I almost envy the naivety shown in this article.

I am in the kitchen grilling some tomatoes… "What are your names?” “What type of tomatoes are you?” “Where were you at 8.43 last Tuesday evening?”

I really wish it was a moral panic. If people knew the kinds of things there were going on every single second of the day...once you see behind that curtain, you get a completely different perspective. We have overprotected in public and under-protected kids online.

Kids can do everything right and still be exposed to awful content and be susceptible to grooming. The algorithms don't care about whether you've "done the work" necessary to use the device.

This is an incredibly naive take. It's not a lazy cop out. They are not an essential tool. A 10 year old absolutely does not need a fully enabled smart phone. Teaching about privacy settings doesn't stop the avalanche of issues the online world presents. /1

Welcome to the world baby girl Boxer ❤️❤️❤️ Mum and baby did a spectacular job, and a special thank you to all at @whhtmaternity, in particular midwives Grace and Dorothy, and neo natal nurses Andrea and Lovely 🙏🙏

I think I might have said this before, but apart from using a smartphone as an assistive technology to aid with a disability, I can't see any argument against not drastically prohibiting use in schools. And that's coming from someone who's spent 20-odd years in ed and tech.

This year's royalties for The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading have arrived (£5,477). As promised, this money has been donated to Malaria Consortium. This brings the running total donated (with Gift Aid) to roughly £57,000 in four years. >>

Years ago, it was decided that coding was the future, so we all-but-stopped teaching ICT in favour of Computer Science, and now I have classes of children who can't send emails, save files, touch type. Perhaps before we replace the current curriculum with AI lessons, we pause.

Buzzing little project for a local nursery. Sensory path built with some specific nonverbal little ones in mind.

I know this is Edutwitter and he’s not in education,but this is my brother who has been stung hard by his current employer. If at all possible,please could you ‘like’ & ‘repost’ this as you never know! He’s based in Suffolk but I’m sure will travel! Please give a little repost

CRISIS INTERVENTION HUB. Gimme them cakes.

Not read the article yet cos working, but I bet a packet of Jaffa cakes that they’ve not got rid of isolation, they’ve just changed the name. STAY TUNED FOR RESULTS.

People who have an issue with teachers being anonymous here also seem quite happy conversing with people who are not only anonymous but also use abusive language to those they don't like. In the very same thread where they're saying it's wrong to be anonymous.

Er...yes we do? Next question, I'm knocking them out of the park today!

For those teachers of a certain vintage, neuro-linguistic programming though. What the heck

Don’t shoot the messenger but I’m wondering: Is anyone standing up for those students (especially SEND) who regularly have their learning or even safety compromised by very disruptive or even abusive students in state schools? I bet it’s more common than people realise.

Just a reminder of this … And that goes for my garden threads as well

With this coming across my feed again, I wonder if we're ready to have a serious conversation about the people paid by schools to run anti-racism training. Posting in praise of a woman who blames '[J]ewish supremacy' for her being investigated for antisemitism should not be

Absolutely baffled and horrified to read that the 15 year old boy who murdered Harvey Willgoose at school had already brought an AXE into school, then brought another KNIFE into school - before then bringing in the knife to murder Harvey. Someone needs to explain why in the
