There seem to be legitimate concerns about how the quiet, orderly classrooms are achieved though. The X conversation does not seem to take the negative costs of very strict discipline and effects on children who are temperamentally more anxious, quiet, introverted, special needs or not. While I certainly don't take every story I read at face value, I do believe there are many very valid concerns which are not acknowledged or understood. And I am going to make a distinction between X and the reality of the classroom.
There are ways that these topics could be discussed on X while still acknowledging the reality/grave challenges of the classroom. Sensible parents can do that, but they do expect to be heard and understood by professionals. I don't believe that cloud of smoke connected to certain English schools will disappear, quite the contrary, but I do believe there are better, more professional ways to have the X conversation, to shape the discussion. to understand valid concerns of parents. "its not us.... it's those parents, journalists, progressives" is major red flag in 2024.
