My fad is your philosophy: "The social sciences too often make the mistake of equating their research methods to those of Science - that can simply never be the case. The human-ness of education as a social activity will always, happily, leave lots of room for innovation, for compassionate response to situations, for philosophical (and even ideological) influences on practice, for simply trying out ideas from wherever they might be culled."
Interesting and thought-provoking response to Estelle Morris's calls for evidence-based education - and captures a lot of my discomfort with the arguments put forward by people such as Morris - and earlier, Hargreaves and Ravitch.
