Authentic Education

Education is an area of particular interest to my husband and I. My husband teaches in a Sixth Form College and I teach study skills and motivation to students in schools. It is for this reason that I have decided to support Neil Crofts initiative on 'Authentic Education.' Neil is challenging all of us, who are unhappy with how children are educated in England, to come and participate in a meeting on April 12 in London.

He poses the following question:

If you were going to design a system for preparing children for adulthood from scratch and after a great deal of work you ended up with the one that we have at present - would you be satisfied?

If your answer to that question is - no!

The next question is what are you going to do about it?

One thing you can do about it is check out Neils web site at:

and then decide if you wish to participate or not.

We can make a difference - one step at a time.

Love

Ellen
