I Love Dean But I'mma Be Honest Cas Finally Sticking His Finger In Dean’s Face And Telling Him What’s

Actual footage of Jack standing guard:

I think there are schools where what might be called a “behaviour problem” exists.

In said schools, I don’t think banning mobile phones would have an impact because a) phones aren’t the issue and b) it won’t be enforceable anyway.

We live in a world where kids will have constant access to mobile phones, and we ought to be teaching them how to use phones safely and responsibly- banning them doesn’t help.

Meanwhile, what schools with behaviour issues need is:

-Funding for interventions with kids who struggle in a classroom/school environment for whatever reason.

-Funding to attract and retain experienced staff.

-Resources in the wider community (e.g. youth workers) to deal with things like drug problems that spill over into school.

-Funding for decent alternative provision for kids who can’t cope in a mainstream school environment.

-A broader curriculum with more vocational opportunities for kids who don’t thrive in traditional academic subjects.

But also, there needs to be an acknowledgement that every single kid has been through a traumatic experience in the last year, and when you are eleven or fourteen, a year is a much higher proportion of you life than when you are thirty or forty.

And the expectation that kids will just seamlessly slot into their old routines and everything will be fine is ridiculous.

uk folks, there are active government petitions to introduce sanctions against israel and formally recognise the state of palestine

with enough support and coverage, this could really make a difference, so please sign and share if you’re a uk resident!

genuinely from the bottom of my heart i wish every single one of you peace love joy and happiness for not only 2022 but for the rest of your lives.

Extremely frustrating as Palestinians watching the world stand in solidarity with The Ukraine and suddenly knowing how to use the word occupation.

dropping this here

and this one too. they let refugees fleeing a different war freeze to death in the middle of winter while the world turned a blind eye at the frozen corpses of children who were denied asylum and died because of it. this was happening as of two months ago as well, it’s not old news

i stand with ukraine, obviously.

i also stand with those who are calling out the blatant hypocrisy in how others in the same situation were treated, as well as those who are rightfully upset in the world’s support of and reaction to of one group of people but not others who have faced the same and much worse.

and before anyone jumps on this with ‘omg not appropriate right now’ or ‘stop comparing the two’, it’s entirely possible to stand with ukraine and the russians who are protesting the russian govt, while at the same time acknowledging that the world’s eurocentric response to this situation is extremely different to the response it gives other countries in places the western world declares are “backward”, and “uncivilized”

When I heard, “On your left.”

IM SOBBING
