Teacher numbers are falling, provisions and resources seem to be, widespread delinquent behaviour has been reported to be on the rise, and it seems like they’re refusing more and more to enforce the rules on such behaviour, but if you turn up with the wrong haircut or wearing trainers, all hell breaks loose. Obviously I can’t speak for every single individual school so some may not be like this, but I keep hearing about these issues. Are they real? If so, what is the cause? And what can be done to fix it?
I mean, what channels do you watch, what papers do you read, what podcasts/radio do you listen to?
Podcasts/radio, none. I read the news (BBC, guardian, itv, etc.) plus government guidance documents.
Edit: oh and scientific journals/articles
Guardian’s pretty much the only criticism of the United States I read, and I live there. I imagine they’re pretty good in their home country.
I don’t know much about the beebs or itv, though.
How do the scientific journals find their way into the mix? Do you seek them out per-subject-area or do you just read them as they come along?
If you’d like to share, there’s a good lemmy’s for that: wildfeed and goodreads (or longreads?)…
Well, ‘scientific’ journals in the loosest sense — mainly papers published by academics on these topics I should’ve said instead.
