ATC Sunday… smallest Sqn in the sector by a fair margin but turned out the most cadets for church parade! Very proud
‘We must stop mollycoddling kids’ says Saturday detentions head teacher
Some interesting things in this article including teacher striking over pupils bad behaviour.
I don’t see firm discipline and boundaries being in opposition to safe spaces and wellbeing.
As someone exploring a transition into teaching I can totally see the advantage of a firmly-backed and consistent response to unwanted behaviour.
Taking away a Saturday is the kind of thing that shouldn’t need to happen often for it to start sinking in. As long as it’s balanced with emotional support and other methodologies to ensure kids are getting what they need, it could be a very strong tool.
I’ve been shocked to learn about the growth of the “Manosphere” and Andrew Tate’s toxic views of women and girls and how young men everywhere see them as nothing but chattel. That’s translated into zero respect in the classroom for female staff and it’s quite scary.

Stripped, cleaned and reassembled the handheld Dyson, when it failed to pick up the plastic wrapper for a small straw.
Now it does this thing, where it actually picks up dirt!

And to oil the barrel?
Diameter too large, used water.

More like Dyson barely working, Dyson really not working. Dyson stops.
Do not attempt to dismantle the Dyson further than taught. Contact an armourer (or John Lewis).
YouTube worked well.
It must be the day for vacuum action!! Today ours spectacularly died. With smoke and badness and horrific electrical burning smells.
RIP Henry. 2007-2025.

I’d abandoned Windows and moved to Linux Mint, so that I don’t have to buy a new PC for Windows 11. I got Steam working under Linux and finally installed a first game, which worked perfectly. Gaming is back
