The problem I've found as a non-conformist teacher is that changing my classroom just doesn't work in the system, as my students simply trudge off to class when the bell goes, and when I'm forced to give national assessments.<br /><br /> A school in Brisbane, Australia (Booroobin), based on the Sudbury Valley model, was sadly closed down by the government due to "not having a curriculum, therefore cannot be classified as being a school". It brought me to tears.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-67227320233254536462010-04-25T03:06:05.429-06:002010-04-25T03:06:05.429-06:00You don't have to get Education Reform right. ...You don't have to get Education Reform right. <br />Right Education Reform <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_Valley_School" rel="nofollow">is already here</a></b>. <br />I invite you to see <a href="http://www.sudval.com/" rel="nofollow">this school</a>.Davidhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_Valley_Schoolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-46127237543451915422010-04-06T10:52:41.426-06:002010-04-06T10:52:41.426-06:00Sadly, everything you wrote here is true.

That shocks me because whenever critics of education want us to be more like business, they say it's about getting tough and kicking out the bad teachers, holding people accountable, etc. Meanwhile, I keep finding management and human resources writers who talk about communication, empowerment, independence, trust, team-building, etc. My current favorite is Bob Sutton, if anyone's interested.David B.
