CCTV and bodycams for teachers in every classroom during all lessons. It’s the only solution we have IMHO. So everyone can see with their own eyes how much patience, support and professionalism 99.9% of teachers demonstrate and what they have to face on a daily basis. It’s much harder to distort and the presentation of every child as angelic and teachers as cruel monsters can finally be put to bed.

All the Athena policies I could find referenced in the Panorama report: 3-2-1 focus ‘repeated by teachers’ Eyes on me/face the teacher whilst they are speaking No toilet breaks first 15/last 15 of lessons First warning, second warning removal 2 lessons+break reflection room Some silent work in most lessons Using a ruler to read line by line as a class “Pens down” Strict uniform policy What makes this school ‘authoritarian’ ‘cruel’ and ‘dystopian’?
