Maths should not be about rules, and right or wrong answers, and 'mindless memorisation' but about creativity and ideas, says Jo Boaler bit.ly/2pmfzFr

Millions of us have been calling for a ceasefire to stop the loss of life and prevent a wider conflict. Political leaders have chosen to ignore us — and their failure to facilitate de-escalation has endangered everyone. The world is in a truly perilous state. It’s time to

Explaining the inability of schools to support SEN children like they used to is also a pretty difficult/upsetting conversation for all parties concerned. It’s not our politicians who have to have the conversations that we need to have because of their decisions.

It blows my mind that David Cameron talks of the risk of casualties when Israel has killed over 30,000 & our Government continue to support them. Some lives are more important than others, clearly.

I had the great pleasure of sharing the writing of this ATM publication with Derek and Barbara Ball back in 2008. What a very sad loss.
