Same for "British Values" - and here was me thinking a key part of "British Values" was being tolerant and nice.

"Any man's death diminishes me,/ because I am involved in mankind." A great poem to teach alongside Priestley's 'An Inspectors Calls'. It's uncannily like "We do not live alone. We are members of one body".

@MrsMFteach @Team_English1 Macbeth's character trajectory goes from aural hyper sensitivity where every 'noise appals [him]' to deadened (deafened) sensibility: 'the time has been, my senses would have cooled to hear a night-shriek' but now nothing can 'start [him]'. This deadening sensibility...

@vlthornton @Bowtie_pedagogy @Team_English1 Hard agree, and to add, the Birlings are the titanic, very "pleased with themselves" (tellingiy, this is mentioned a few times) and the Inspector is the iceberg to sink or puncture their aristocratic pretences.

@MrsMFteach @Team_English1 LM as shrew: Macbeth is "valour's minion" which parallels LM's "I will chastise [Macbeth] with the valour of my tongue". Lady Macbeth turning her own domain into a domestic battleground where she can showcase her courage, unlike in the all-male battlefield. Words, not swords

I'm not talking specifically about Cushing and you may be right- I'm not enough of an expert to say - but it doesn't make sense to say no schools implement said research, therefore it is invalid/erroneous/disproven.
