I’ve been teacher for 25+ years. The vast majority of that working with students in inner-city schools. @tombennett71 is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT that discovery learning benefits the privileged.
Discovery learning is the slowest, clumsiest, most error-prone way for novices to learn anything. It privileges children who have advantaged home circumstances, tutors, supportive homes, and discriminates against children for whom school is their main or possibly only chance to learn how to read and write.
If your child asks you how they change species, you don’t just stop- you start teaching them science and biology! Best of all, because they can start to read about it, and because they’re interested, it will aid their motivation to do so.

Today's the 958th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting the scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry I made with Playmobil.

Somehow I thought she'd live forever.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith.

And we’re off!
The call for evidence for the curriculum and assessment review is now open, and will be for 8 weeks.
As @BeckyFrancis7 says, this is the chance for a national conversation. Excited to hear the diverse views, insights & expertise of all.

65 years ago today, Miles Davis released “Kind of Blue”
Kind of Blue is regarded by many as a true masterpiece, the greatest jazz album ever recorded, and one of the best albums of all time…
But what made the album so extraordinary?

I watched Moonraker and cheered when the villainous billionaire got blasted out of his own space station.

Actual Magna Carta historian here, happy to 'both sides' this.
In 1215 Magna Carta wasn't granted only to 'the barons', but 'to all free people' - about 1/3 of the population.
It promises the right to be judged 'by the law of the land', and that would now include incitement.

If you'd like to see a villainous California-based billionaire with his own space programme take on the British government and get his comeuppance, Moonraker is free-to-view on ITVx.

We have to be clear what people are now demanding. Not the right to free speech. But the right to lie. The right to spread malicious information that could impede an ongoing murder investigation. The right to incite people to riot. And they should just admit it.

A compilation of the greatest stuntwork of the legendary BUSTER KEATON.

I vaguely recall reading that Frederick Forsyth's routine was to spend three months of the year working very strictly full time to get a book ready and then spend the rest of the year pottering about. A great man.

Violence and expansion were integral to the armed bureaucracy at the heart of the East India Company.

One of the most repulsive, inaccurate and frankly embarrassing headlines in the history of the Daily Telegraph. It has appalled many of its own journalists. It is beneath contempt.

It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion.
He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are not heeded.
The reality is that his entire political future is dependent on fomenting confrontation and division. It is by creating a climate of crisis that he has got where he has.
And some of my former Conservative colleagues have argued the Conservatives should be linking up with Reform! Perhaps this shameful episode will open their eyes to his malevolence.

#Constitutionalhistory dominated university history departments in Britain until the 1960s. It's making a comeback.
