I feel similar about booklets that are too prescriptive and people haven't been involved in the design. I'm happy for some admin tasks and some of the bigger thinking to sit away from class teachers but they need to know the why and have space to explore etc. Of course creating resources is thinking

This is why we have strong, simple, centralised behaviour systems in Astrea secondaries, allowing teachers to teach, free from disruption and abuse, with no bureaucracy or blame.
✅SLT have staff's backs
✅centralised detentions run by SLT/HoY
✅teachers don't need to make phone calls home.
