The hellbound horror of GCSEs iandunt.substack.com/p/the-hellbo...

Once GCSEs started, that all ended. Education stopped being about learning and started being about passing exams. In fact, it barely counted as education at all. It degenerated into little more than a memory exercise. Can you take information from Source A - your revision notes - retain it, and then input it into Source B - the exam paper. This system produced very reliable exam results, which were used to promote the school to the next set of parents, but it did not produce, did not even aim to produce, people with a love of knowledge or a natural curiosity about the world. It was actually completely indifferent to curiosity. Speaking about it in that context would be like trying to insert Smarties into a slot machine.

At the point of GCSEs, we really do lose that greater educational virtue. We gain things - the work ethic, the need to perform - but we lose things too. And that loss, the complete absence of any genuine intellectual endeavor, is why GCSEs are often such a harrowing period.

Ordinary Abundance

A walk through a modern apartment, through the eyes of the people for whom everything in it was new.

Neil is right. I will never accept the fatalism of those who argue it cant happen or that the EU would never have us. I’m too ambitious for our country and continent to tow that line. And you should be too. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Neil Kinnock: Britain must rejoin the EU – it’s the patriotic thing to do

Exclusive: Former Labour leader says incoming prime minister should not be ‘constrained’ by party’s Brexit ‘red lines’ – and says those who ‘love their country’ will want to return to the bloc

What if Andy Burnham could raise £15bn – without a tax rise? There's one catch. He'd need to solve the UK’s biggest and least-discussed tax problem. Almost half of all small business corporation tax isn't being paid - and nobody knows why. Thread:

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.
