The current trend of pretending that students are never disrespectful, because someone they don't like, said they are, is making, obviously very clever people, look extremely stupid.

@teachwellall I'm struggling to understand why you'd enroll your kid at a secular school then use 150k of tax payers money to take the school to court when they refuse to capitulate to your demands for non secular treatment.

@MrAllington Why is a trained, qualified, professional teacher with a mobile phone a safeguarding issue? There's loads of contexts where it's both useful and labor saving. Is their a reason you are climbing this particular Ivory tower?

Prediction: Ofsted will scrap one word judgments to appease teachers. There will be months of wrangling ovet the replacement, which will be a slightly longer version of the one word judgment. Nothing will actually change. Renaming things is the nemesis of UK teaching.

@___batshitcrazy Hate to break it to you but the people that need sympathy are the TA's by the time you account for pro rata, being a TA pays well below a living wage. They are better off working at a supermarket. Until school leaders address this you expect way more of this.

Things that are "too difficult" for children. Taking care of a pen. Expecting them to listen. Expecting them to answer questions. Holding a wee in for a bit. Not punching weaker kids. Picking plain black shoes that are not trainers.... Such a low bar that people argue for.

Teaching unions are a mess. But I reckon that is largely because teachers are so overworked that they can't reasonably engage with their unions. Which is Catch 22. Joining an insurance scheme is not the answer though. IMO teachers have to make time for union work.
