Arg! Yeah, maybe join a gym!

I did the 1 mile fun run with my four year old. You were running in quite a bit of heat by the end which makes the time extra impressive!

Oh man you’re leaning in to that management style this morning.

(I’m a Plymouth Argyle fan and fail quite a lot so I guess I could just write it myself)

“How I overcame failure by watching scrappy route 1 football” is a blog I need to read.

Please share if you can 🙏

Yes this is a crucial point.

Also, founders & investors are more likely to have people who were motivated learners themselves. Or their memory of self-directed later learning (eg uni) is stronger than memory of being 14. Reluctant learners (which most kids are at some point!) are not top of mind.

My tolerance for jeopardy in films is through the floor these days. The world has enough trauma - please let my entertainment be shiny and non-nightmare inducing.

What do you say to a teacher who does rubbish activities? Question Time!

What do pastoral leads in private schools do all day?
What do you say to colleagues who are choosing rubbish activities that they think are great?

All this and more, tune in and share!
