    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.…

    (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. It’s interesting to read this while studying at school, in this instance,…

    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…

    Is this the name for the reason I hate “we are learning to..” or WALT. I think it tells a child that whatever they get out of any activity isn’t as important as what the teacher wants them to get out of an activity… I don’t want a child to think that. With the example…

    I have written my assignment several times, and I always degenerate into a rant and a list of questions. So I am writing this so I can feel that it is written and I can focus on answering the brief! Please excuse the bad writing, I write to sound like myself, and I prefer Oratory…

    Oh how, I have ranted over learning objectives with all my rebelious “I will learn what I want streak” and now here I am writing an assignment which has all the hallmarks of what I think forces good learning and I am lost, afloat… I hate that I would write to a detailed rubric just…

    I have read a lot of words over the past few days, honorable, hopeful words. Te Hurihanganui, Tirewa Mātāmua are excellent, but how can we implement them in our current school model and society? Our schools need to change more, much bigger changes – eg: why do we persist with age grouping, eg year 5s…

    I am so loving this, (Matike Mai, and that awsome speech) I am having excited, hopeful thoughts. I tried Maori and the state but the language goes over my head! Some of my ancestors left Scotland (from the border where the relationship between the Scotts and the English was fraught) to escape their colonisation, others…
