If Brexit is the total disaster it currently threatens to be, the one silver lining is that it might destroy forever the credibility and power of the charlatans who promoted it.

Mixed ability THE way to go. Results go up. Research always trashes setting. Experience and research says the same. Setting too often convenient for everyone else except the learners.

So inspiring to discuss a new GCSE in Natural History. How can we be losing over half of our farmland birds without even noticing? This would be a brilliant way of addressing ‘nature deficit disorder’ & reconnecting young people to the natural world. Please RT if you agree!
It was an honour to meet @CarolineLucas today to talk about the possibility of a GCSE in Natural History. Re-engage young people with the natural world and teach them to name, record and monitor nature as well as learn about the history and culture of nature in society.
