you know, being a wheatley graduate and all of the people that have come through wheatley, we were neverd we are not accepting a "c" now. while wheatley did improve to a "c", cashmere, the other high school in my district, went back to being an "f." >> i wanted to ask you about an incident that you spoke about publicly in the last few months about cashmere high school. apparently 90% of the students there were failing the math portion of the standardized test and you went to try to find out why, and it turns out there wasn't a certified math teacher at that school. >> yes. >> how is that possible? >> well, that's what you would have to ask hic. what i did was when i looked at why cashmere was failing, they didn't do well on the math portion of the standardized test. i looked further and found out they didn't have a certified math teacher in the last ten years at cashmere, and yet we were trying to improve cashmere. well, i don't know how you do that without sending certified math teachers over there, and the responsibility for sending certified math teachers over there rests with the sch

helen wheatley in were meetings.ime as those whatsapp messages that seems to contradict the story on the front page of the telegraph. it's an email that referenced the health department's wants to every ongoing into health, going into care homes. however the lack of tests available at that time meant that they cry over time meant that they cry over time those exiting hospital rather than those coming from the general community. this is the general community. this is the argument that matt hancock been making all morning . he been making all morning. he would have liked to everyone but giving limited resource says he prioritised tests from those leaving hospital . i suppose we leaving hospital. i suppose we will not know the real answers here until we see all of the data many tests actually were they available at that time and was it the advice ? sir chris was it the advice? sir chris whitty and sir vallance, that tests could be more available or as matt has been alluding to, was that this meeting that actually revise

noticed this phrase female genius floating around and then i i saw it actually applied to phyllis wheatley in this 18th century account about female geniuses in england, and it was at that moment. i started thinking wait. this isn't just a casual term. this is a word that has really a concept and a meaning and at that point the sort of arc of book began to form. so let me ask you about the phrase female genius because i think to you know a 21st century year. i don't know when we think of genius would we think of macarthur grants? i don't know we think of i don't know mensa and iq tests. that's a very 20th 21st century way of thinking about this, but you tell us that the phrase female genius indeed is a term of art of sorts, but it doesn't mean what we might assume it to me in the 21st century. it's a word that's that's changing meaning and genius is a word that's changing mean and genius is is in this moment going to mean more about capacity so we would think of capacity ability to do think we might think of intellectual capacity? we don't really have a term that quite captures this but it

many black people and anti-slavery advocates, poet phillis wheatley, who is writing in the colonies they adopt the language of this imperial struggle to point out this inconsistency and to make a case for their freedom and a case to end slavery. and we're going to be tracing the way that this dynamic develops as the movement for independence grows and fighting actually breaks in the revolutionary war. okay. so we have kind of that's of the way slavery is fitting into this this and we can talk more about that as go forward shifting back to moments of direct conflict, the next major incident between the colonists and british that comes up after the boston massacre also happens again in boston. in 1773 when a group of colony us who are disgued as native amerans, interestingly, boarded three ships in the harbor where they threw more th 300 chests of tea into the water, resulting in the loss of 10,000 gbp worth of property, which in day's dollars is roughly $4 million worth. okay, so a lot of property loss there. this is known today as the boston tea party. and the destruction s in response t

one was a woman named phillis wheatley, who was enslaved in boston, and another was a man named jupiterhammon, who was enslaved on long island. and people have read their poems and some were disturbed by them saying, well, just glad that that i had the opportunity to learn about christ and be christian. but other people have read their poems and they're actually they'll say and then on the next line they'll say but can you believe the people you know, who would be willing to do this? so i think was a little bit of kind of signifying going on, right? this idea of using the language of in order to protest the continued enslavement. and so that's the only way we would kind get to know. but you do see people like preaching -- and other people, their using that ability in order to get to freedom. so i do think there was and also you see it in court cases where enslaved people are look, you know, we're going to use this as a basis for freedom as well and equality not just, you know, not just to be freed from slavery. all right. let me look at where we're getting close to the end. i think you

and we saw just yesterday helen wheatley, the care minister, standing up in commons , standing up inon the shadow minister question by the shadow minister , liz kendall, saying producing actually an email that rather pushed back against some of the claims in the whatsapp sent from around the same time as the whatsapp spat, referring to greater context of these decisions that there was a limited number of tests for example, on this issue of testing care homes and that these need to be better targeted and not everyone could be and that not everyone could be tested just by a lack of resource. and so is going resource. and so there is going to and more context, to be more and more context, i think probably out from think probably dripping out from government around these messages. but clearly a farce . messages. but clearly a farce. amazing insight into the inner workings of government. what about the comments made by the then education secretary about teachers and how they just want an excuse not to be in the classroom effectively calling them lazy? is to them lazy? this is going to rea
