Dominique Pelicot, French man who drugged+raped his wife, brought men from the internet to rape her, filmed the rapes, plus drugged, raped, photographed his unconscious daughter, was found guilty. This is the rapist. Show him. Stop using his wife’s picture to report his crimes.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

New preliminary report (very tentative so far) on the link between household income and attainment at school. Income data not a panacea as yet, but full of promise. Some support for findings that poverty attainment is declining somewhat. Watch this space. durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/3959451

New open-access paper. A structured review of ethnic match between teacher and students. Unlike our findings for discipline, aspiration, selection etc. there is no good evidence of an impact on attainment. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This confirms our secondary analysis of School Workforce census linked to the National Pupil Database in England. On average, having a teacher of the same ethnicity does not affect attainment. But can be linked to how students are treated more widely. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
