Sir Roger Scruton will be dearly missed... #ModernPhilosophy

@0Beanie05923291 Of course; it's the age old notion that a full and balanced curriculum should provide students with cultural capital. Anybody who thinks otherwise should be nowhere near education.

@goodreads Yes, always. Occasionally I return to the start and go again.

@teacherhead @HLearningPD I didn't know... I agree, a sad day. I've enjoyed books they've published, but they've also been first class as a bulk supplier for our college in the past; very responsive and with some great deals.

@DavidDidau Congratulations on a fantastic turnaround. Looking forward to further news on the new book. Many years ago I read The Secret of Literacy cover to cover and it was a really informative read. Good luck with it (and the half marathon!)

@teacherhead @FrancisAlun @leahteacher This would be useful and of interest to staff at Oldham.

@daisychristo I have absolutely no idea why people think it's best that after their GCSEs, sixteen year old students are best served by suddenly switching to sitting in examinations typing their responses on a laptop. It's a complete travesty and defies common sense.

[Roger Scruton Quotes @Scruton_Quotes]

"We are, it seems to me, entering a realm of cultural darkness, in which rational argument and respect for the opponent are disappearing from public discourse, and in which increasingly, on every issue that matters, there is only one permitted view, and a licence to persecute all the heretics that do not subscribe to it. This signifies, to my way of thinking, the death of our political culture, and the rise of a kind of godless religion in its stead."

@FraserNelson Congratulations to @katyballs, and thanks for the work at The Spectator in recent years.

@TobyMoody When I saw the post with the dates, I thought you'd died... 🤦

@thenitinsawhney I'm so sorry to hear of your worries for your dear Mum. I hope she comes through soon with a swift and full recovery. And best wishes to you too Nitin.

@GMB Don't call it assisted dying; we already have that in palliative care. This bill is for accelerated dying.

Today is Staff Engagement Day!

All teams have been briefed on latest news & exciting plans, and worked together on strategic action plans for the next half term & beyond.

The day began with all staff learning & teaching each other to sign the British Sign Language alphabet!

@katemosse @twitter This is very sad. This platform does need good people who are a positive influence. However yes, I respect the decision and am happy to follow on Instagram.
