Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesโ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world." Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

PS Harding is also very good on the power and importance of silence, and using it to allow people (teenagers especially) the chance to reflect and think. I think schools could be better at this - from both pupils' and adults' perspectives - rather than filling all available time with talk.

If, like me, you sit in the overlap between 'Teacher' and 'True Crime Reader', I'd certainly recommend it.

Solutions, and dealing with that in the moment are much trickier of course! Harding is a strong advocate for clear and compassionate boundaries, and again I found myself agreeing with him. They are definitely part of any solution, and context dependent.

It made me think of some of the trickier pupils at my school, ones who often come from chaotic and/or boundary-less homes. If they feel out of control there, but can't do anything about it, that might explain why they choose to act up at school. An attempt to wrestle control back from the teacher.

Thankfully, I've never had to deal with anything like the violence Harding describes - touch wood. But when he wrote 'So many of the antisocial behaviours of young people are about control', a little bell rang in my head.
