Heard an interesting comment on teacher wellbeing this evening. “You don’t realise you were so unwell until you feel better. Then you’re in shock at how you didn’t know at the time.” It’s so sad that it’s probably so true.

I'm a published author!!!! My paper shows how a therapeutic thinking behaviour policy is discriminatory and potentially illegal. "Examining a Therapeutic Behavioural Approach in a Secondary School: Efficacy and Discriminatory Implications" ubplj.org/index.php/TBJE…

There are a few bits in this article that worry me: 1. A student who has 'grabbed a teachers arm' (presumably forcefully) ends up listening to a teacher read a book to them for 10 minutes as the sanction? 2. Students say "Teachers can be your friend here" Reasons they worry me:

Schools such as Aboyne Primary do and continue to exist, where complex need students are treated like this openly, imagine how complex need adults are treated in the closed workplace throughout the UK. I am appalled,but not surprised. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Watching Jeremy Clarkson's pig episode S3Ep4 "harrowing"..... bloody hell.... I mean seriously that was one of the hardest things I've ever watched, actually made me break out in an anxious sweat. I'll never look at a sausage again quite the same way

I’m sure that all the children whose school lives are blighted by disruption, bullying, violence and abuse will be comforted to know that somewhere, an academic has commissioned a knitted blanket in support of the ones disrupting, bullying, being violent and abusive.
