Louise this is one of your best and most important videos. You provide the perfect platform for Katharine Birbalsingh to explain and defend her inspiring vision. Education is the key battleground in the culture war.
As someone who graduated in 2017, with inner city liberal elite type upbringing, I’m baffled that anyone would take issue with her approach? What on earth have state schools been doing, my experience has this strictness as standard?!
John Taylor Gatto is an important person in clearing out all of this confusion. Our current schooling system is actually an indoctrination into progressive materialism. Thinking in terms of right and left creates the wrong type of dilectic. We need a Socratic education.
I'm a 12 year teacher and makes me sad when I hear Mrs. Birbalsingh talk about all her staff singing from the same choir book, because my experience is the opposite. I would love for all the staff I work with to be on the same page and have the same expectations/rules, but I know so many of them try to do as little as possible when it comes to phones/tardies/cursing/cheating, and then when I enforce the basic rules, kids revolt because 6 of their 7 other periods, their teachers don't care.
The teacher themselves fear her! She has moulded the teachers to mimic her! Her staff turnover are very high! Because Michaela has made name teachers come because they want it on there CV or on LinkedIn. When they see what it's about they run a mile. She makes them sign disclosures so nobody speaks. Everyone is scared of her!
I’ve been in education for a long time. I also held my students to very high standards of behaviour, courtesy, politeness and thinking and learning. Others would come into my classroom and marvel at not only how well behaved they were but how calm and happy they seemed. The routines were predictable. There was some mythology built around a few choice puppets to add some magic to their day. Student were and felt respected and so did I. The problem was usually parents but even that didn’t happen often. I love the way this woman speaks about what is truly good for children to strive, be happy and feel valued.
Wow. I love this lady. Mrs Birbalsingh is beaming with charisma, grace, knowledge, beauty and ladylike way of behaving. I love the way how she speaks, her accent, beauty, how natural (and not dictating) she is,m and the way how she describes her views in clear and understandable way. I bet she is a great wife and mother in her family. She feels like a lovable woman! I don't agree with all of her views but with mostbof them I totally agree.
3:35 *make massive progress through school* - what do you count as progress? Knowing how much change you get from buying an imported Egyptian spring onion, or being able to grow them in pots/garden/allotment?
All schools were like this in Australia in the 70s and 80s. And there was no religious divisions. We were all of European or Aboriginal heritage and we were all Christians. So we all said the Lord's Prayer. I first saw someone of noticibly different heritage in 1986. Thats how quickly it changed. 30% of Australian parents choose fee charging Christian schools and the number is growing as government schools detiriate and become increasingly multicultural.
Can you imagine children coming out of school thinking it’s normal to import blueberries from Peru yet not knowing how to grow one in Dorset, or Norfolk?
11:00 *the ritual of sitting down at the same desk to do your homework* - what if my homework is music practice? Our sport practice? A workout? Or picking blackberries to show you don’t have to spend £2.20 for about seven blackberries from Tesco express?
3:05 “I’ve always worked in the inner city all my life” - how has that influenced your approach to education? Would it be different if your worked somewhere else?
All you get is rhetoric. This isn’t hate on Katherine, she’s just a mouthpiece for the establishment. But spend a little time looking at the curriculum and you see that it is a curriculum that benefits powerful interests rather than, for example, our well-being or supporting biodiversity.
6:25 *children should be obedient* - define obedient? How can you have progress with obedience? How does your definition of “progress” relate to “obedience”?
look at confucianism and see what happens, people then don't develop any moral sense and rely on authority, including morality, like it's just rules and laws given out on a leaftlet, and in the west, it's by religion, institutionalising morality, making it state owned and people would never develop the own moral sense, and when they see the state beating people up, they wouldn't even reject or defend their fellow citizen, coz the state said so, state must be right, and that's morality to them
Er... how about the dictionary definition? Or just doing as your told? The school is her premises, the parents agree to the rules before sending their kids there. So they have to abide by her rules.
8:34 *self sacrifice for the sale of the whole* - the whole being… ? The economy? Also what is self-sacrifice? Self sacrifice means different things to different people, what do you mean by it?
I broke up with someone in the past because we had different values on parenting. He thought it should be softy softy and let them have everything they want and I was more about discipline. I got a glimpse of how this might play out with our cat (he just played with her and over fed her, while I was training her to behave and taking her to vets) and just saw a life of chaos. I only thought about how stressed I would be, but it didn’t dawn on me how much it would affect any kids we had due to the inconsistency. So glad I got out of that relationship. Dodged a bullet.

"some people say that Ice slam can't get along with other religions and I think they're wrong because of the families of our students I know.... btw all of our families specifically get briefed and knowingly opt-in to a deliberately secular school" Doesn't sound like the families at her school are a very representative sample then. She is terrific overall though but sadly it won't be enough. France has been doing assertive secular schooling and affirmative national values for decades and their situation continues to deteriorate. There's no way to dissolve en-aggregate the ethnic resentment , chauvinism and tribalism from moose slims and subsaharan africans.
Yes, first she admits there no actual Britons at the school, then she insists (despite this) that they all have a shared Britishness (regardless of their heritage & homelife) & that for this to be expressed no preference to Actual British heritage, like British Christianity can be given. & at 45:40 we get a description of the reality of the operation of Islam, rather than the select behaviours of her families who have agreed to curtail their Islam to have their child attend the school. There way be a sizable part of the Ummah that can & do live like her mentioned families but in any argument about 'what is Islam' they will lose to those, whatever their size, who stick unwaveringly to the fundamentals.
People need to speak to the parents and Children outside the school setting! She controls the children out of fear! She gets excellent results but its what Ms. Birbalsingh thinks she is superior! She loves the sound of her own voice. Children from her school that dont score a 8 or 9 cannot join her 6th form. Those kids who get below this have to go elsewhere. Go over to the Arc Academy (wembley park) 6th form and speak to some of the kids that have come from Micheala.The child never has to worry about the child bullying. Its how the teachers bully and speak to the child. She believes in sliencing a child. Very dangerous school. I have heard many children saying this school is unfair. They would never say it to you because they are scared! This women talks about parenting she is a Single Parent herself she does not practice what she preaches! It would be interesting to speak her Son.
10:18 *taking notes saying oh I’m going to take that idea* - are you suggesting that teachers have autonomy with the curriculum? Does this contradict what you said “all teachers follow the rules here”
@@sjd885 They're taking notes on ideas that can be helpful ways to teach in the classroom. The curriculum is fixed by the ministry of education,if it's a state school.

So imagine your daughter is at school. You can’t afford home school (cause you work) or private school, or to move or emigrate. Your daughter finds school really boring, and you’d like the school to appeal to her motivations, her interests and learning preferences more. What you gonna do?
@@sjd885 Why do you assume her teachers are teaching in a boring way? She strikes me as a very interesting, spirited,passionate person.

Or I'd try and make learning interesting myself for her at home. I'd write secret notes for her if she's learning to read- or stg like that.
Listen to your teacher, everyone... Western society is essentially supposed to be: conservative/Libertarian; which means, strong civil society, and smallest possible government (at any given time). Western society is not supposed to be: Conservative/libertarian; which means, oversized and overbearing government, coupled with a weakened civil society. KB has reforged conservative society in a microcosm, out of molten lava, and voluntary human labor. It's up to us to replicate her experiment, in the macrocosm-laboratory of the larger society. The good news is, hers was already a replication study. So c'mon ppl, we can do this, it's like riding a bike.
Louise perry's weird obsession with muslims stood out to me in this interview. I was hoping to learn more about this fantastic school but she just kept trying flip the headteachers dialogue into her own islamophobic rant.
Most of the interview was about the school in general, discipline, values, how the school was set up, educational strategies etc. At the end they discussed how a Muslim girl recently threatened the existence of the school. It was explained that the school couldn’t be what it is if the school was forced to meet her feelings of entitlement. Then members of the local community racially abused and threatened teachers. Why shouldn’t they be talking about that too?
3:40 *and in fact the last two years running we’ve had the top progress* - define progress? Is spewing curated ‘facts’ like a robot encyclopaedia progress?
10:03 *when we first opened we had conversations around would this work, would that work* - did you have conversations about why you wanted to do that? Reasons beyond getting “great behaviour, great teaching, great values”?
Yeeeees the women who asks children to only stand for her when she walks into a room has a problem with them bowing for a God. She sees heself as a god.
There is no progress without spirituality. Defining success from material success only is what led to many of the issues that have led to decline of the West. The fact that Louise does not see the level of self contradiction in holding this interview and supporting curtailing of a spiritual life for a child is mind boggling,
8:50 *they’re all the values that we teach” - how are you defining teach? Cause it seems like you take vulnerable kids and force them to do these things
The ritual of standing up when I walk in the room. They do not have to stand up for other teachers but for me, the headmistress. They will not pray because I do not have a religious life, Infact I see myself as a god, my name is British's strictest headmistress. And you stand and bow for me. Never for another God
For the longest time, students stood for their teacher. My parents grew up in Eastern Europe and they stood. Gentlemen stood for ladies. It’s a sign of respect. Our society has lost that. She stated very clearly that she is not against prayer. She explained that for practical reasons it didn’t work in her school. There are other schools that offer that option.
She thinks she is God! She thinks everybody must bow down to her! She is a control freak. She to control me and when she couldn't she called me a "bad parent" This women is beyond evil She likes to shout that her parents from the Carribean to mask up. promotes the idea of multiculturalism, but her understanding of it seems detached from reality. Despite her claims of diverse heritage, her approach often feels disingenuous, and it appears that she lacks genuine insight into the complexities of racial and cultural identities. This disconnect can lead to harmful misconceptions, such as the belief that minority students 'play the race card' to navigate challenges in life. She is spreading a false narrative about this school.
