School scraps ‘racist’ hair rules as they’re influenced by ‘white supremacy’

[editor]

i do.

Yeah, I can see how you two could be kindred spirits. But no need to get too upset: he'll be back tomorrow so you can chat to him all you like then.

Can I just say those girls look totally rad. And the teach looks like a younger hipper brother of John Major.

Props.

It really isn't, decolonisation of the curriculum is very much a part of education these days. We've had a faculty seminar on it this year.

The latest British Education Research Association's magazine is a special issue on decolonising the curriculum...

Finally, that obnoxious twat Marty1 is gone. Thank fuck!

The state and it's legitimating institutions decolonises itself. Lovely. Looks like some money in it too.

Ones an outright knob and the other's semi-OK. But I'm not goint to tell you which is which.

I'm a bit of a knob tbf

 

[marty21]

I think I might owe Marty21 an apology.

I'm never the most attentive of readers on Urban75 so, in my head, I thought Marty1 and a Marty21 were the same person, and I remember thinking 'Why has Marty21 suddenly turned into a Spiked Spouting Shitehead Cunt?' I'm glad I never said anything.

Apologies Marty21.

I have been regularly tagged on his posts tbf

 

[butchersapron]

The pic looks like something flimsier - now heading up various independent schools or whatever the for profit places are called - would have done to make him look less creepy and ugh.

Imagine being in school and thinking a CEO/Headmaster was cool. You fucking knobheads.

Only a days break. I have a soft spot for his resilience tbh

Doh!!

I don't know anything about An Inspector Calls, but that looks good as well. I don't think it's so much about individual works being bad so needing changing, more a broadening of representation. Questioning 'the canon' (although The Color Purple is probably in that canon nowadays).

An Inspector Calls is, despite its genteel manners, a pretty savage indictment of the middle and upper classes. Self satisfied with all the trappings of wealth and attainment, underpinned by their do gooding, the family concerned are revealed to ruthlessly punish workers who organise and then to be sexual exploiters casually consigning the unseen heroine to despair through their prejudice and vanity. It’s a fabulous piece for A Level students to study. Never loses relevance.

Not that it isn’t good to mix the curriculum up a bit.

Yeah, reading up on it, I'm going to check out the film version.

It's pretty close to the bottom of my "to read" pile tbh so I couldn't tell you what they're saying.

Probably more status than money to made out of it. Which is likely more important.

I know you're doing bourdieu but he never once separated status from economics.

Fair.

I wouldn't want to either.

 

[Idris2002]

Ah ok. Interesting take.

I always assumed that the theft of children in Dirty War Argentina was a major inspiration for Attwood's book - and even if the women affected by that might not have been considered white in the USA, well. . .

The 2015 TV version with David Thewlis was decent. Probably on ITV3 as we write.

 

[Idris2002]

its an 11+ selected Grammar School is laughable.

Oh really?

Stares in Kwame Nkrumah.

Free yourself from mental slavery, butchers.

Those following him in in this stuff definitely do.

Indeed, it's so frustrating. There is that Savage book on class a few years ago that concluded that class is as important note as ever that keeps getting posted as if it says class is irrelevant. That's where that gets you.

I keep on thinking I should read that Pelican Savage book - not because I believe it will be any good but it's so often mentioned.

EDIT: Reopening another debate but this stuff feeds into the social mobility debate that was had on the Labour Leader thread.

i thought there was supposed to be a rule that people weren't allowed to join with similar names to existing posters, which ought to have ruled out this nefandous interloper.

Fuck's sake! Does that mean Ern now teaches at Eton?

It's a straightforward read and iirc has some helpful tables. I dip into it quite regularly.

...and, yes, definitely feeds into the social mobility discussion we were having.

Errrr Yes . . . ofcourse.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

I fail to see the point of banning someone like Matry1 just for one day!

TBF whatever their faults all the new Pelican books I've read have been clear and well written as primers. I might criticise the content but the style has been good.
