Britain's strictest headmistress, Katharine Birbalsingh CBE (@Miss_Snuffy), tells @LeeAlanHall that it's time to ditch progressive teaching and go back to basics: firm discipline, structure, respect for authority, and clear rules.
She says her school Michaela is real-world evidence that a strict, no-nonsense approach delivers outstanding results even in deprived areas.
Katharine calls for a full ban on social media for kids, as well as a strict limiting of electronic device access for children, due to the damaging impact.
Finally, she emphasises that real courage is required from educators and leaders to embrace these proven traditional methods and truly help Britain's children.
