Can students learn online? In a time of remote learning, where is the evidence?
#FarFromRemote, a study of student surveys from kids from 47 U.S. and international cities in the digital program Global Scholars, shows growth in student attitudes and behaviors.

Birthday of Georgy Zhukov, Marshal of Red Army, hammer of the Nazis. No saint but stood up to Stalin. Hitler might have won if USSR hadn’t changed war strategy. Zhukov too popular for Stalin to murder after WWII. #RadleyCollegeHistory #RadleyCollegeAcademic Removed sick Beria.

I’d agree. And I’ve never played chess. wired.co.uk/article/queens-g… #RadleyCollegeAcademic #RadleyCollege One to watch soon. Respect to the janitor.
#RadleyCollegeAcademic #RadleyCollege #coldxman Really interesting alternative view by African-American writer Coleman Hughes on best seller ‘White Fragility’. Are generalisations about any group ever helpful? city-journal.org/white-fragi…
‘Celebrating’ the birthday of the brilliant and undefinable William Blake. One of our finest artists. Champion of free thought and expression. #RadleyCollegeAcademic #RadleyCollege #RadleyCollegeArt Important - look him up. #RadleyCollegeHistory
November - time to celebrate the birthday of Voltaire. Brilliant, and irreverent scourge of bully ideologies. Read ‘Candide’ if you get a moment. #JohnLockeInst #RadleyCollegeAcademic #RadleyCollege Tyranny hard and soft needs resisting.
Excellent interview with Charlie Mackesy on US tv. @RadleyCollege #RadleyCollege @RadleyArtDept #RadleyCollegeAcademic Boys - take a leaf from his book - ! - and be kind to yourself. @charliemackesy #charliemackesy

If you haven’t read yet, I’d strongly recommend it. #RadleyCollege #RadleyAcademic @giles_fraser Giles is a very nuanced, gentle and interesting Anglican vicar. Heed his words or no one is safe from the wildly swinging laser beam of thought purity. Ask Robespierre...
Giles Fraser writing brilliantly and asking for a bit of human decency and self-knowledge: no one is without sin. @giles_fraser #RadleyAcademic #UnHerd #giles_fraser The Giles way or the Robespierre way in public discourse??? unherd.com/2020/06/how-cance…

Are things getting better or worse? We all have views, contingent on disposition and mood. So what’s the evidence? Pinker has written a lot on this. #RadleyCollege #RadleyAcademic

Pinker always worth heeding. S. Nossel worth reading: ‘proponents of social change have the strongest stake protecting speech that is unpopular, or even deemed dangerous’. Jacobinism in public life rarely ends well. #RadleyAcademic #RadleyCollege #RadleyHistory
Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN (writers' group): "Proponents of social change have the strongest stake protecting speech that is unpopular, or even deemed dangerous." Op-Ed: Those who exercise free speech should also defend it — even when it's offensive latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
