What did you learn this week?
While waiting in the reception of my daughter's school on Thursday I picked up a copy of a recent inspector's report which detailed some of the highlights of the curriculum:
(1) Pupils learn about Edwardian social attitudes in order to understand the motivations of characters in [i]An Inspector Calls[/i].
(2) Pupils research the health, social and cultural benefits of their favourite sport/physical activity.
(3) Pupils learn about neurodiversity and how much more colourful and interesting the world can be when we try to include rather than ignore marginalised and vulnerable groups in society.
Meanwhile, in the 'adult' world I learned:
(1) That the latest 'upgrade' to the Teams app is incompatible with our company's network.
(2) Investor confidence in our products remains low partly as a result of incinsistent and indecisive central government policy (because Conservatives would rather send asylum seekers to Africa and regulate rickshaws in London than focus on boring financial legislation).
(3) Our most important client is an unpleasant narcissist, but we have to pretend they are not because they have a lot of money (actually I knew that already).
I'm going to see if I can register for school next year 馃槍
