I'm running a rare (cos I never have time any more) Whole Class Reading In KS2 Zoom on Sunday morning at 10am next week, if anyone fancies it. I know it's short notice. Retweets appreciated if anyone's still here.

Final chance to write to the consultation to try and stop the government taking school exams online. This is the address to write to.

And here’s what I wrote.

I urge everyone to fill this in. Screen-based assessments will be a disaster for England’s schools. The entire proposal is absurd & a complete waste of taxpayer money. 30% of students fail Eng / Maths: invest in this instead. 😡

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

‘Flags is it’

Love this! Some little beauty hung flags from around the World across Pontllanfraith bridge, Caerphilly.

Our amazing Ambassador Anna Maxwell Martin continues to shine a light on the tensions, perverse incentives and urgent opportunity to find Another Way. Together.

Today is World suicide prevention day.
Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide. We can all make a difference by checking in on those around us.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

This video produced by Norwich City does a fantastic job of shining a light on how many people suffer in silence when they don’t need to.

If you’re struggling, you can call Samaritans on: 116 123.

"You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: ‘Go on, get in.’"

Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs.

Well done to the Holocaust Museum for this. It cannot have been easy.

Customer feedback this week;

‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’

Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

This will be MASSIVE on the news … because they really go big on high profile politicians and tax arrangements.

[Private Eye Magazine @PrivateEyeNews]

There was outrage in Conservative circles at the revelation that Angela Rayner has a property empire extending to two actual residences.

From the new Private Eye, out now.

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Wonder if this will get the same coverage as Angela Rayner's stamp duty...

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

While we’re talking about politicians and tax, a reminder that Nigel Farage works for a company that exists to help rich people avoid tax.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

“He... is clearly responsible for making the country more divisive, divided, poorer, less relevant in the world, fewer opportunities for our kids and grandkids.”

Nick Clegg criticises Nigel Farage and labels Brexit “the most extraordinary act of self-harm”.
