Today, it is never more clear that the English education system is being systematically deconstructed by an ideologically driven govt. The way to create equity and opportunity for our most disadv. stds is not to remove curriculum opportunity for them. That’s the road ahead.

Why do the Cambridge Physics Centre Lectures continue to be in-person events only? During Covid they were also online and I am sure they were appreciated by many, who don't live close to Cambridge. They are given in the new Ray Dolby Centre so surely technology isn't an issue?😕

20% of new car sales are through Motability which is absurd and unsustainable Sorry carmakers, but this must end

😞 A Charter for Ignorance.

It is so easy to be wrong – and to persist in being wrong – when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.” Thomas Sowell’s line could be the motto of English education. Policy-makers get plaudits; teachers get the blame; children pay the bill. Link below

Labour: doing what they always do.

As we await the Curriculum and Assessment Review, one thing is certain: it will likely seek to undo the progress achieved over the past decade. We can expect to hear all the familiar buzzwords drawn from the progressive playbook. Like many of the initiatives and policy

Another big day for Nick, 30 ans. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but who you can pay for in your country to do nothing at all.”

Thought this was really interesting from WWF. Can’t remember a charity using a message that things are getting better, thanks to your efforts, vs it’s all going to hell.

I am using these memes to hold onto my sanity #calculus

Such a bizarre article. She's talking about her taxpayer-subsidised BMW here btw.

School culture is taught, not caught. At Longdendale we intentionally model and explicitly teach our core values of respect, resilience and aspiration. Our operation reset at the beginning of each half term is an important landmark during the academy year to remind students of

Once again I find myself frustrated by ridiculous education proposals. Now it's "GCSE triple science for all" from @bphillipsonMP. How many physics teachers will we need? And how many have been recruited in the last 3 years? Absolute nonsense once again...

Physics teachers. Have a read of this piece about neutrinos. Simply and eloquently explained, by a master of explanations 🙂 This was a GCSE book #chatphysics #iteachphysics

Imagine losing first authorship because you got hit by a blue shell on the last lap 💀

If you can overcome your anxiety enough to speak on actual television then you can do a really large number of jobs jesus christ

Using a proprietary ‘Zoom and ENHANCE’ feature for blurry plates built into the yet-to-be-released V6.0 update of the Motability Checker, I can confirm that this car is, in fact, unsurprisingly, a Motability. More recklessness underwritten by the taxpayer.

Great thread about why isolation booths are necessary in schools👇 It is a no brainer for me. Isolation booths reduce permanent and temporary exclusions AND they ensure the teacher can teach and the kids can learn. What on earth is the problem?

It's not so much teachers; it's more crusading armchair amateurs, academics, near-journalists, and basically anyone who has never been near, let alone led, let alone led *successfully*, a challenging classroom. I also notice lots of people who themselves had near-idyllic

Every child deserves a classroom that is safe, calm and dignified, where they can learn. The point of removing a student who is abusive or disrupting a lesson is two-fold: 1. That student is demonstrating that they’re unwilling or unable to help create that environment, so they
