Teachers are expected to follow Nolan principles

We are also expected to teach "British values" like the rule of law

DfE is always banging on about discipline

How you going to square this circle @nadhimzahawi?

"Political impartiality"
Education not indoctrination @nadhimzahawi lectured us about

Accuses us of playing politics, so what do we tell students when they ask about Johnson breaking the ministerial code and getting away with it?

Or does the new political impartiality guidelines means that we can't even discuss this with our students?
I guess we have been told to teach facts not ideology so that's what we will stick to

Johnson broke the law
He told parliament he didn't
The Ministerial code says this is a resigning issue
@nadhimzahawi doesn't believe the ministerial code should apply

🧵Musings on Rwanda, Partygate, Living with Covid and the next General Election

This lot have got nothing left but lies and culture wars, they have no morals, no integrity, and a win at all costs mentality, if it requires burning down all around them, they'll rule the ashes Image
2/ Rwanda:
The policy is an expensive trial, initially it seems they plan on only sending 100 people a year there
The timing is to distract from Partygates, but this is not a dead cat

It's an election strategy
3/ While ppl were worried about entryism in Labour, UKIP/Brexit Party were infiltrating Tory constituencies

Brexit Party didn't have members, they had paid up supporters, this allowed ppl to be Tory members and Brexit Party supporters at the same time

🧵A rough timeline of Gaslighting on Children and Schools
April 2020 - April 2022

Triggered by this exchange between Deepti and Shamez

UK policy, SAGE,JCVI etc had generally relied on their own studies and data, international work rarely referenced in meeting minutes
2/ Initially some gov advisors claimed shutting schools could be detrimental as schools helped build up herd immunity

Then Lockdown came and the narrative became children less likely to be infected, less likely to transmit when infected
3/ This comes from a study by Russel Viner, then President of @RCPCHtweets

He selected studies, many not on covid and concluded children would have little impact on transmission, partially because of the thinking most ppl would get infected anyway

🧵Even the language the government is using is straight out of the GBD play book, well they've got everything they wanted now, when we see the full consequences remember who is responsible

It's why GBD are busy trying to rewrite history
2/ We have an attempt to declare that lockdowns and all measures don't work, this is about absolving the pro infection crowd of all responsibility
"This was inevitable, nothing could have stopped these deaths and damage to health"

Using UK APPG to do this
3/ They go beyond this, to trying to shift blame.

Tucker of AIER/Brownstone supported by GBD and others calling for vengeance

This is incitement to violence, they know the target market for this message

#r4today "Cases appear to be peaking in children"

Herd immunity? Or is it that some areas have already started Easter holidays and lots of schools have gone to partial closures due to lack of staff?
#edutwitter
Yesterday we had "more children back in school" claiming there was less covid absence, only problem with that is that absence increased, just illness logged as covid went down, due to sick kids being off but not tested
As you can see in this joint letter from the school leaders unions

Short🧵
2020
Summer they promised Test and Trace as a way of removing measures and then test and trace didn't work

Autumn they promised schools a containment framework and then didn't implement it when needed
2021 they promised data not dates, then ignored the data on Delta and removed measures

This is what they do, they give false assurances to get what they want and then renage on them straight away

We see it on funding, on taxes, on organisational changes to institutions
The "we have anti virals now so no need for any measures" was GBD sophistry, production is limited and will take a while to scale up so making policy decisions that considerably increase demand of a bottlenecked supply wasnt going to work well
