Hi paul178. The method I used to get my students remember the Black Hole of Calcutta you would need a risk assessment nowadays!

I sense the whole class nodding off, so I’ll repeat the comment I made in the Telegraph to the Telegraph article: Because of the way Michael Gove chose not to consult from the beginning, we have not even begun to have a proper debate. Just clichés: either facts or interpretation; either Churchill or Mary Seacole; either British History or World History; either chronology or themes; either Gove’s way or Marxism; either remembering details or studying in depth. What’s wrong with consensus, and why wasn’t Michael Gove seeking one from the beginning?
