I don't actually know who 'Carol Dweck' is.

Understanding what you are talking about is entirely optional in this thread.

 

Personally I find it an advantage in life generally.....

I don't know.   I'm blissful in my Dweck ignorance.

What I find fascinating is your total refusal to even consider that it might be you ; that it might be your attitude, your posting style and content.

It requires quite gloriously high levels of self delusion.

Yep, if it was just me saying your ideas are 'sh1te' then fair enough ; but virtually every poster thinks your ideas are sh1te (or trivial).

 

Autismuk, darling, what a joy to see you here.

Now.  Where were we.  Oh yes, I was chatting the other week with the right honerable member for Cardiff West, aka the shadow minister for schools, about the issues associated with teachers providing high quality education.  As well as discussing the barriers which prevent high quality education, we talked about some of the newer media which facilitate it, such as Teachers TV and discussion forums.

Of course Gove has shut down the former.  It was interesting to discuss (as is, of course being discussed on opinion) that there appears to be a co-ordinated conservative strategy to dominate discussion forums and social media with right wing dogma and to crush both discussions and contributors who may pose a threat to tory views and so to disable the latter too.

Mr Brennan did ask me to email him with more information about this.  

I haven't yet, but if you were to continue here on this thread you would make it ever so easy for me to do.

oh dear.  will the seriously nasty baddies descend now?

 

a p155poor threat, but a threat all the same

Obviously.

Quite what Mr Brennan will do, or what becka thinks he'll do I don't know. Unless he's got the IQ of a plant he's not going to take this 'coordinated Conservative strategy' seriously, especially given that a fair few of the objectors are fairly obviously left-of-centre (shall we say), certainly not staunch Tories !

But bring him on, I say.

Maybe I'll contact him anyway. His email is on his website (www.kevinbrennan.co.uk). He seems an okay sort of chap - also an ex teacher (of Economics up until 1995)
