There are different kinds of people – I don’t know if this is genetic, due to neuro divergences, or upbringing. This doesn’t matter as much as the fact that they exist. There are just people who are happier if the…

    Think about times in your own education experiences when you decided that you wouldn’t know something when it was well within your power to know it. Why did you make that decision? If you haven’t yet practised negative power, can you foresee a situation in which it will be necessary? Why so? I think more…

    general idea: 1- This is reductive in that magpies collect the bits of other cultures/knowledge systems that they like ‘and disregard the rest’ (Simon and Garfunkel 🙂). 2 – A knowledge system is opt in. I realise that it is harder to opt out but people do. Responsibility of the individual? This implies we are all…

    I have to read the articles a zillion times to understand them. One has a sentence that has so many lines long that I forgot the content at the beginning… It is trying to keep hold of the meaning of some of the unusual words while thinking about the sentence’s meaning at the same time.…

    Have a listen to Suze Wilson talking about the interpellation of women and the role of the state and conformity to an ideal – to feel comfortable. She also touches on the backlash towards the “other.”

    (on Against school: an epistemological critique) Including french….. ‘essence and raison d’être of the school is, in fact, normalisation’, …..In other words, the school, and education as currently conceived and represented by the school, as a site of equity, is a lost cause.

    My kid is unschooled… I let her choose her direction of learning. Then, I have to justify this to all the other people in her life. I have been writing a blog on my child’s learning JOURNEY (vomit) in the hope that others see how good homeschooling is and how my kid is still becoming…

    When you are working with your students in class, what do you feel about the source of power that is legitimating what you are doing?  I hated it so much that I no longer teach in a classroom. People are kidding themselves if they think they do not do the work of the government. Egg…
