Donald Trump mentioned the Republic of Moldova in last night's State of The Union speech. Not in a good way, but in a bad way. Not in the transatlantic sense, but in the Moscow sense. With each passing day, Donald Trump moves closer to realizing the Kremlin's ambitions from the

The child featured in the BBC's Gaza documentary has now provided his view of what happened. He claims: 1) The producers paid him $1,000 2) The narration is not in his own words: “The director of the movie had guided me to the lines that I had spoken” and "the script that I

1/Donald Trump is neither the Messiah nor the Devil. The sycophants and the haters are equally wrong. The reality is nuanced. There is a benign Trump, and a malign Trump, and both coexist uneasily within the president’s persona. He is spectacularly right on some issues, and

Not every kid deserves to stay in the classroom. Some students have earned their way out of it. It is not cruel to admit this. What's cruel is forcing 25 other students to sit in the room while one kid makes learning impossible. And every teacher knows what kid I mean! Some

You will never understand this conflict without understanding that on October 4, 2023, women from Kibbutz Be’eri attended a peace conference for Israeli and Palestinian women. And on October 7, Hamas reportedly used an attendee list to hunt down these women and murder them.

It shouldn’t be about the ‘good’ Ofsted badge. It should be about creating a school where adults enjoy working. Free from abuse, agression, casual but habitual contempt. If you wouldn’t want a relative to do supply in your school, for instance, there’s a problem.

If you still labour under the 'myth of equivalence' in the Israel-Hamas conflict and this doesn't shake you out of it, nothing will.

Good to see the plight of young males getting its occasional moment. So much of the chat is about toxic online influencers - it is undoubtedly relevant - but the bigger outcome on a boys life is education. Lads have been falling behind academically for years, white working class

Everyone in a rush to champion a Netflix drama for shedding light on “toxic masculinity” was very quiet about the “toxic masculinity” of grooming gangs.

THE PHANTOM RASPBERRY BLOWER OF OLD LONDON TOWN: Written by Spike Milligan for a 1971 Ronnie Barker vehicle, and famously remade in 1976 as a serial for The Two Ronnies. Brilliant, bonkers, and, for 6 year-old me, absolutely terrifying.

A very interesting but sobering AoI Education Forum thing on the proliferation of Special Educational Needs (SEN) in schools yesterday evening, with Dave Clements speaking. One contributor suggested a perfect storm in which the socialization of children has collapsed at the same

‘It may or may not be the case that a child growing up on a council estate will encounter Shakespeare at home. Or Plato. Or Pythagoras. Or Hildegard of Bingen. Or the music of Miles Davis or the poetry of Keats. That is precisely why we teach it. School is not meant to reflect

David Collier Quite an eye-opener to read the replies to you. About half the posts are by leftists or Muslims who basically think it's your own fault your car got smashed up because you're Jewish.

Worth watching this video. From the moment he swiped stuff off the shelves to the moment he barged through the underground ticket barrier, there was absolutely no attempt by anyone (save the guy filming it) to challenge him. We seem to have just given up as a society.
