The reason Andrew T*te and his ilk appeal to young men is because he provides a role model to boys who have none, or lack purpose or direction; he tells insecure kids they can be strong and powerful if they are like him. While lessons can be useful, the real way tackle this is to provide better models of meaning and purpose to them; teach them to see themselves as scientists, athletes, scholars, musicians. That comes through school cultures that constantly demonstrate and model the value of those ambitions, and teach children to a high standard of success. Because feeling successful is the antidote to childish, cartoonish, cruel forms of masculinity and potency. A few assemblies on 'don't be sexist' won't scratch the surface of a child's self-image, but it will make adults feel like they have done something.

On this day, 10 years ago, I founded La Salle Education. It has been an incredibly difficult but hugely rewarding decade in which an initial idea has grown into something wonderful. Here is a short thread on some of my reflections… and a rather big personal announcement.

With the IB Key Skill generator you can create worksheets quickly and get students to give answers a confidence rating. Full solutions too. Designed for IB AA Maths, but topics will be useful for A Level too. generator.interactive-maths.… #mathschat

Ordinary people see beauty in complex mathematical arguments in the same way they can appreciate a beautiful landscape painting or a piano sonata - and you don't need to be a mathematician to get it, a recent study has revealed [read more: buff.ly/2UK7Dg8]
