For much of human history, our ancestors were trapped in an economy in which incomes were determined by the size of the population.

The Industrial Revolution ended this Malthusian economy and made it possible for a country to leave abject poverty behind.

Yesterday I was struck by how ill-prepared mainstream media was to engage with the revolt taking place....

This CPD from @RGS_IBGschools was truly excellent last year & I recommend it to any A-Level teacher who teaches about the Olympic Park / Stratford area!

A reply from @AlexStandish9 to a recent piece I wrote.

While I argue that the curriculum should be future-facing, Alex reminds us not to forget the importance of learning about, and building on, the past.

@spectator @amanda_spielman Important questions are being raised here.....

Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, has been accused by 370 academics of undermining free speech. This includes three Nobel laureates.

It comes after she shelved plans for a legal complaints system to tackle 'cancel culture' on British campuses.

The death of Paul ‘Population Bomb’ Ehrlich deprives us of one the most infamous doom-mongers of the 20th century. He predicted famine and mass death if people kept having kids. And he was catastrophically wrong, says Simon Evans

Thank you for your contribution Kate. Teachers must treat people in different places with respect and as subjects of their own destiny, IMO.

[Kate Stockings @kate_stockings]

It was a pleasure to speak at last week's IOE Research Seminar on Place in geography, organised by @alexstandish9. In thinking really carefully about how we're teaching place in our curriculum, I settled on these big questions that I think the subject community needs to ponder💭

No, the Iran War does not make the case for Net Zero. Wind and solar are still wildly expensive to capture, store and transport. Unless we drill our own fossil fuels again, we will be vulnerable to global shocks, says Andy Mayer

@DavidDavisMP I agree, but are the humanities and arts not also valuable degrees?

It maybe the 13th largest economy but this weekend's violence shows just how far Mexico has to travel to become a safer country for citizens.
