They work all hours, organise wonderful trips, create their own resources, produce professional quality theatre and musical extravaganzas . . . There is a moral imperative for those with families to achieve some kind of reasonable trade-off. Equally, individual teachers creating their own wonderf...

Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. We Need Good Schools to Help Us Become Good Teachers. April 15, 2015.

Towards a unified theory of negative capability. July 9, 2015. July 9, 2015. The Haptic Monk Says “Give”. 8220;I’m going to need bigger pockets.”. In a taxi, wending home, full of grumble, gripe and a general demeanour more akin to Victor Meldrew than my usual Father Furlong (ask anyone who knows me better than they would like), I tapped listlessly at my phone’s screen as silent as a haptic monk.
