Spoke to @Anthem_Online about the campaign, and why social science is as important as 'hard science'!
Great news. This is a much fairer system. We know the current system disadvantages students from BAME and lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Worth a couple of weeks of stress in the long run.

"Sociology’s orientation to the past tends to be based around an implicit consensus on the emergence of modernity as a consequence of developments in the West ... the historical record is different to that found within standard sociological understandings" thesociologicalreview.com/th…

August seems like years ago but everything I said in here is still applicable.. in fact, it becomes more so every day. Get on the retweeting case, we need more signatures!!

What are your thoughts on the risk versus benefits?
“There is really clear evidence that not being at school is a big disadvantage to children and has mental health impacts.
“On balance of risk for children in our view, is firmly for children to be at school.”
@CMO_England, Chris Whitty in the Science and Technology Committee
Teachers - has this impacted the content you include in your sociology lessons? thelondoneconomic.com/politi…

Thinking about the ethnographic studies that could be being conducted by young sociologists in student halls across the land...

Really excited to be working with The Sociological Review. They're doing a 'sociology in schools' month during August. There's some really interesting stuff on there so go and check it out, and give the SotS blog a retweet!

That's exactly what we're campaigning for. These are invaluable, undervalued skills which should be framed as parallel to adding, subtracting, spelling, writing, listening, reading, speaking, thinking...
Actually, I think everyone should be taught CRITICAL Sociology - it teaches you to question, interrogate, challenge, and ask for evidence - and not accept anything at face value! #CriticalThinking
Sociology teachers: do you teach about reflexivity in your lessons? Do you have the time? Do you think it matters?
💥 NEW BLOG POST 💥 @vickiewaisx on questioning the white, middle-class gaze

Looking forward to publishing the second #soconsyllabus blog by another fellow sociology student and enthusiast @vickiewaisx on Tuesday. Media is the focus of Vickie's writing and she shares how she gained more from studying sociology than any other school subject.
Out of interest, does anyone know of an ex-sociology student who regrets choosing to study sociololgy? If so, it would be good to find out why that was #staycritical

Excited to announce that we have our first blog post. My exceptional fellow Sociology (back in the day) coursemate Marrianne provides a critical take on the lack of critical thinking she was taught in school. Any thoughts, get in touch.
