This podcast rocked my world.
In this week’s episode of The Amol Rajan Connection: @daisychristo on how we’re messing up Education; the danger of the Stupidogenic Society; what technology does to our minds; long-term vs working memory; and how AI affects what children should learn. Out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

Oracy: as a teacher i really don’t need any more students who don’t have enough knowledge to analyse a situation to be able to voice a poorly informed opinion… theres enough ppl on social media who teach that!

If your school’s behaviour management policy requires you to a) Be a child psychologist b) Stop everything to focus constantly on one child out of thirty c) Be telepathically intuitive and magically persuasive d) Accept rude or unsafe behaviour e) Stop and think hard about the exact, complex next step… Then it’s not a behaviour policy, but a misbehaviour policy, because it creates an environment where misbehaviour is more likely. It’s also a quit-switch for staff who are human beings, not sorcerers.

More and more convinced that the inclusion lead* in your school should just be the teaching and learning lead. Inclusive teaching is just excellent high-quality teaching. That’s 80%+ of your inclusion strategy. *assuming SENDCO is a different role.

Teach parents this and schools will have less problems: “Research finds children raised with an authoritative approach, combining warmth with clear boundaries, tend to achieve better academic results, have higher self-esteem and stronger social skills.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv4g…

When kids struggle to meet academic standards, it can seem only fair to lower them--or make excuses. But that only perpetuates unfairness. Instead, let's harness cognitive science to enable more kids to MEET high standards. More in my new post: nataliewexler.substack.com/p…

When a teacher cedes their authority to their students, it isn’t the nice kids who take over. It’s the ones the nice kids are afraid of.
