Not a bad tactic actually...

A minimum wage is meaningless, unless there is also a maximum wage.

If I ever encounter an AI robot attack dog I shall calmly ask it if it is older than the chicken.

Fantastic bit of work. Great response to *that* paper about women scientists mostly being omitted from exam specs. (Also solving my 'can you provide a house quiz from the science team?' headache)

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

Heritage is campaigning for the dismantlement of Title IX, calling its guarantee of equal rights a "failed experiment." The author of its recent report says “we live under a regime of compulsory feminism." He says women who pursue careers are "medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome."

19th Century predictions of effect of CO2. When do the oil companies that hid what they knew start to pay for fixing the damage?

Inclusion. Removing the barriers to learning but without removing challenge. And ultimately we have to be teaching pupils to overcome the barriers: whoteacheslanguages.blogspot.com/2026/09/npp-...

Examples of pupils' work from the Y7 French Art Exhibition. But are they bad for language learning? whoteacheslanguages.blogspot.com/2026/09/npp-...

Britain is broke (no there isn't an n behind his head). I thought they went around claiming Britain is broken. Britain is broke is different. Is that why they are always going begging to billionaires?

This wonderful animation by @milos_gis shows a full year of the Iberian peninsula as seen from space. Spain and Portugal change their colours less intensely than areas in central Europe where the seasons are more distinct.

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

We can use features of "it's a test" to make pupils feel as if they are being judged. But this is a double edged sword. It makes some pupils redouble their efforts. It makes others feel like failures. It emphasises memorising the "right" answer over thinking and learning.

There's no such thing as a summative assessment. Any claim that learning is done and dusted is a distortion of learning. And any assessment that isn't formative is pointless.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

School tries to define us by all the things that can be measured, the most important things that happen in life can't be. 🙂

All of a sudden Trump is throwing references to men and their buttocks into his rally speeches. People are easily fooled...

It feels as if the BBC already went. But I don't think we are ready for what happens when it does go.

Which of these two is an actual long standing Mexican tradition?

This is objectively very very funny

SoL folks are primarily cognitivists, with a dash of constructivism. They see the brain is a symbol-crunching machine best developed by repeated exposure to training. They agree that it is helpful if learners care about what they are learning, but mostly for motivation, a means to enable repetition.

this isn't about "doing something a bit bad for you isn't that bad" it's about giving money to industries that want to destroy the planet / science > The tobacco industry for example, still publishes research even in journals which try to enforce complete bans on such work. olivia.science/before/

this why I believe abstinence is the only real way, but I know it's hard we have been here before with smoking, where the best thing is never to start & the second best is to stop as soon as you can — and it doesn't matter if one cig a day is "not that bad" if you can go down to one go down to nil

This is not true. The hottest place in the solar system is on earth. In the European fusion reactor. Formerly in Oxfordshire until Brexit.
