-Tuesday 3rd December 2013 – Does it matter that the UK is not at the top of PISA rankings? Why has the UK science ranking slipped 4 places? Will the PISA findings change the way you teach? DfE YouTube video / Guardian article / OECD Key Findings.
@Ingotian @ukedchat @educationgovuk Children often act under compulsion – a sort of motive, if you like. Few Korean children enjoy school.

@crispinweston @ukedchat @educationgovuk Think yo're not thinking clearly about motivation. No-one does anything much without a motive.

@crispinweston @ukedchat @educationgovuk You think Korean kids aren't motivated? Surely you gest. It's the *only* think that is a must.

@Ingotian @ukedchat @educationgovuk 91-08. Motivation important of course but Korea shows it not necessary. & its rarely sufficient.

@crispinweston @ukedchat @educationgovuk QED. Quality of life is the purpose of all this.

@crispinweston @ukedchat @educationgovuk Good teaching is inseperable from motivation – when did you last teach kids, Crispin?

@Ingotian @ukedchat @educationgovuk Of course, I don't advocate copying Korea in this. But u need to do more than motivate – u need to teach
— Crispin Weston (@crispinweston) December 4, 2013
@Ingotian @ukedchat @educationgovuk On the contrary Ian. PISA shows that children in top-performers like Korea are not happy at school.

@crispinweston @ukedchat @educationgovuk One thing seems obvious. Motivating children is the real key and that is different in diff cultures

Saturday 29th November 2013 – How can sexism be combated in Schools? Have you had personal experience of sexism in school? Does your school actively engage to counter sexism? Read the Guardian article here.
@ICTmagic @MrsTwentyTom Statistically a lot of competencies and compromise agreements against older female teachers. Expensive to employ…

@ICTmagic older staff expensive, societal prejudice, caring responsibilities leave women vunerable. Youth overvalued #ukedchat
