@martin_compston So here’s a thing… Scotland play Hungary tomorrow,
23 June, the date of the first day of the Battle of Bannockburn. The following day in 1314 was when we literally ‘sent him homewards tae think again’. It bodes well, cheerio Hungary! No 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 no 🎉

Word of the day is ‘sequacity’ (17th century): a slavish following of another person’s opinions without any questioning at all.

#9 This week, in history… I’m wondering what the point of my curriculum is

Lots of focus on increasing the amount pupils learn/remember from individual lessons and sequences. But to what end? #edublogshare

Sunday morning blog:
"The Issue of Class in the Classroom".

The middle-class lens, insistence that all teachers are middle-class, and the professional graduate-status of teaching.
