Ok Oak haters here we go:

1 I DARE you to watch my videos and tell me they are poor quality.go for it. Yes, they feature a talking head. Because I talk from my head. Like other humans.

2 differentiation...what type? I'd like to see anyone "differentiate" a *remote* video for *students you don't know* better. Good luck chief. In fact check out my video here for an example of how we tried to get around that

3 God grant me the confidence of someone who thinks that teaching 16% of schools is bad performance. That's like a zillion kids. FFS.

4 I love how we are denigrating Oak and lionising Bitesize. Do you think Bitesize did all that work for free? Someone paid for it! YOU paid for it! Was there a tender? No? OH MY GOD SWEET HEAVENS BITESIZE ARE IN ON IT TOO

5 seriously throughout this the haters have been clutching at the flimsiest of straws. It's getting to the stage where charitable readings of their behaviour are close to impossible.

6 to my mind, Oak is one of the greatest education achievements of the last 50 years, up there with researchED, project follow through and the like.

7 if you're against:

Less workload for teachers
More resources and choice for students
Teachers just getting on with it

Then what are you for?
