Laid back 'schools' programs,enviornment, arts,

Just sharing some thoughts I use to look at teachers working in the public school system with such awe, of how can they do this, year after year, were they even human? :) for years I wanted to do what they were doing, but couldn't and thought I must be missing a gene to be able to do that. No matter how I tried, and was focusing on the positive aspects... it simply did not work. I could not play the game. I would voice my opinons to the boss and principle, I could not keep my mouth shut. Rather… Continue

studying education

the interesting thing about studying to be a teacher is the way in which your thinking is shaped and directed by the academic model of thinking the restrictions inherent in instructing in a certain way of thinking and responding about "education", where creativity is intrinsically impossible due to the need for referencing and rubrics for grades are interesting to observe for example although you may briefly enter into how people learn at a shallow level, you would never even enter into territ… Continue

acting like a detective in a public school, taking my notes for change!

I have been on this journey working in schools that are part of the public school system. I am taking my notes of what I do like. I voice my opinion about things at one job,there, I have been the minority in that, or at least it seems to be like that so far. I got a new job, but they don't know I look at it as paid field work. I will be quiet and take my mental notes. I already went to one meeting, and the way they were all looking over tests scores, it was like a bunch of ants over a potatoe ch… Continue
