THREAD: I'm obsessing at the moment about all the signs that my students are not paying attention. Here are the ones I've come up with, alongside some solutions.

🧵 Big news today: Netflix drama Adolescence will be shown in all UK secondary schools to help tackle the influence of toxic online figures like Andrew Tate. As a teacher—and someone who’s worked closely with teenage boys—I’ve got thoughts. A thread 👇 🧵

We do not agree with Adolescence being shown in schools and intend to put our arguments across urgently to government. Whilst it is a fantastic, gritty piece of writing, Adolescence is not an educational resource and is not suitable for schools. Teachers cannot be expected to
