It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

The cowards are the one bending over for Putin and lying about Zelenskyy.
Felon 47 can only dream of being as courageous, intelligent and steadfast as Zelenskyy. Felon 47 will always be remembered for dodging the draft and hiding his fat ass in underground bunkers.

Do you Americans just let anyone into the organs of the state - clearly yes?
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

So true it’s the punitive nature of inspections which needs to change.
It risks effective headteachers deciding to retire or leave leadership and even teaching. It will make recruitment of effective headteachers more difficult.
The plan to retain numbered sub-judgements risks replicating the worst aspects of the current system and will do little to reduce the enormous pressure school leaders are under.

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
