A whole bunch of school leaders came to see @bedsfreeschool today. 97.1% attendance and immaculate behaviour, but colleagues still wanted feedback on “what are we missing?”

Thanks for coming and helping us get better.

The rhetoric, cost, vision, families, approach, and promotion are all about 100 years old, at Summerhill.

That’s still going and good luck to them. Because they aren’t trying to impose it on others or criticising others.

I find this combination fascinating:
- criticism of normal schools
- becoming millionaires
- repeating promotional materials later revealed to be lies
-refusing to engage with difficult questions
- using personal “brands” as sales
- maintaining one is the victim

"The apps are not great", the rest of the day is an expensive summercamp, and there are ~1000 pupils, paying up to $75k/year.

Someone grant me the confidence to then aim to expand a model that doesn't work to one million times as many children & claim ethical motivation.

This is pretty much the repeated message I got yesterday as people reacted to the Alpha announcements.

Grumpy thought: Most self-proclaimed 'learning scientists' are actually edfluencers who have never done any science!
Scientist: An expert in 1 or more fields of science who habitually uses scientific methods in carrying out scientific research to advance knowledge in the field.
