@daisychristo @ProfDanielMuijs Same on a macro and micro level; just look at the reactions to Michaela’s success. So sad. I thought that what mattered was the quality of education and children’s success… not being politically vindicated.

Earlier this week I recorded an episode of @BBCMoreOrLess on exactly this issue.
We have so much evidence about the success of knowledge based curriculums, and it is such a genuinely interesting area of research with so many fascinating potential further applications.
But it is

I am getting so fed up with this narrative. It is so desperate, so full of bad faith, and so easily disproved.
Basically, knowledge-based curriculums have succeeded. They work. We have so much evidence that they work.
But now you have lots of people saying "oh well maybe it's

I've just heard my MP @helenhayes_ has spoken at an event in the House of Commons blaming England's attendance problems on its "narrow knowledge-based curriculum".
If a knowledge-based curriculum causes attendance problems, how come Scotland & Wales have a worse attendance http

For a long time, only relatively wealthy westerners could afford to pay someone to write their essays for them.
AI has changed all that. It's democratised cheating for students everywhere. Any student can now cheat, for free.

We start with the deadliest civil war in history (which barely anyone in the west knows about) and proceed from there to 19th C England, 17th C navy reforms, and end with why irony can be

According to this article, the govt want to bring back coursework.
If that happens, then you will not be "bringing back clever".
Kids will use LLMs to write the coursework, outsource their cognition, and you will accelerate the reverse Flynn effect & the "stupidogenic"

@daisychristo We teach critical appraisal of studies like clinical trials, cohort & case control studies. Before they are taught, students tend to believe what they read. After they are taught they can better distinguish between biased & unbiased studies.
Isn’t this critical thi

@daisychristo Such an important point.
Like teaching “critical thinking” without giving students anything to think about.

In 2013 I wrote a book called Seven Myths about Education.
What is the most persistent myth, the one that is hardest to kill, and the one that has biggest implications outside education?
Transferable skills.
People think that you can teach things like critical thinking,

@daisychristo It is true for me that when I've asked the tech developers what problem they are solving (that uniquely AI can solve) it's become a difficult conversation.
On one occasion it ended with them telling I shouldn't be in a classroom. Another blocked me. Hey ho.

@daisychristo All AI does under the present system is generate revenue for a company. Same as IT back in the 1970s/80s. It's almost like learning is not the end product of these marvellous inventions!

@daisychristo Trusting a child to know or be able to report their "interests"😂
Usually it is the last thing that caught their attention, or what their friend said, or vague due to lack of articulation. All of which is why you don't pander and set a curriculum.
Sorry, it can be bo

AI can now generate a unique textbook for every child based on their interests, which is genuinely impressive.
But interactive whiteboards were genuinely impressive, and they didn't help learning.
The classic failure mode of ed tech is the solution in search of a problem - the
