Ironically, headteacher Alun learnt nothing by having me on TTR with him just a few days before his platforming by the BBC.
You can't teach resilience by increasing vulnerability.

Alistair and I react to a headteacher's comment on Teacher's Talk Radio saying we coped in 1976, so we should just get on with it. But anecdote is not risk assessment, nor is it a safeguarding standard.

HEATWAVE: Hundreds of schools to shut or move online as red warning peaks
Hundreds of schools across the Swansea Bay area are closed or moving lessons online on Wednesday and Thursday as Wales faces record-breaking heat.
A Met Office red extreme heat warning is in force for both days, covering Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire, with temperatures forecast to reach 36C.
The warning carries a high risk to life, and schools say extreme classroom temperatures, poor ventilation and a lack of shade make it unsafe to teach as normal.
The picture has escalated through the day, and Thursday now looks set to bring near-total closures across the region, with the vast majority of schools shut or only partly open.
Each of the three councils has taken a slightly different approach, so parents are urged to check their own school’s status before setting off.
The lists below are correct as of around 4.30pm on Wednesday 24 June.

The disruption follows the same red warning behind a plea to check on older neighbours and relatives across Wales.
It is also the warning behind a bus firm’s tongue-in-cheek explanation of why services have felt so hot this week.
With closures still being confirmed through the day, some schools may be added or change their plans after publication. The heat is expected to peak on Wednesday and Thursday before easing towards the weekend.

RURAL SCHOOLS UNDER THREAT: Carmarthenshire communities face ‘piecemeal closures’ as Council defends tough decisions
The future of education in Carmarthenshire’s villages is hanging in the balance, with parents and residents expressing deep concern over the council’s strategy for its smaller schools.
The latest flashpoint is the closure of Ysgol Llansteffan, a decision made by Carmarthenshire County Council at its meeting on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The school is set to close its doors on August 31, 2026, with pupils transferring to Ysgol Llangain.
This move has been met with significant local opposition from parents and campaigners who have fought to save the school, which has now seen a statutory closure notice issued by the local authority.
Carmarthenshire County Council has defended its decision, stating that Ysgol Llansteffan was identified for discontinuation based on criteria within its Modernising Education Programme. The council cited factors such as “extremely low pupil numbers,” “high surplus places,” and a “high number of pupils living within catchment attending other schools” as key reasons for the closure.
Furthermore, the council highlighted that pupil projections suggest there is little likelihood of numbers increasing dramatically over the next few years and pointed to a projected deficit budget at the end of this financial year for Ysgol Llansteffan.
Cllr Glynog Davies, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, expressed the difficulty of the decision, stating: “The decision to close Ysgol Llansteffan is difficult for everyone involved and it is, with sadness, that this has been agreed.”
He added that following a robust process, the discontinuation of Ysgol Llansteffan will enable the school to combine with Ysgol Llangain to provide safer staffing, the wider sharing of Welsh language among pupils and a more sustainable rural community.
However, this decision has not appeased all parties. The Wales Greens have been vocal in their criticism, warning that dozens of rural schools could be at risk under the council’s current approach. They argue that the council is responding to demographic changes with “piecemeal closures” rather than a coherent, long-term strategy to sustain rural education.
This concern is amplified by the fact that the council has also recently concluded consultations on proposals to shut down Ysgol Y Fro and Ysgol Meidrim, sparking fears among campaigners that even more rural schools could face closure this year.
Indeed, Ysgol Llansteffan now marks the seventh school to close its doors in Carmarthenshire since 2002, a tally accumulated under successive Plaid Cymru and Welsh Labour administrations, according to the Wales Greens.
The issue of rural school closures is far from new in Carmarthenshire, with a history of contentious proposals and strong community resistance. Past plans for Mynyddygarreg School and Pontyates School have faced significant opposition, with some proposals even being put on hold due to public outcry.
Leading the charge for the Greens is Councillor Rob James, who has accused the ruling parties of failing to protect rural education. Councillor James stated: “Since being in power in Carmarthenshire, Plaid Cymru have failed to prevent the steady loss of schools in our rural communities.”
Councillor James’s background adds a unique layer to the debate. He previously served as the leader of the Labour group on Carmarthenshire Council and even stood for the party in the last Senedd election.
His recent defection to the Green Party has seen him transition from leading the official opposition to becoming the first Green county councillor in Carmarthenshire. This shift in perspective comes after years of observing the council’s long-standing policies from within the Labour group.
Councillor James further criticised the council, adding: “This week’s decision to close Ysgol Llansteffan, while continuing consultations on Ysgol Y Fro and Ysgol Meidrim, shows clearly that they do not have a long-term plan to protect rural education in our county.”
The Wales Greens are now formally calling for a comprehensive, long-term rural schools strategy for Carmarthenshire. Their focus is on actively sustaining village schools and providing robust support to communities grappling with demographic shifts, rather than what they perceive as reactive closures.
They contend that the next Welsh Government and Carmarthenshire Council must do more to protect rural schools, warning that without a clear strategy, the fabric of our rural communities will continue to be slowly eroded.
This ongoing debate underscores the tension between the council’s need to manage resources in the face of changing demographics and the deeply held community desire to preserve local educational institutions.

🧵 2/2
....the recently published "An Abundance of Caution" by David Zweig.
I have not read this book, nor am I familiar with the author's other work.
Nevertheless, I want to challenge one claim about the motivation for school closures which I think the book makes; even if I am mistaken in ascribing this claim to the book, I know from conversation that some intelligent people are now saying that keeping schools in the USA for so long during the pandemic was irrational, because that policy was motivated by a "politically tribal" opposition to any public health measure urged by Donald Trump.
I do not know how sound all the arguments were for keeping schools closed were, but I am in no doubt that it was rational to believe, in a time of public controversy and imperfect information, that any recommendation from Trump was unsound in part just because it came from Trump, a man who at the time of the pandemic was known to be dishonest, captive to the interests of capital and the rich, and, as his longstanding opposition to Obamacare demonstrated, without a shred of real concern for the health of the mass of Americans. When in a position of great uncertainty, it makes sense to incorporate judgements of the character, intelligence, history and interests of those arguing for controversial changes in public policy.
As I I have already said, I don't know whether the school closure decisions were right; I do know that the mugwumpish poopooing of "partisanship" can be its own special kind of high-minded irrationality.
