Our existing policy was phones off, locked in tutor rooms from arrival until end of day. We now have the pouches, which has all but stopped the regular offenders. Seems sensible, but can imagine a big change for some schools, going from possibly relaxed attitudes to zero tolerance.

The line between science fiction and science fact is getting thin. AI chips, autonomous systems, machines making decisions for themselves… suddenly the Terminator future doesn’t feel quite so fictional. The question isn’t whether we can. It’s whether we should.

Start of term: - new to teaching? - new classes and set lists? - new colleagues Getting a name right - for staff and students - matters. "If I can pronounce Daithí, Fiadh and Bloem correctly...." If you don't know, ask.

Nerves before the start of term? Obviously. Had them before every term since I started. But anxiety? Nah, let’s not get carried away. Sometimes nerves are just nerves. Sometimes nerves are just nerves. Not every bout of apprehension needs upgrading to ‘anxiety.’

When Grease came out in 1978, it was set in the summer of 1959. If Grease came out today it would be set in the summer of 2007. 2007 is now as much a period piece to 2026 as 1959 was to 1978. Let that sink in. 😭 But 2007 was only last week...

Last full day here, so we went for a walk. It was like Jurassic park. What a wonderfully complex and contrasting place New Zealand is. I feel like I've seen more contrasting climates, landscapes and scenery in 3 weeks than any other place I've visited..

Reflections from today: “It takes a village to raise a child." But let’s not ignore the other truth: it can also take a village to fail one.

Reflections: confirmation bias looms large in edu-discourse. If our likes and retweets mostly reinforce what our tribe already believes, how often are we genuinely challenging our own thinking?

Football selling out too far? It's been monetised for decades. Fans have been priced out by silly ticket prices and multiple TV subscriptions, while competitions like the Champions League have been expanded to maximise revenue... it all became a product while we watched.

I've realised over the last 48 hours that falling backwards and landing hard on your backside hurts a lot more in your (late, late) 40s than it ever did when you were 10.

Blocking doesn't always mean 'I can't handle being challenged.' More often it means 'I don't want to spend my time arguing with someone I didn't choose to spend time with.' 😏 Blocking is curation, not concession. Every invitation doesn't warrant an RSVP.

Thoughts this morning... Are you even really a London bus driver if you don't stop for a quick chat with the driver coming the other way....right in the middle of rush hour, while everyone else has somewhere to be?

It's fascinating how the release of The Odyssey has uncovered a previously unknown army 😏 of experts in Ancient Greek literature. Apparently quite a few folk have low-key been sitting on a PhD in Homer, waiting for this exact moment...

What better way to finish an exhausting and busy week, as we head off into half term, than by hosting a Qawwali evening (my first ever one). All the feels of an awesome Bon Jovi tribute concert for the aunties.
