My point is exactly the opposite- I want them to go somwhere their needs CAN be met, not just passed around from one inappropriate venue to the next. If you read my posts, you'll see it's a theme I return often to.Tom Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211959016018081924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019828684971971203.post-57786605207425150582011-12-20T17:45:56.388+00:002011-12-20T17:45:56.388+00:00I've really enjoyed your blog over the last fe...I've really enjoyed your blog over the last few months, even though I don't agree with some of what you say. I really didn't like the dog turd comment. Sounds like you're saying that children and young people who need skilled care and education are basically shite. Perhaps this isn't what you meant? <br /><br />Yours faithfully,<br /><br />KLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019828684971971203.post-49205266508178893182011-12-20T09:59:11.327+00:002011-12-20T09:59:11.327+00:00Brilliant and very true.

I've just set one up, you might like my 'leaving teaching' post. <br /><br />As I commented on someone else's blog yesterday, I have so much anger and frustration against Gove but I can't start to think about it until I get over the fact that he has the most punchable face I have ever seen on another human being. <br /><br />The exam board thing last week was hilarious. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more.<br /><br />Steve<br /><br />www.Stephendcook.blogspot.comStevehttp://www.stephendcook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019828684971971203.post-43992338596015732192011-12-13T17:04:57.234+00:002011-12-13T17:04:57.234+00:00Tom & Andrew,

I don't swear in my classes, because I don't want THEM to, but there's a time and a place for trash talk, and my blog is a space for my thoughts, some of which are sweary.

And I enjoyed your recent post on the Bible but I'm going to have to go all Old Fogey on you and remind you that you just can't seriously expect to a) command children's respect and b) manage their inappropriate behaviour, if you yourself fall back on four letter humour as a failsafe.Joehttp://joenutt.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.com
