Just ban smart phones in schools. Yes, there are some uses. But these are outweighed by their disadvantages 100-fold. For safety, for learning, for social skills, ban them. Confiscate on sight. Return in the most inconvenient way.

If you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings. I saw Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Itโ€™s huge and fucked me up.

Retain them forโ€ฆ 5 years?
Rishi Sunak announces those who teach key subjects in schools will receive tax-free bonuses of up to ยฃ30,000 over the first five years of their career, in a plan that aims to "attract and retain" teachers. trib.al/Rx0iR33 ๐Ÿ“บ Sky 501 and YouTube

(Supply) teachers who do this mean well but ultimately make everyoneโ€™s experience tangibly worse by tolerating persistent unacceptable behaviour and appealing to the lowest standards possible. You cannot โ€œbuild a relationshipโ€ with anyone who doesnโ€™t respect you.
I remember the supply teacher who, at the end of a truly chaotic lesson, stood on the door and congratulated each rogue as they left for a 'wonderful lesson'. He thought it was an exercise in relationship building. They thought he was a piรฑata

A student coming from a (cover) lesson where theyโ€™ve been allowed to walk around on tables and overtly disrespect staff with impunity is going to bring that same attitude to the next lesson. โ€œBut Mr X letโ€™s us do that!โ€

Imagine that.
Is your school in the 2006 time warp? - group work - style over substance - data drops every half term - โ€œBuzzโ€ - Behaviour your fault - discovery learning - comic sans - marking not feedback - PowerPoints - blame not support Join us instead - message me, look at TES
