Yeah it's time for proper restriction of smart phones for kids. Even a ban. We have enough evidence they're dreadful for us and worse for children. Let's get on with it now.

This blog beautifully explains why generic t&l is v limited (beyond strong routines, behaviour management etc, but they're not teaching). We can't meaningfully judge, analyse improve, train or support teaching without being steeped in subject-specific, curricular shaping of the thing being taught.

Really excited by this new part of the #CurriculumPATHS project. We are collaborating with various bodies to share sources and interpretations to inspire #historyteacher s in their planning for school. Our first set is a collab with the BL looking at Britain and India 1600-1947. Please share!

I have compiled a bit of a list of great history people to follow here, but do get in touch if I have missed you off! I want to build the ever-stronger network here.

Please share far and wide!!

"Nazi legal theorists argued that politics was a matter of defining the enemy and choosing a side. The rule of law was to yield to a special sort unrule, in which the chieftain defined politics by choosing an enemy to be blamed for his own crimes."

The best thing about this is Led By Donkeys, the most centrist dad movement in existence, becoming the "far-left".

Is @bsky.app a viable Twitter alternative? Of course. It does well what Twitter does well and does many other things better. But I understand why we ask. What we mean is: Is a non-Twitter version of ourselves viable? Or are we permanently addicted to messy drama and ragebait? Can we change? Hope so.
