Also undoing the idea that historical sources from the BBC are “not biased” 🫠
University history lecturers spend much of the first year survey courses unravelling students' conviction that a source is useless because "it is bias (sic)".
No, the bias or perspective is precisely what we're interested in.
No, the bias or perspective is precisely what we're interested in.
So sick of hearing "You're biased" used as a social, economic or political argument. I blame the school curriculum - we had to do a load of nonsense in history & science GCSEs about "identifying bias" in a way that left people utterly helpless at dealing with structure, ideology or epistemology.

Would not surprise me if we look back on the academy-era “discipline” fixation as a weird Victorian aberration, and the shovelling money and autonomy at obvious mini-Hitlers who want to practice it as a shocking dereliction of duty. The entire premise that poor kids need “discipline” is toxic.
Excl: Govt expresses alarm as 140 parents, teachers & students speak out about “systemic” & “lasting” emotional harm at two top London academies over 2 decades. Distressing stories of “terrified” children & former students “haunted” by experience years later. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
