Genuine question. When Tom Bennett dismisses a whole cohort of vulnerable kids he's never met & doesn't understand as having "deep-seated personality disorders"... How is this any better than the old bigot in the pub claiming that "all foreigners are criminals"? @educationgovuk?

@TTRadioOfficial @tombennett71 Bennett uses SEND children to manufacture a behaviour crisis, which allows him & Selection by Compliance schools to do wherever they want to punish & harm the children they don’t want. And Rogers nods and allows him to get away with these views without challenge. Shame on you.

Brilliant 🤣

@Ria1984 Incorrect on all fronts. You'd not get multiple wins for something so low level. Yes harm to family. Firstly to the affected child, then to the sibling mistreated in retaliation for parental pushback, then to the parents for 2 years of battles inc smear campaign by SLT & CoG.

@cierzo1 @TTRadioOfficial @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Is this the @educationgovuk official line now?

@RachelFairfiel1 @TTRadioOfficial Soon as he mentioned TB, I stopped listening, just as he does with parents he disagrees with. I should think at one point most parents on twitter were blocked. #ignorant #noExpert

@AdamHighcliffe @educationgovuk Absolute horror show.

In the course of a minute, Bennett forgets that he originally blamed ‘badly-behaved’ SEMH kids for the high sanction rates in SEND. But... the DfE categorises ADHD as a subset of SEMH. Yet TB is now trying to divide ADHD from SEMH. So... which is it, Tom? ⬇️

Another day, another SEND-bashing shocker from @educationgovuk behaviour tsar Tom Bennett. In just 80 seconds, Bennett reveals that 10 years at DfE have left him with as much awareness & compassion around SEND as Nigel Farage. Let's take a quick look... 🧵

@TTRadioOfficial Why did Rogers not challenge this extremely harmful & unfounded claim by Bennett? How about inviting a SEND parent on to talk about the system & attitudes like this from our POV? Maybe someone who's won at Tribunal vs schools & leaders exhibiting these views?

@realdoll03 Well, within a week they went from sending me a letter telling me I had not submitted anything about it, to the saying I can escalate the complaint to Stage 2 if I’m unhappy with their response but no, he’s not attending

I have never seen a pupil return to school after multiple suspensions & change their behaviour. It has never shocked them onto a different path,it accelerated the one they were already on.We need to address the root cause of the behaviour that is driving it & find another way🧠🌱

Important to read this from Keighley with regards absence of schools legal duties and harassment of her personally #SEND

Rise in allegations against teachers up by 1/3, described as "deeply worrying" by Edapt. Not because of what's causing the issue, but because of the workload of investigation! Top tip: a way to reduce complaints is not to do things people complain about:

Is this comedy actor for the government telling a poor joke about children? Or is Tom really more knowledgeable about psychology than the British Psychological Society? #SEND

@michaelgove In fact, your influence on Year 6 writing has been dire, because it now consists of writing to a formula of so-called grammatical features such as expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and embedded relative clauses. Content is now secondary or disregarded.

I’m SICK of people attacking those on benefits. I’ll say one more time. I had a partner and a beautiful family. But sadly he died. I had 4 kids by myself. I didn’t have family to help step in. I ended on benefits because I couldn’t afford childcare. My kids were 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and
