Up early for a long walk and a hearty breakfast, before delivering some online training. Today's masterclass is called, 'Boys Do Cry' and it looks at practical steps that classroom teachers and pastoral leads can take to improve boys' emotional wellbeing.

Comment below or DM if you have 5 mins to spare!

Thanks 😊

A few bits of student feedback from today's student workshop on Tender Masculinity.

I'm hugely excited to be giving my first Tender Masculinity assembly tomorrow!

People's comments have alerted me to the fact that actually, yes, lots of boys are really good at hugging etc. I think it tends to be the older ones. Positive!
I think boys need to get better at (consensually) hugging one another.

This relentless grabbing, play fighting, punching etc is getting tiresome now.

They want platonic physical closeness but society has rendered that unacceptable.

It's sad.

I'm on episode 3 of Twin Peaks. For the people who caught it the first time around, is it worth me persisting?

I realise I now need to leave X.

My reason for staying is financial: I get a lot of job enquiries through here.

Leaving will mean losing roughly 25 thousand contacts.

Any self-employed people got advice for leaving X and making up for the loss of potential clients?

Oh good. An after-school staff meeting where someone is reading a slide show out loud to a room full of educators.

For what it's worth, I'm of the opinion that if you reject the term 'toxic masculinity' you're also the type of person that says 'not all men.'
January 11, 2025 at 2:01 PM
I still continue to use the term 'toxic masculinity' and I'm yet to be swayed by arguments that the phrase is damaging to young boys.

Does anybody know of any actual empirical research into this theory? This idea that the phrase TM has a detrimental effect on boys' self esteem?

Agreed. When intervention is first implemented, year 11 is seen to be the most pressing need so they get the support. Every year after, do you continue tackling year 11 or do you focus on KS3/year 10 and "abandon" that current year 11? Feels like there's never enough time/money to do both.
January 11, 2025 at 10:07 AM
I continue to believe that frantic, panicked interventions at year 11, in the last term before exam season are not where schools should be directing their intervention efforts.
