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.' "On Teaching: Uncut," 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.

Industry Reviews

"These well-written, extremely readable articles challenge both orthodoxies and cant. 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"
