@thedankoe Inquisitiveness, discussion, cross fertilisation of ideas from different sectors/disciplines/skills - all accelerate real learning and drive thinking and innovation forwards.

I just love the sound of our dog snoring soundly under my desk while I work.... She is clearly ready to spring into action at any moment :-)

-5°C this morning and forecast to be a cold week. Can't help but wonder if this will be the week when the UK runs out of gas.... 3 days storage. Boilers on full.

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Nicolascole77 You could write a book about that outline.....

(J) - I've read it, it's great, thanks for taking the time to write it.

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@jk_rowling @Acts17David Would that be trans recovery?

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Miss_Snuffy A direct hit on families striving to do better for their kids..... Well done. Ideology wins again while the UK decline accelerates its pace 😞

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Miss_Snuffy Absolutely correct. Society runs on structure, formality and rules. We've been breaking them all down for the last 30 years (at least). Sometimes it's progress, most of the time it's just erosion of social cohesion.

Skin colour makes no difference.

Structure and adherence do

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Mouhssin_Ismail Observations from friends who work in schools suggest strongly that it's an excuse for several things. Lack of parenting, lack of responsibility for self, lack of discipline, and lack of respect for self and others. And, of course accentuated by very poor diet.

[Neil O'Brien @NeilDotObrien]

Bridget Phillipson wants to boast teacher numbers are up, even though teacher numbers are down, so she now says the loss of 2,900 primary school teachers doesn't count.

I made a tool so you can look up what happened to primary school teachers in your constituency.

@Miss_Snuffy I think you are an inspirational human...

I think petty division is a way of detracting from the real issues. And there are enough real issues to go around.

Division of humanity is enabled by our sport, politics, religion, and any time things are distilled down to "us and them"

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Nicolascole77 It always has been.

Lack of ability and clarity in thinking has held society back for a long time.

Using AI just brings that into sharp relief.

Maybe chat GPT will eventually be able to realise the skills gap and offer some education to improve 🤔

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@MrDavidScales Aspiration.

Work ethic.

Build a better life for self and family.

Immigrants get this when presented with better opportunity. They had no social support (generally) before moving to places with abundant opportunity.

Anyone can succeed. But not without the right values

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Miss_Snuffy Fantastic feedback. And totally brilliant that she came of her own volition. That alone speaks volumes.

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@MouthSouth13 @Miss_Snuffy To be completely fair, Michaela is a stand out exceptional school and we need much more of the same leadership, attitude, direction, teamwork and professionalism that is missing from many of our schools. Strong leaders are in such short supply. We have a few but it's not the norm

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Miss_Snuffy I'm sure you've seen this. It backs up what you say about banning kids under 16 from having smart phones https://t.co/VPJkPuH5ip

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Miss_Snuffy Too late for the 22 schools that have already closed or announced closure ☹️

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@Nicolascole77 But “just the way I am” has a sad resignation that there is no desire to “improve” or to aspire to be “better” in any way.

Perhaps, “thats the way I am” should the realisation that “you” need to have some aspiration and become, “that’s what I aim to become”?

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@elliot633297 @Miss_Snuffy Indeed.

Oppressed vs oppressor is spot on… looking for division where none exists. It seems to be largely driven by jealousy.

Surely it would be better to try to improve things rather than to try to undermine history, capability and achievement? Progress rather than regression

[Ian Sharp @IanDSharp]

@elliot633297 @Miss_Snuffy Or worse. They join the civil service and/or become politicians. Its not difficult to see why “opinion” rules and real progress is stifled.

“cultural superiority” made my eyes role. Every nation has a culture. Ours is obvious and far reaching. We celebrate it, that all….
