We can't be surprised teachers have voted to strike (again);

the pervasive problems of pay failing to keep up with inflation, skewed work-life balance & issues of curriculum management set in a context of budgetary constraints that are proving fatal to their educative mission, has produced a workforce that is fed up, increasingly militant & feels itself to be under-attack from the political class.

Teachers need better lives, so they can help their pupils into better lives!

Before the genocide, the education sector in Gaza was thriving. Despite the occupation and blockade, Gaza had one of the highest literacy rates in the world, reaching 97 percent. The enrolment rate in secondary education was 90 percent, and the enrolment in higher education was 45 percent.

Textbooks were distributed for free, and families received support to buy bags, notebooks, pens, and school uniforms.

Online influencer extremists are brainwashing so many children:

“I have had boys refuse to speak to me, and speak to a male teaching assistant instead, because I am a woman and they follow Andrew Tate and think he is amazing with all his cars and women and how women should be treated. These were 10-year-olds.”

Where are the parents???

Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, the NASUWT poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK found.'

"A rise in misogyny and racism is flooding UK schools as pupils ape the behaviour of figures such as Donald Trump and Andrew Tate after exposure through social media and online gaming, teachers have warned.

A survey by the NASUWT union found most teachers identified social media as 'the number one cause' of pupil misbehaviour, with female staff bearing the brunt."

#Schools use #AI to monitor #kids, hoping to prevent violence. Our investigation found security risks
The surveillance software scans school-issued devices 24/7 for signs of bullying, self-harm, or violence, alerting staff when potential issues are detected. Approximately 1,500 school districts nationwide use Gaggle's technology to track six million students. Documents revealed LGBTQ+ students were potentially outed to administrators through the monitoring.
