The @suttontrust finding coupled with how @Ofstednews framework is slamming disadvantaged and inclusive schools is a storm about to rage. A non-inclusive system encouraged and praised by accountability measures that reward creating cultures where not all are welcome.

Everyone talks about the same geniuses like: Einstein, Tesla, or Hawking. But for me, there's one man who stands head and shoulder above all. His work laid the foundation for Isaac Newton's theories. Here's the untold story: 🧵
