    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. Gerta writes about three domains of purpose: qualification,…

    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…

    Listening to RNZ and a report talking about how schools are failing the neuro divergent. 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…
