I've been saying this for years - now @TES & Teacher Tapp have got the data: teachers are unprepared to meet SEND needs. Only 1 in 10 primary teachers say they are well prepared to meet the SEMH needs of pupils. Support teachers. Train them. Help pupils. tinyurl.com/39wjyfz9

Yes. Blaming children for their disability, a trope since ancient times, equating physical and psychological difference as aberrant. It's the fanfare of bullies.

'The vandalism of austerity'. So true. Before anyone gets into the parents vs teacher conflict in education for SEND children, remember this phrase. We have all been vandalised, and we all feel the pain.

Earlier this week we heard in a govt report how SEND delays put children at risk of severe violence. Today we learn SEND children are at risk of trafficking & modern slavery. And delays in SEND help play a critical part putting their lives at risk. tinyurl.com/2rcsdbef

Home education is up 20% from 92k to 111k in the last 12 months according to govt data published today. More children leaving education. More exclusions. More severely absent children. We need to rethink education. …e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…

I've had enough of billionaire owners using their platforms to promote their far-right, anti-democratic, hate conspiracies. I've learned a lot from good people. But I've had enough. Leaving is overdue. Thank you for your company. I'm at Tim Linehan.bsky.social. Do keep in touch.
