show vast majority are happy with the school and way it's run. Behaviour in good shape overall. Why?🧵
We hear it time and again in focus groups and polling with both teachers and parents that classroom behaviour is in sharp decline. The shadow of the covid lockdowns, screen time and the cost of living crisis are a heady cocktail... schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-lose-a…
@naomicfisher @_MissingTheMark Thank you both for an excellent webinar. Taken so much away. 👏🏻💜

@naomicfisher How can it be legal to, and why would anyone sane, punish a child for having parents too poor to buy parts of the strictly enforced uniform?
@naomicfisher @_MissingTheMark I have been practising low demand parenting, and it's been a game changer. Some people on the outside think I am too soft, but it has improved our sons anxiety (and subsequently ours) significantly. We have so much more fun as a family now and less tension and stress.
Another day, another traumatised 15 yr old who's self-worth hits rock bottom, facing another yr & a half struggling to access learning, feeling constantly, in his words, 'stupid'. It's v hard, after 12 yrs listening to these stories. Shout out to all the fam's dealing with this.
@naomicfisher @_MissingTheMark Just booked my ticket. Really looking forward to this. So fed up of walking on eggshells.
@naomicfisher As an EP I set up a School Anxiety Project. We worked in the child’s home with anxious children who were no longer able to leave the house or even their bedroom. It wasn’t perfect but the joint work with NHS mental health teams was fantastic. Lost to funding cuts, of course.
What if we flipped the narrative on its head and considered whether direct instruction can actually contribute to cognitive load? What if the answer isn't for us to strip out all the 'extraneous' load but to give children more agency to manage it? 🤷♀️
I would also add – a child intently and freely following their curiosity is expertly managing cognitive load -- building on existing schemas, pruning out unnecessary details and elaborating others, branching out in related directions so all new information is interconnected.
Is the work of developmental psychologists and developmental neuroscientists irrelevant for schools, because they are only talking about learning which is hardwired (or biologically primary, as Geary would say)? Does the science indicate that cognitive load theory is ‘the science…
@suzyg001 I really do think there are some subconscious biases going on here among people who don't have much knowledge about early child development.
@naomicfisher Yes, that's why I said 'key factors'. But the research talks about 'trusting' relationships as if there is a parenting deficit when they break down rather than school induced stress affecting both parent & child & undermining trust. They've not qualified their findings enough IMO
@naomicfisher lol! 😂 Relieved to see this. Me & my husband spent way too much time trying to understand the time listing & time zones conversion difference. “But she said Lunch Time, do they eat lunch at 4pm?” We need universal earth time.

@naomicfisher I am insufferable now, I am v pleased with myself!!! Everyone was lucky I had driven and I was sober otherwise I would have been uncontrollably happy and excited and caused havoc!
