Friday, 19 June 2015. Art Pedagogy- Measurement ,Speculation and Subjectivation. 8216;Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else and root out every thing else’. Location 31. So speaks the character of Thomas Gradgrind ‘a man of realities’ in Charles Dickens Hard Times. 8216;[W]here neoconservative ideology is being imposed on the education system without any attempt to seek consensus or proper dialogue with the teaching.

Pedagoggles: December 2009

Education through a lens. Sunday, 13 December 2009. HOW X FACTOR CREATES SOCIAL INEQUALITY. This is heart-warming and entertaining, but it is also fucking bollocks. The X Factor is so successful and popular because it leeches onto that age-old sentiment that you can cheat the system, ‘surely there’s an easier way? The real winners of X Factor – the middle classes who turn their nose up at it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). HOW X FACTOR CREATES SOCIAL INEQUALITY.

Pedagoggles: Schools as Exam Factories
http://pedagoggles.blogspot.com/2012/11/schools-as-exam-factories.html
Education through a lens. Sunday, 18 November 2012. Schools as Exam Factories. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) have sagely announced that British schools have become 'exam factories' - conveyor belts endlessly churning out pupil-products ill-equipped for the world of work. The CBI should appreciate better than most organisations that have success in business involves cutting corner - minimum input, maximum output. Is it really surprising that after New Labour and the Conservatives hav...Schoo...

Pedagoggles: April 2012
http://pedagoggles.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Education through a lens. Saturday, 21 April 2012. When teaching as a 'calling' means 'put up and shut up'. Yet when teachers complain - either verbally or through union activities - they are castigated with a venom reserved usually only for Tube drivers and rubbish collectors. What links the teachers, the tube drivers and rubbish collectors? I am being asked to work longer hours for, effectively, less pay. But you get loads of holidays. I am being forced to stay in school beyond my working hours. Why ar...

Pedagoggles: Lesson observations are good, in theory.
http://pedagoggles.blogspot.com/2012/07/lesson-observations-are-good-in-theory.html
Education through a lens. Saturday, 14 July 2012. Lesson observations are good, in theory. Lesson observations are good, in theory. The problem is that leadership teams don't necessarily give much thought to theory. There is no wonder that teachers and their unions are touching cloth over the abandonment of the three-hour annual cap on lesson observations. The culture of schools needs to change before any genuine benefits can be experienced by teachers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
