Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

My latest @tesmagazine.bsky.social column: ‘Inclusion by design: why it matters and how to do it’.

I explore the changing picture around inclusion (from the OFSTED to the ‘Send crisis’), alongside practical, evidence-informed approaches teachers can address now.

www.tes.com/magazine/tea...
Inclusion ‘by design’: why it matters and how to do it
With the new Ofsted framework taking a broad view of inclusion, it’s even more important to make teaching inclusive ‘by design’ and not by accident, suggests Alex Quigley

Actually, I wasn't just wanted to feel included. Also had an argument with 5x 12 year olds this week who dogpiled me and claimed they all remembered being born.

Shakespeare was a prescient genius. Quoth he:

"Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the frogs of war"

Mark Antony in Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.

And this is where we are now!

Frank Herbert (1920-86) While writing an article about Oregon sand dunes he became enthralled by his research. He abandoned the article and wrote 𝑫𝒖𝒏𝒆, which was rejected by 23 publishers before a small press known mainly for its auto-repair manuals took a chance

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) was born 105 years ago today.

Here's Frank Herbert with David Lynch, who wrote and directed the first Dune adaptation in 1984 (and who passed away in January).

Badenoch wants to eliminate ‘rip off degrees’ like English. The usual philistine crap that a degree is just about work. The mission to create the stupidest nation on earth. And counterproductive. Young people will work for years. They’ll retrain endlessly. A degree can help them learn how to learn
