Frank and Stan Chat No.161

Timing is very important in ensuring we get the right guest at the right time. In the world of Frank and Stan Chat much of this is down to luck. Today's edition is a good example because the night before this edition Co-operative UK, the organisation that Rose Marley is CEO won the Business of the Year Award at a glitzy Manchester venue. Rose is a great guest because she raises important points for education drawn from non-education events. A good example is the way she considered the apology from the Police regarding the arrest of protestors at the Sarah Everard vigil. She explains how protest is important, how various governments have tried to restrict it and how this approach leans into education. The chat rolls on to school uniform, the place of cooperatives in academic studies at school, the place of the MBacc, the need for a wide experience for students including skills, the importance of whistleblowing and why it should be encouraged, why the death of BTECs is a crime for some poorer and lower attaining students and a host of other things. It's a cracking chat. Frank and Stan are lucky to know these wonderful guests who add so much to our weekly discussions. Enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
