Really looking forward to speaking at ResearchEd #rED25 tomorrow. Feels odd not to be discussing it on twitter. If you're going, do say hello!

The action plan on behaviour appears to be ignore, de-escalation and make excuses for belligerent, obnoxious behaviour. Pupils are going through schools in Scotland with no expectations on how they behave. There is little care given to pupils who just go about their day. It’s a national scandal.
