@dylanwiliam @tombennett71 For me the problem is with prior achievement referencing is that the whole national cohort can’t improve. One school can only improve results if another schools results go down.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@dylanwiliam @tombennett71 I thought that prior achievement referencing means that the proportions achieved at year 6 are roughly the same proportions that are achieved in year 11 for the whole national cohort. Is this wrong?

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@dylanwiliam @tombennett71 If it is cohort referenced say to year 6 Sats results how could everybody get a grade 9 in theory? Surely the cohort referencing does roughly fix it to what the same cohort achieved in year 6.

@alex_callinicos @TheEconomist A real Jekyll and Hyde interview. But fascinating on super abundance and money and the time scale in which it sees it happening. The future of AI appears to be with robotics.

@MichaelRosenYes @JewishInternat1 @jdforward Nobody, as far as I am aware, argued that East Germany, Czechoslovakia or Yugoslavia had a right to exist. Counties come and go. Why should Israel be any different?

@alex_callinicos He is an advisor to defense industries so he will be paid very well for that speech.

@alex_callinicos I like the cover of the 1976 edition.

@mathillustrated Grading students is an education idea that must go.

@alex_callinicos @amolrajan @BBCr4today He is a fan of exam grades and failing students because when they fail it motivates them to work harder.

@ShangguanJiewen @ProfSteveKeen Capital is not a thing it is a social relation. That is why China is a capitalist country. The social relation involves exploitation and competition.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@haugejostein It is not a subfield. Political economy effectively split into economics and sociology in the late nineteenth century. Therein lies the problem for both disciplines. They both abandoned the idea of surplus value and exploitation.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@haugejostein @jasonhickel There are many different models of ownership and control of capital. One of them is the Chinese model. More state or less state it is all capitalist.

@TimHarford They obviously work as very few drivers go the wrong way. So the reason is because it works!

What’s behind Trump’s ‘ceasefire’ over Iran? https://t.co/mNFTzm1uvE
Excellent article in Socialist Worker

@triptothemoon @MichaelRosenYes Why not Moneybags Musk or Global Moneybags Musk. It has a good pedigree as Marx in Capital refers to capitalists as moneybags. They think their money comes from their talent and commitment when in fact it comes from exploitation of workers.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@MichaelRosenYes The important point for me is that whether it’s norm referenced or prior achievement referenced they are both based on the flawed idea that intelligence is fixed, unchanging and can be measured.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@MichaelRosenYes Either way it’s based on the false idea that intelligence is fixed and cannot change.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@MichaelRosenYes A level results are referenced to GCSE results, GCSE results are referenced to SATs. The referencing fixes the proportions allowed for each grade. Not strictly norm-referencing (referencing the normal distribution) but prior attainment referencing.

[Nick Moore @Nick1Moore]

@OwenJones84 This would not have happened without the opposition on the streets and Labour being punished in the election because of its support for Israel.
