Roots and Wings

Formal. Informal. Formal.
Apprenticeships. Polytechnics. Universities. Perfect for some. Imperfect for most.

New thinking required. Take down the Gove and start again. Is Primary Education just a cheap child minding service? Is Secondary Education just a cheap form of prison provision? If we organise for the herd the outliers will roam free either quietly daydreaming or wrecking the classroom.

There are two lasting gifts we can give our children: one is roots, the other is wings. Until we can satisfy those needs, with the flexibility of emphasis, there will always be problems.

Status quo always wins. We’re missing the beat.
