I can't think of any adults in schools that are happy to work within a culture of fear. So why are adults accepting of doing that for students?

Went to the play about Max Ritvo last night - totally recommend it. I think it's something the poetry community should be totally getting behind. The Poetry Society Magma Poetry Poetry London Poetry Review The Rialto

Our television licence fees are supposed to fund an impartial BBC. Not a blatantly partisan rightwing populist 'news channel'.
