For me as someone who loves my subject can completely understand @EnserMark reasons for the part time work at alpha. I myself am intrigued and would be feel challenged by such a project on a part time basis. @EnserMark thanks for sharing

Brilliant substack by @New_Old_Paul something for us all to consider about our impact on education when we attempt to communicate science. We have a responsibility.
Knowing about learning doesn't make you a learning scientist, any more than knowing about medicine makes you a medical scientist. If saying this makes me a grumpy old man, so be it; I can provide ample empirical evidence to support that title. kirschnered.nl/2026/11/12/eve…View quoted post on X
One thing I find interesting to my knowledge there have been no "edu-celebs" move to alpha 'yet' who are still in schools teaching. With alpha and oracy up for debate at the moment perhaps its no longer prog vs trad. Its consultant vs teacher.
With so many people i admire joining alpha school i am genuinely worried about our teaching profession as if they do 'make it work' there may be no profession left for us. Its an interesting moral dilemma.
