Once in my classroom, in the beanbag corner under the Cheeseplant, after a wee while I get down next to them and say “what was that all about?”

All the theory is implicit in the genuine, caring, nurturing sessions that have built a relationship and most importantly TRUST. My school manages these situations with care.

My own behaviour communicates the principles and theory I advocate for.

I shouted across the playground “HAW!! PACK IT IN RIGHT NOW AND GET TO MY CLASSROOM!”.

I turned around and started walking towards the door to fob them in, and guess what, they followed!!

The class teacher was supporting the others and I was available to try and help them. Now did I go outside and bang the mystical Bowlby attachment drums? No. Boxall’s nurture principle pan pipes? No.

I’m glad we organised @glacritped.bsky.social because if getting raging at liberal teachers on Twitter was all I did I would have become (and was becoming) heavy depressed.

Yeah I don’t get that either, yea it was great for communicating but if you’re not then taking the communication into the real world then it’s just angry tapping on your phone, and generating ad revenue and engagement for Elon Musk.

Aw thanks pal I wondered where the followers came from!

That’s a good’un
