Items related to Bad Education: The Guardian Columns
Phil Beadle has been described as 'the scourge of education policy makers' and also as a prolific writer of articles challenging the status quo in education. Bad Education is an anthology of some of his best writings from his column, 'On Teaching,' published in the Education Guardian Magazine in the UK. Written in his trademark simple, luminous, and down-to-earth style, this collection is a wry look at more or less every element of educational change in the UK over the last five years. And, this uncut version crucially leaves in all the jokes that the editors had previously cut out! A must read for educators throughout the world.

About the Author:
Phil Beadle is an English teacher, a former United Kingdom Secondary Teacher of the Year in the National Teaching Awards, and a double Royal Television Society Award winning broadcaster for Channel 4's The Unteachables and Can't Read Can't Write. He writes a column called On Teaching for Education Guardian.
Review:
Phil Beadle's well-written, extremely readable articles challenge both orthodoxies and cant. They show the effects of the solutions in search of problems to which the education profession is constantly afflicted and they cry out for evidence-based policy to underpin the work of schools. Phil Beadle always imbues the latest crazy top-down policy with timeless bottom-up good sense and wit. This is a book to be read, dipped into, and returned to again and again. But, above all, a book to be read by all who have the interests of young people and their teachers at heart. --John Dunford, chair, Whole Education, chair, WorldWide Volunteering, chair, Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors
This is Phil Beadle at his feisty, acerbic best. He surveys the current educational landscape and leaves it scorched and smouldering, taking on attention-seeking politicians and madcap theorists and putting them firmly in their place. It's a book that's full of humor, provocation and untarnished common sense - and which fights the all-important cause of good teachers and their pupils. Bad Education is written with his trademark passion and exuberance. Time and again, he reminds us why we chose to become teachers, cutting through all the clutter and distractions that can mar our day-to-day work. Keep a copy close at hand for the times when the world of education seems to have gone mad, which is rather too often these days. --Geoff Barton, Headteacher, King Edward VI School
