    To respond to the content of this course, I have chosen a video. I am so delighted that there was an opportunity to respond to the content of this course in an artistic way. I have been so impressed with the style of teaching and learning in this course. I think it is a better…

    I will investigate starting a charter school so I can ‘teach’ in the way I think is democratic and doesn’t undermine children. It will be hard – I am terrible at paperwork. An experimental school. A friend started a Montessori school in Porirua and has just been EROed and is all legit.

    What constitutes a knowledge system (KS)—the attributes and characteristics? I can not do this in a timely manner – the idea needs to circulate around my head for a bit to understand it. Right now, I am putting it through a lens of libertarianism, which is a worry! that idea of individual responsibility. the assumptions…

    I am hoping this is a localised example. This conversation occurred in a car when my daughter and I could not look at each other – often I feel more stuff comes out when your hands are busy, when the brain is doing a side task. This is the jist of the conversation. daughter: I…

    I often find on first meeting something I will reject it quickly and then on second meeting I can be more open…. like kids and introducing something new, eg fussy eaters (space to warm up to idea).  This is similar to a Stiener idea about sleeping on it: introduce a topic, then wait until the…

    I got sidetracked by Lane’s book – I read it years ago, the bits about babies. I had a thing for old books and fusty writing. ….. but that they (students) learn something, that they learn it for a reason, and that they learn it from someone.

    I have just been listening to RNZ talking about research done on Plunket and how mothers were in fear of judgment. They met a list of questions and felt assessed and judged as parents. I opened the listener to a page titled Schools for Thought, and the first sentence was about how good it is…

    I knew you didn’t have to go to school until 6 and that you could stay at Playcentre until 6, so it was a no-brainer to stay as both of us loved Playcentre. Then at 6 my child said she wouldn’t go to school and I couldn’t make her. There was another hoo ha at…

    …teachers should teach and accept that they do not necessarily know what it is that children learn from their teaching. This is a form of negative power, refusing to try to know what children learn, accepting that they will learn something of importance to them…… I have always felt that what I know, think, and…
