Thanks, I've enjoyed the show very much.

So if glaciers are on the curriculum (plus I have what I think is a reasonable expectation that some 15 year-olds have heard of glaciers outside of a school) and still none of them understands the term as used in an unseen passage *about an ice age* then like that seems a failure on so many levels?

Haven't done loads of research here but looking at BBC Bitesize for Keystage 3 (11-14) there is quite a bit on glaciers: www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...

Am I misreading this or is it the case that whole cohorts of 15-16 year olds don't know what a glacier is?

Really nice sound quality too!

I mean it could work out well... Check out this story by @nkjemisin.bsky.social en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergen...
