I wonder how many other high-achieving schools this applies to. A culture of ‘discipline’, and outstanding results at all costs, has led some establishments to lose sight of their kids’ welfare.
Over the last few weeks there have been reports regarding the Mossbourne Federation schools in Hackney. Reports from teachers, from ex-pupils and from parents. All talk about an atmosphere of fear, which teachers say was created deliberately and that they were told was justified educationally. 1/

I visited a school recently which had SLANT posters up. I asked about it. The teacher was casual. ‘It’s just behaviours to help learning’. Behaviours to help students say engaged, says one school website. Another school says that using SLANT helps students to ensure they are focused on learning.1/

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

So in talking to to folks about the Gaetz withdrawal, I discovered that the reason it didn’t make them feel more optimistic about our chances of blocking the other nominees is that they literally do not know how it happened.

While I was on parole, a cop tried to force me into giving up the names of three drug dealers in exchange for not taking me to jail on bogus charges.

An observation my father made after visiting me in prison for a few years: cops are the only profession that gets ultimate authority over other human beings without ever having to earn it. They don't have to learn how to communicate, how to manage people, how to settle disputes.
