Lots to think about here. Biesta argues there has been a shift from education (the development of people & democracy) as a right to learning (to adapt to economic conditions) as a duty https://t.co/yi5OR9G3ke
BREAKING: Government department covered in paint in protest against Drax
An Axe Drax member has used a modified fire extingisher to spray orange paint over the department for Business Energy and indistrial strategy, as the first of a wave of protests to #StopBurningTrees
Look out for events in Leeds, York and Hull today ๐๐ผ Drax is on our patch, but will the issue and the protests be covered on our regional news programmes?

Still pondering @SparksMaths wonderful plenary from @scottishmaths conference. I reckon the new curriculum and assessment bodies in Scotland could apply William Morris - keep nothing in your maths curriculum that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful

Great to hear Ben Sparks when When I began teaching (last century!!) we used lots of IT in maths cabri dynamic geometry, logo, excel, autograph, and many wonderful small programmes like SLIMWAM, maths circus... 1/2 #smc2022
