Indeed, which is why i also suggested if kids don't do homework we look at why and try and help, make sure there are homework / study clubs in schools for example. There is also restorative justice.
Regardless of what type of discipline is handed out, each case needs to be judged on own merit but the punisment needs to be equal and proportionate to the offense. There are perhaps a few mitigating circumstances but generally it has to be fair.
So if a child forgets homework or fails to do homework they should be punished the circumstances that mitigate that could be the death of a family member, for example in whichc ase they can be given more time. Staying in to do homework on the school computers, when there isn't a working computer at home is counter productive, make the school systems more available to those in need, once systems reach end of life, install a free software operating system and make these available to the disadvantaged kids.

Portland Public Schools says unequal student discipline is call to action
"PPS data show Black students are disciplined at more than thrice the rate of white students. Native students are given referrals, suspension or expulsion two and a half times more often. Students with disabilities, including those who may have high levels of emotional dysregulation, face twice the number of disciplinary actions as their non-disabled peers."

"What’s most troubling about our data is that we know from research that there are strong links between school discipline, likelihood of dropping out and eventual arrest and possible incarceration … I believe these data are an urgent call for change in action and we are working hard to make a difference."

My friend is at an American football game with his German exchange student pals, who are Bavarian. The opposite team is called CSU, meaning the crowd chants "FUCK CSU! FUCK CSU! FUCK CSU!" all the time. To the Germans, this was a dream - the CSU is Bavaria's Christian right-wing party. So they gleefully joined in with the chanting, and sent videos of it back home with the caption "even the Americans hate CSU". Heartwarming moment.

So what can staff in school do to help counter his narrative. I know schools are trying to talk to young people about Andrew Tate, but any ideas welcome.

Some friends and I were discussing why we do free software even though it often means doing tons of work for little or no money.
I think for me some major factors are the personal agency you have over the work (independent from employers/investors) and the potential for longevity that comes with having your work be part of the commons (projects can't be acquired and killed).
That kind of unalienated relationship to your creative output is very rare outside of maybe fine arts or entertainment.

Internet prick, borderline noncery
This idiot needs to be stopped, he has a huge influence on teen boys, so they will see his behaviour and copy, if he gets away with it, they will know they can copy and get away with it too.
What I would like to know is what the hell are these platform moderators doing tp allow him to fester for so long with this, oh yea nothing as he generates huge profits.

I am just trying to reduce them, printer notifications are useful sometimes.
Desktop notifications are a pain too, esp when you are trying to make a sceen cast video and they appear part way through.

Another interesting point here is they are trying to find out who sent the messages Andrew Tate, his brother or someone working on their behalf. The issue here is surely if it is HIS account he is responsible for what is posted. If you leave your computer unlocked, someone then uses it to send an abusive message to the boss, then surely it is YOU who has sent it for all intent and purposes, it is up to you to prove otherwise.
If nothing else you are in breach of company IT policy by failing to lock the device if away from it.

RT @NNUBonnie@twitter.com
When the bosses say there's a "labor shortage," it is a lie.
The truth, as @RBReich@twitter.com outlines, is this: We face a shortage of good, permanent jobs where workers are fully valued for their work with strong union protections, and safe and healthy workplaces!

In a world ruled Big Entertainment and #BigTech, giving artists more #copyright is like giving bullied kids more lunch money - no matter how much lunch money you hand out, the kids are still going hungry. We have to neutralize the bully:
