The name “Harrison-Mattley” was one that was familiar to me, for some reason, and I couldn’t figure out why. I thought maybe I’d met him at a conference or something, but digging around on the net I’ve discovered why I know the name and it might explain a bit about the man. He wrote an article in 1985 on discipline in a journal called ACES Review (which I was a keen reader of, and which I also contributed to).
ACES was the Australian Council for Educational Standards. It was a small body, something of a fringe body (and I say that as somebody who was a member of it, although not one who was blind to what it was).
