The personal journeys we’ve had with discipline, behaviour, punishment, strictness and education form how we approach them as educators, schools and education systems. If we are in positions of power – and when we work with young people we are – the effects of our actions can be vast. It is our responsibility to reflect an examine the practice we use in our schools and classrooms; are we using approaches that work? For whom? Where have they come from? What are their positive and negative effects?

In this week’s vlog , I reflect on and share my own story and invite you to do so too – we’d love to hear from you in the comments.
