Cast iron route to entrenched social disadvantage
So what should schools do about this?
1. Don't fixate on grades. They dont matter as much as we're told.
2. Prioritise fostering warm, supportive relationships between staff and students.
3. Create an interesting, relevant & challenging curriculum.
4. Foster a love of learning

I have done an OAT Maths curriculum update in a while, what with not really going to the other place much. We’re getting close to finishing the five years now. Just released GM8 Surface Area and Volume and a gorgeous unit* on quadratic graphs and equations (A12).

Aside from the pointlessness of showing kids a fictional drama rather than actually doing some legislating, I find it fascinating that officials thought that the barrier to showing a 4hr Netflix drama in school was the subscription, and not a spare 4 hours to show it. www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/adol...

Had fun with year 7 simplifying ratios in #mathstoday. They acted the first set, 4 and 5 in the second set gave a good discussion, and I was impressed by what they came up with in the third set.
