@thepetitioner @DavidAAldridge @ryandal @HughesHaili @m_chiles That's, in part, what our chapter's about.

John Catt really has a lot to answer for.

@NikaMagSlt @DavidAAldridge @thepetitioner @ryandal @HughesHaili @m_chiles No. They just seem confused by its relation to knowledge. Hence why I think they mixed them up. But obviously they then couldn't admit it!!

@DavidAAldridge @thepetitioner @ryandal @HughesHaili @m_chiles Obviously, need to plug our chapter at this point 😂 More Human Than Human? Transformational habitus, capital, field and the implanting of memories in school curricula bgro.repository.guildhe.ac.uk/id/eprint/923/

@DavidAAldridge @thepetitioner @ryandal @HughesHaili @m_chiles And what really demonstrates a complete lack of understanding imo, is the link that is then made to exam outcomes - as that is symbolic NOT cultural capital.

@Phil_Baty If there are complexities, then leaders need to understand and embrace complexity, not attempt extreme complexity reduction through over-reliance on metrics!

While vilification of university leaders is often encountered and easily made, the complexities and constraints of higher education management are not always well understood – and are even more rarely acknowledged, say Doug Parkin and Richard Watermeyer timeshighereducation.com/blog/lets-have…

@DeputyGrocott A few years ago now - but yes. And he had a very good argument for not doing it!!

Does anyone else have a year 7 aged son who is very reluctant to do homework?

Decided to drop out from this account. It's been my more general account and politics at the moment is too insane - need some headspace for the important stuff. From next week, just using @ProcessEdu.

@Janroweljmu But how can this be? They used ALL the best evidence, and were experts. I don't understand.

'Early career framework has no impact on retention'| Tes tes.com/magazine/news/…

Looking at my timeliness it seems that Johnson really has managed to pull off a mass bout of Stockholm syndrome in sections of the English population 😧

@DavidAAldridge Remember giving a keynote about 10 years ago where I argued the theory practice gap was a fallacy. Theory is a heuristic and hence should be useful for practice. If not, use a different theory. Also used it as par of triple loop learning model for teachers!!

Theory vs practice, or even linking/ connecting the two, is the wrong way of putting it, an old trap long set for ITE that we are insufficiently wise about even after all this time. Theory can and should inform practice. Which, when and how - these are the difficult questions.

🚨 BREAKING: She's running. Cthulhu will contest the Tory leadership election after being approached by several Brexiteer MPs. The High Priest of the Great Old Ones told The Daily Mail: "All mankind should be free and wild, shouting and killing and revelling in joy."

What!!! This is now completely untenable. This is complete madness.

@ed_podesta Yep, the other two weren't that good!!

@Rokewood Can I have that go at chancellor?

I’m Prime Minister! 🤣🤣🤣

@DavidAAldridge And the fact he was really talking about individual tutoring, not organisations of 1000!!

People who want to blame Rousseau for things in education seem to have read an encyclopaedia definition of ‘romanticism’ rather than a single word Rousseau actually wrote, let alone having engaged with the nuanced and complex literary way in which the argument of Emile works.

@Rokewood That means it's my turn from 9pm up to 9.30pm!! Don't know who's after me.

I’m Home Secretary!! 🤣🤣🤣

@pixelsonapage Oh, absolutely. But overall suggests the government are hemorrhaging money somewhere, and it isn't in supporting the public sphere.

Simple question. If the tax take is the biggest in years, but public servcies are chronically underfunded and on the verge of collapse, where is all the money going? #PoliticsLive

In all the discussion of a collapsing economy feels surreal that the media and politicians ensure Brexit is never mentioned!! #PoliticsLive
