Child walks in late? Me: Morning, I’m so glad you’re here. 😀 Child forgets their kit / wearing trainers instead of shoes? Me: It’s not the end of the world, remember them tomorrow. 🙂 Child going on holiday? Me: How exciting but we’ll miss you. Guilting a child isn’t helpful.

@LeeBraganza I’m fuming you’re 36 - I thought you were younger than me and now I believe I am, in fact, haggered at 36!! 😫🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

@Emma_Turner75 My worry is the schools allowing this or, perhaps worse, the schools who have no idea this is happening. I don’t think it’s professional, unless it’s about sharing best practise and all permissions have been sought.

@theeducakers Ah, love this! A tough one for me today and this has cheered me up no end - I particularly love that you’ve adapted it and made it your own. 🙌🏻

@greeborunner @dave_mcpartlin I agree. I don’t think any of us can really comment without knowing the context of a school. I went to a really tough secondary, and they had to be tough on behaviour, or else it would have been hell to attend for the majority of kids. Primary is also a different kettle of fish.

@redgierob Perhaps, but I’d also be keen to limit what schools can do commercially. Sharing our curriculums and resources shouldn’t be about making excessive amounts of money, it should be about improving education for all. I hate how expensive lots of these subscriptions are.

@redgierob Fair point - this doesn’t seem right to me either. This needs legislation. What a con. I don’t know what the answer is tbh, but it all feels wrong.

@redgierob And I want to be clear, I’m not saying you aren’t excellent. Im sure you are, Rob. I am not meaning to be personal in anyway.

@redgierob True, but I don’t think privately owned subscription services profiting can be compared to a school profiting though, and Little Wandle is a not-for-profit organisation. I don’t think a limited company and a not-for-profit have the same level of conflict.

@redgierob But how do you judge the efficacy of a scheme? Being popular and being impactful aren’t the same. Without a proper QA process, I’d find it difficult if a subscription service were involved. Add in the issue of profiting from it and I just don’t feel comfortable with it at all.

@Janroweljmu But whatever framework we end up with, we need the best people implementing it, so I don’t think this narrative is helpful. It puts off some of the best potential inspectors, with current experience of the challenges we face as schools and educators, from getting involved. 2/2

RT @PaulGarvey4: Ofsted’s new framework. The criticism from almost all quarters is overwhelmingly and utterly damning. @bphillipsonMP,…

@antJP01 @redgierob Absolutely this - get into the most successful schools (across a range of school contexts) and look for common threads.
