Private vs state schools: which sector hasmore to teach whom? Should there be more
collaboration between the two sectors?
21:00:02 @ukedchat
Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @Debsgf Private vsstate schools: which has more to teach whom? Shouldthere be more collaboration?
20:59:59 @DebsgfPlease remember to use the hashtag #UKedchat and
not the actual Twitter handle @ukedchat ta! Lets chat!
20:59:54 @danielharvey9
@Debsgf @GreenHamstring this all depends onspecifics. Tbh I've done some collaboration with aprivate school #UKedchat 1/2
20:59:39 @Jon_Torbitt
.@Debsgf I moved from a state to an indie school.Different and similar at same time. Regularly offer tocollaborate with st schls #ukedchat
20:59:01 @Educationchat
#ukedchat It's just wrong that money can determinewhich school you go to and what opportunities you are
therefore given.
20:58:53 @danielharvey9
@Debsgf @GreenHamstring and teachers very muchlike state school ones I would with. As I said depends oncontext and specific pro #UKedchat
20:58:36 @mrjonesICT
HELP! Moodle or Edmodo or Schoology? Which do youuse and why? Please RT! Thank you :) #edtech#ukedchat #edchat #ipaded
20:58:33 @EducationchatIn my opinion all private schools should be shut downand let's have true equality in this country. #ukedchat
20:58:24 @jillberry102#ukedchat So many teachers like me teach across bothsectors in their professional lives. It makes sense for thesectors to work together.
20:58:14 @Debsgf
@Jon_Torbitt what did you find were the biggestdifferences and are the two sectors really that different?#UKedchat
20:58:06 @Gwenelope
@Debsgf @ukedchat Well, apart from my recent visit toWellington College, I have not been to an Independentschool, am clueless! #UKedchat
20:57:58 @mrmortonkba Each sector tends to keep the other at arms length andhard to compare with different qualifications. Few reallyknow #ukedchat
20:57:48 @jillberry102#ukedchat And there is so much expertise in bothsectors - each has a great deal to learn from the other.
20:57:45 @DebsgfIs teaching and learning as dynamic in the privatesector? Does it have to be? #ukedchat
20:57:36 @GreenHamstring
#ukedchat - Currently planning a paired teachingprogramme with a private school. They will come andobserve and then we will team teach.
20:57:21 @Jon_Torbitt .@Educationchat why most/all pct schools offer

scholarships and bursaries as registered charities.Grandparents often contribute #ukedchat
20:57:07 @Educationchat
#ukedchat This gov'nt is banging on about closing thegap between rich & poor in schools. Abolishing paid
education is a great way to start.
20:56:55 @Debsgf@Jon_Torbitt were the days longer? Also facilities toomust have been of a better quality #UKedchat
20:56:37 @Educationchat
#ukedchat But living in the real world, there should bemore collaboration - let state educated children useprivate facilities.
20:56:16 @Debsgf@Gwenelope do you think the environment makes itmore beneficial for learning? #UKedchat
20:55:57 @Jon_Torbitt
.@mrjonesICT None of the above - Sharepoint 2013
does it all if you're willing to get it running. Is free withEDU licence! #ukedchat
20:55:55 @Jamesbayston
RT @Jamesbayston: @Educationchat if you closedindependent school who would pay for the additionalschool places required? #ukedchat
20:55:45 @fod3
#ukedchat I work at Wellington Academy and we arelinked with Wellington College...lots of links in place.Can't wait to establish my link.
20:55:33 @SENConsultancy#ukedchat If I wasn't sent to a private school I wouldn't
of made it uni & become a teacher
20:55:27 @danielharvey9
@Debsgf @GreenHamstring but hard for teachers toknow about what's great about a private school andtherefore what 2 collaborate #UKedchat
20:55:24 @Educationchat#ukedchat I went to state schools and met children of allcultures and religions - but very few 'rich kids'.
20:55:16 @Debsgf@SalopSkyBlue what's your experience, have youworked in both sectors? #UKedchat
20:55:01 @lefouquemuch ado about #nothing http://youtu.be/1OLz6uUuMp8

20:55 @Gwenelope
#ukedchat Wouid someone state educated, non 'ivyleague' Uni, be able to get a job in an indie school?#curious
20:54:56 @mrmortonkba
Ideologically I resent the idea that you can pay a fee tohave better teachers and education. Not exclusively trueeither #ukedchat
20:54:50 @GreenHamstring
@Debsgf #ukedchat - The English Department we arehoping to work with admits to being pretty didactic intheir approach.

@danielharvey9 @GreenHamstring do you think that amore open door policy would help this though?#UKedchat
20:54:31 @Educationchat@mrlockyer Teachers can teach in state schools andchildren can go to state schools. Mix them all up!#ukedchat

20:53:51 @ShaunRenton
@SENConsultancy do you feel state school wouldn'thave given you opp. To go to uni? Almost all teachersI've met went state #ukedchat
20:53:39 @Debsgf @ieshasmall why do you think this is so? #UKedchat
20:53:39 @Dandan7171
I would be interested to see how far primary children

20:53:18 @SENConsultancy
@Educationchat Many private schools don't have greatfacilities. You're paying for the smaller classes.#ukedchat

20:52:43 @jillberry102
@Gwenelope #ukedchat I went to a bog standard comp& taught in 4 state schools. Became an ind school head& appointed some excellent staff..

20:52 @Jon_Torbitt.@Educationchat @mrlockyer some of us alreadytaught in state schools that are more exclusive thansome independents! #ukedchat #houseprices
20:51:36 @PaulDSharpe
Are there 3 different comparisons to be made when itcomes to state schools, academies and privateschools? Or state/acc as one? #ukedchat
20:51:35 @jillberry102@Gwenelope #ukedchat ...from just this kind ofbackground.
20:51:14 @Dandan7171
Govt ought to consider some disadvantaged pupils into
private boarding school, in some cases it would savesociety a fortune! #ukedchat
20:51:10 @theICTadvisor@Educationchat what's your definition of 'rich kids'? Doyou not believe that every child matter? #ukedchat
20:51:09 @DebsgfDoes your school link across sectors? Is it successful?#ukedchat

work with @CompAtSch to improve subject specialismacross ALL schools in area #ukedchat
20:50:46 @Debsgf@GreenHamstring did you find a lot of common groundthen? Sounds very interesting! #UKedchat
20:50:38 @jillberry102
@Educationchat #ukedchat So many pupils in indschools aren't from rich families - one of the mostcommon misconceptions about the sector.
20:50:37 @developingTandLWho knows what YBWATO stands for? #ukedchat#edchat
20:50:15 @Debsgf @Jon_Torbitt @CompAtSch sounds interesting? Is thisa new enterprise? #UKedchat

20:45:47 @jillberry102
@Debsgf Some is and some isn't! Both ind and stateschools in my experience have the full range of teaching
expertise/talent. #ukedchat
20:45:19 @JamesJMatthewsWhat if the cure for cancer is trapped inside the brain ofsomeone who can't afford an education? #UKedchat
20:44:59 @PaulDSharpe
@Debsgf I think, as someone mentioned before, bothkeep themselves at arms length for reasons unknown.#ukedchat
20:44:58 @Debsgf
@taralatkinson leads an an amazing Classics dept in astate school. Should subjects like that be studied instate schools? #ukedchat
20:44:55 @HeyMissSmithI find it insulting that schools with enormous resources/facilities & a very low pupil/ teacher ratio are held up asa model #ukedchat
20:44:35 @jillberry102
@mrmortonkba #ukedchat That may have been thecase a few years ago but there is a huge amount ofpartnership/collaboration happening now.
20:44:19 @JJ_brumAny teachers out there? hit on #UKedchat and debatewith my great pal @Debsgf
20:44:05 @Gwenelope
@cherrylkd @Debsgf @ukedchat But I'd love to know
more. I think they're all like Hogwarts. #indieschools#ukedchat
20:43:53 @Debsgf@Jon_Torbitt @ieshasmall but surely parental supportmust be a factor too? #UKedchat
20:43:50 @ThompRichard
@Debsgf I worry that schools are being encouraged tocompete, which discourages cross-sector (even cross-school?) collaboration. #ukedchat
20:43:48 @HeyMissSmithWhat are we supposed to learn? Lots of money resultsin high standards? #thinkIknewthat #UKedchat
20:43:48 @Jon_Torbitt .@Debsgf simple answer - entrenched beliefs, lack ofexposure and lack of willingness to explore othersectors #ukedchat ignorance not bliss
20:43:36 @SENConsultancy@cherrylkd Most did. I've not met many privatelyeducated teachers in the state sector #ukedchat
20:43:20 @mrlockyer
@Gwenelope Not all like Hogwarts, just as all stateschools are like Grange Hill! #fartooyoungtoremember#ukedchat
20:43:01 @Coding2Learn
@ThompRichard @Debsgf This worries me also. OpenEducation fails when schools are competing - State orPrivate. #ukedchat

20:42:46 @ThompRichard@HoDTeacher that is increasingly true in public sectortoo though, I feel. #ukedchat
20:42:46 @cherrylkd
@HeyMissSmith Schools I hold in high esteem are onesin disadvantaged areas who turn ch around & close gap.
Give them a future. #UKedchat
20:42:41 @Debsgf
@Jon_Torbitt very interesting point. It seems that onceyou stick to a sector that's the one you stay in.#ukedchat
20:42:25 @Jon_Torbitt
.@JamesJMatthews then their teacher regardless ofwhere they are is supposed to HELP unlock it. Thestudent must want to learn #ukedchat
20:42:18 @jillberry102
@ThompRichard @Debsgf #ukedchat But ind schoolsare in competition with each other & still co-
operate/collaborate. Emphasis on partnership.20:42:05 @Jon_Torbitt

@JamesJMatthews @jillberry102 @danielharvey9@GreenHamstring it's surprised me little actualcollaboration there appears to be. #UKedchat
20:41:58 @sarah_extence
#ukedchat private ed tends to come with a network ofcontacts that support pupils in acquiringwork/experience in desired field.
20:41:29 @Jon_Torbitt .@Debsgf @ieshasmall if a parent wants to get involvedthey will. The school is largely irrelevant #ukedchat
20:41:16 @CaldiesEnglish
Think we need to start at the end. Why are so many topjobs given to private school candidates? Can we learnanything from them? #UKedchat
20:41:14 @cherrylkd
@Jon_Torbitt @Gwenelope @Debsgf I'm not criticisingat all. I agree many work Saturdays too. #UKedchat Allschools hard in different ways
20:41:13 @Debsgf
Do you think there should be a forced or a paired up
mentality between state and private schools. In order tobreak down barriers? #UKedchat
20:40:59 @jillberry102
@HeyMissSmith #ukedchat I don't think they should beheld up as a model either, but not all do have enormousresources/facilities.
20:40:42 @Gwenelope@mrlockyer I know neither is 'true' but that illustrates mylack of knowledge about them beautifully! #ukedchat
20:40:35 @Jon_Torbitt

20:40:17 @ThompRichard
@jillberry102 @debsgf fair point, but the need for acompetitive edge must have at least some impact on
willingness to collaborate #ukedchat
20:40:11 @Debsgf
I know that private schools have staff working on aSaturday, does this work? Would this work in stateschools? #UKedchat
20:39:55 @jillberry102
@HoDTeacher #ukedchat Not sure I'd agree, John. Thefundamental difference is that the vast majority ofparents are engaged/on-side.
20:39:49 @HoDTeacher Very hard to move from Ind to State #ukedchat
20:39:41 @CaldiesEnglish@HeyMissSmith Is it that simple? Surely 'high

@debsgf #ukedchat *Should*? State school pupils haveas much right to access Classics as private. They enjoy& achieve as much, too.
20:38:59 @teechit
#ukedchat we do a bit of work with local private school.Nice folk, but it's a world away from our school, which is
pretty 'leafy lane'.

@MissBex_M #ukedchat Absolutely. Thepressures/demands are different - neither is a piece ofcake. But generally most pupils want to learn.

@Debsgf: This is a fascinating discussion! So littleactual collaboration between sectors. Is this class?Prejudice? Media? #UKedchattime?
20:12:26 @HoDTeacher
"@jillberry102: #ukedchat I wouldn't say the bestteachers are/stay in the ind sector, Sarah. There arefantastic teachers in both." Agreed
20:12:19 @Jon_Torbitt @teechit More than most believe. Not at liberty todiscuss specifics sorry. Indpts are charities. Mostneglect to notice that #ukedchat

20:12:06 @jackieschneiderWhy do parents pay to send their children to a privateschool? #ukedchat

Private vs state schools: which sector hasmore to teach whom? Should there be more
collaboration between the two sectors?
think that says it all. #UKedchat
20:11:51 @HoDTeacher
"@jillberry102: #ukedchat And there are needy pupils inind schools too. Full range of social/emotional issues." Vmuch so, pastoral is key
20:11:48 @DrJessicaHamer There could be more collaboration, but what be the gainfor Ind schools? CPD collaboration? #UKedchat
20:11:45 @YuviLite
I moved due to becoming a new parent and the statesector couldn't give me an increase to provide for mychild #UKedchat
20:11:43 @Jon_Torbitt
@WhatLeighSays then help inform some misguidedthinking - not everyone at a state school can't afford togo private! #ukedchat
20:11:24 @SalopSkyBlue
#UKedchat Whilst on my main TP, I was appointed to
my first job at a private school. Some of the teachers onTP refused to speak to me.
20:10:56 @mikallaane
@WhatLeighSays Why do you want to go into teaching?#UKedchat Which area primary or secondary? & whichsector? State or private?
20:10:45 @Code_ED
nice to see #UKedchat trending so highly today. If itwasn't for some snake enabled phone with a boxbrownie on the back it'd be number 1!!
20:10:37 @Jon_Torbitt
.@jackieschneider @senconsultancy more than you
would think are. Individual needs are not just for stateschools #ukedchat
20:10:32 @jillberry102
#ukedchat I'm heartened that several people in thedebate have admitted to not knowing enough about theother sector - both sides 1/2
20:10:28 @Jon_Torbitt
@jackieschneider: Has anyone mentioned charitystatus for private schools? #ukedchat yes - we are acharity, as most are
20:10:19 @Gwenelope@YuviLite Really?? Thought the 'sell out' thing would be
more from state to indie. Who knew? #ukedchat
20:10:12 @Debsgf
Last ten minutes people. Really surprised at howpolarised we are in private or state sectors. How do wemove forward together? #UKedchat
20:10:01 @SalopSkyBlue
@jackieschneider #UKedchat I know. You'd think asthey'd paid their taxes they'd want to benefit from stateeducation like others do.

20:09:21 @jackieschneiderI don't think private schools deserve charity status.#ukedchat
20:09:20 @Jon_Torbitt.@SalopSkyBlue @debsgf ISI inspection is also arigorous inspection process! #ukedchat
20:09:17 @DebsgfPrivate or state: both sectors inspire and educate. How
can we collaborate? How can we link? #UKedchat

@jackieschneider I think in Bristol it is because theydon't perceive the state schools as nice enough. #rough#ukedchat
20:09:08 @Coding2Learn
@jackieschneider I'd have to agree to this one. I don'tthink Academies should enjoy charitable status either.#ukedchat

20:08:48 @blondebonce @Debsgf I think these are important differences +supportive parents. #UKedchat
20:08:35 @DrJessicaHamer
@Debsgf on the other hand there is greater expectationthat teachers will run after school clubs/sports etc in indschools #ukedchat

@Debsgf #UKedchat I went to a A Level subjectmeeting on Monday with teachers from both sectors.This should be encouraged.

@jackieschneider @HeyMissSmith #ukedchat I think Ifelt the same (& about private health too) - until I'dtaught in both sectors.

#ukedchat It's not about school collaborating, it's aboutteacher doing it. @CompAtSch is a prime example. Allsectors included.

20:06:09 @ukedchat Just 5 minutes of #ukedchat remain. Final thoughts?
20:06:07 @SalopSkyBlue#UKedchat The thing is with private education is thatmostly the children have no choice. As a teacher, it's thechildren I care about.
20:05:56 @HoDTeacher
@Jon_Torbitt @Debsgf Well said, the kids don't makethe decision, they all need to be taught and looked after#ukedchat
20:05:45 @jackieschneiderI'd love to use the fantastic lavish facilities that privateschools have for my class. Any offers? #ukedchat
20:05:27 @Gwenelope @Debsgf @danielharvey9 No harm in trying..#ukedchat

20:04:50 @Gwenelope @JamesJMatthews @Debsgf Can't hurt can it?#ukedchat
20:04:22 @Debsgf
So teach meets, cross CPD training,pupils mixing, crosssector planning. Can this make the difference? Or is ittoo deep rooted? #UKedchat
