The privilege of being straight is that you never have to look for these symbols. You don’t have to wait for someone to clock you or your partner, and wait to see how they’ll react. It is easy when you’ve had that privilege to eye-roll about symbolism and how unnecessary it feels…

Really enjoying reading the Impact journal with a cup of tea (the joys of slowing down over half term). Great to have a clear recognition of the shift towards adaptive teaching as the most inclusive approach. What should I do with my All/Most/Some and Gold/Silver/Bronze lesson resources now?!

"There once was a time. Before television. Before motion pictures. Before radio and books. The greatest part of human existence was spent in such a time. And then, over the dying embers of the campfire, on a moonless night, we watched the stars." - Carl Sagan

Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries. This is just ChatGPT, not even all Gen AI. Using more electricity than >60% of the world.
