Preparing for a World Cup is a team scientific endeavor nonetheless requiring a lot of strategic bets. Great piece by @Alan_McCall_

Hooray! We’ll just press the tech button and learning problems will disappear.

Sir Keir Starmer has announced that AI tutors will be rolled out to 450,000 children on free school meals to close the attainment gap.

Speaking at London Tech Week, the PM also announced the government's new AI jobseeking tool.

@Moonekev Cool. You had me at Travels with a Donkey. Truly one of the finest travel books. How do you compare to Cormac McCarthy?

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

This is such a fun and fantastic parlor game. I’ve been working on my list for about three days and here’s what I’m sure of:

Yes:
George Orwell
Jane Austen
Laurence Sterne

Probably:
Flannery O’Connor
George Elliott

Have a lot of work to do so eager to hear what’s on your all’s lists.

@Moonekev he's true grit, right? never read!

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@Kaetror Sadly I’ve never read. I Know that I need to!

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

@Doug_Lemov This is challenging because my list of authors and books I've yet to get around to overwhelms the ones I want to return to.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@ThomasCryan Ok. On my list!

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@ThomasCryan I haven’t read beyond brave new world (which I loved). What should I read next by him?

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@5Naureen i'm sooo glad i read hardy. but i can't say i enjoyed hardy.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@SWLiteracy Nobody rates James Joyce either. 😅

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@Panhandlebound @karenvaites I think a LOT of people would wish they’d said that if they ever had to really stick to their list 😉

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@BadgersPackBuck @karenvaites So interesting. He was on my list. Love slaughterhouse and his short stories. But I went back and reread god bless you my rosewater last year and thought: maybe I overrated him. What’s your fave by him?

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@BierVicki You like your western writers! Good list Thanks!

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@JohnCos99944736 @karenvaites I used to loove Dave Barry. What happened to him??

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@SWLiteracy Ha ha. Yes

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@karenvaites This is great. It suggests good balance and that you’d actually enjoy reading your list more than a lot of other people. Gonna add some humor to my list.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@rcdaut How would you compare brothers karamazov to crime & punish?

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@tombennett71 Focusing on fiction. Otherwise…

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

@rcdaut I had McCarthy on my list after reading the road. But then I read the crossing and I took him off my list
