The best take I've seen was:

"All these people saying 'this wasn't the Peter we knew' are fascinating, as I'm pretty sure for the rest of us this is EXACTLY the Peter we knew"

I'm kinda warm and fuzzy about that. He ended up a bit dented...

I mean my biggest question is do you still have the undergraduate economics textbook I used to hammer one of your bookshelves together in first year 😝

I remember seeing Unaccountable Albatross headlining the Hammersmith Odeon in ‘83.

Unfortunately zealous or frankly just scared senior managers are all over the place doing utterly bizarre things in the name of accountability, standards, protection of reputation etc etc etc.

"we do not believe that children should view learning as fun"

😳

One favourite is the woman from a primary school MAT who interrupted a conversation between 2 teaching consultants at a training event who were talking about how some materials made learning fun to remind all teachers from her trust that "this would not fit with their ethos and Trust learning style"

It’s World Book Day!
I’ve celebrated by dressing as one of my favourite Ancient Greek characters (and goddesses) to read and to write, ⚡️Athene, Goddess of Wisdom⚡️

(And I taught three classes and a help session dressed like this!)
