“We can look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Our children need to be fed, and they need to be loved, and they need to feel safe, and they need to feel that the world is wonderful. They need to be surrounded by people that see the wonder in the world around them. If their basic needs are met, and they are in a condition in a comfortable community of learners where the teachers and the students there, they share the emotional connection to knowledge, and they’re given space in their learning to envision possibilities in different directions than their teacher’s initially imagined they would.”
Gillian Judson, Education that inspires is what we’re after, robhopkins.net, 26/02/2018
Formal education should not shut people down, it should open them up. Education systems should be inspiring young people to dream big and then empowering those dreamers with the skills to make the world a better place.
I never wanted to be a teacher. Seeing how downtrodden most of my schoolteachers were always made me think a person must be crazy to want to be a teacher! I can also remember a school assembly when the most miserable of the deputy heads told us to stop dreaming, get real and accept the fact that we wouldn’t ever amount to much in life.
An unintelligent and uninspired education system has a knock-on effect… it feeds into the status quo and you end up having an unintelligent and uninspired society, and we all end up suffering as a result.
This is the module where I started to explore all the wide and varied ways in which the schooling system can transform students into innovative learners with brave voices, bold ideas and imaginations that will not stop.
