@SuellaBraverman I'm not sure who Cambridge should be more embarrassed by, Arday or Braverman.

@teachingwrens @SamStrickers181 It shows that you expect the pupils to have basic standards of behaviour, which is cruel/racist/classist/sexist/hateful or whatever else is in vogue.

Low standards are incredibly harmful to pupils, but celebrated as virtuous as we've lost our minds.

@Northcoastpadd1 @barton_jw The mother sounds like a nutter.

@adamboxer1 @Mr_AlmondED Has anyone considered that she's just bored over summer and looking to rage bait?

@aljhlester The comment about white colleagues is interesting as it's the bigotry, and need to conceal it, that seems to have allowed this all to happen.

You then extend this with your own bigotry of low expectations, as this black man needs to be guided.

@SoLInTheWild Do Americans have to have the flag in the classroom?

@hixuleez @rastokke My main purpose as a teacher is to improve the academic outcomes of my pupils; that's my job.

I'm aware that this will lead to positive outcomes in pretty much all other areas of their life.

@johnesharp @LauraTrottMP The same was said in the 80s and 90s in regard to new technology.

It was said in the 20s with increased industrialisation.

AI won't remove the need, materially or morally, for an educated population.

@john_bravo6 @TrueSlazac @Michal6h The Russians walked hand-in-hand with the Nazis into Poland.

Hitler would have been proud of Katyn.

@Jamesmac283 @James09959617 @BenRamanauskas @CPatrickD888 You would find it difficult to find many Brits who see themselves as saints on the world stage.

[Joad @Tom_Joad1915]

@john_bravo6 @TrueSlazac @Michal6h You could make that argument of many Allied actions during WW2, as not all had immediate success. Some were disastrous (Market Garden).

However, it's the sum of all these actions that led to defeating Nazism.

@James09959617 @BenRamanauskas @CPatrickD888 Britain fought in Korea.

@jmattmiller American teachers seem to have more freedom to do insane things.

[Joad @Tom_Joad1915]

@PaulGarvey4 I do not understand your reply.

From what I've seen, they achieve great things.

The counter arguments usually seem nasty and unfocused.

@tombennett71 "As you can see, putting lead in everything is a great technological leap forward."

@neetu_arnold Could you give some good examples to look at, please.
