There has been some very recent (June 2016) heat surrounding the Euro 2016 football games and decisions to either allow schools to close or stream the matches live during school time.  I for one have two children who were both effected by this idea of closures.  I want to highlight my thoughts on the football […]

After reading a few articles I came across some interesting data freely available in cyberspace. It came to my attention that the public perception of cyber security is somewhat skewed. The larger companies are not disclosing their most serious security breaches. We all know that many people tend to shop online. This is because of […]

Today’s men have become the next generation of fathers and now our modern-day father takes many different forms and roles (American Psychological Association, 2013). No longer are fathers being ‘relegated to a role of disciplinarian’, they are now enjoying a more involved, hands-on ‘nurturing role’ (Wilson, 2002). This brief essay aims to examine one of […]

I think most parents will understand the Naughty Step technique (Parenting Style) and I know I have certainly used it with my two girls.

I find myself reflecting upon my experiences teaching GCSE Mathematics to mature students at an FE college since the year of 2012. Many of these students are returning to study to develop a career for themselves and gain a more positive future both independently, and financially. Many have left school with few qualifications and GCSE […]

It never started off like I have it now… Working long hours, unsocial hours, arriving back late, missing evening dinner, missing the school runs, working weekends… and to what end? What about when we are not at work… school runs, after school activities, homework, making evening dinner, eating quickly making sure we have enough time […]
