Individual liberty requires individual responsibility
Politics
Freedom > oppression

lack of apparent humour precludes good teaching practice

you tube
Far Side
film clips
music
Praxis, a pedagogy that requires:
the individual form themself, rather than be formed
that students do more than simply reproduce the words that already exist
that students create their own words
and that a deep reciprocity be inserted into our notions of teacher and student
Goals
Sustainability is the capacity of a system to engage in the complexities of continuous improvement consistent with deep values of human purpose. Fullan

Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the ‘practice of freedom’, the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. Heinlein
Responsibility
Your procrastination will not become my emergency
Excellence is internally derived, not externally defined
We are about as happy as we decide to be...hydroplane over the crap
Learning, not grades
Find the landscape that resonates and renews you
We learn when we engage
We engage in things that are relevant to us

Pick a number between 1 and 9
Multiply it by 9
Add the two digits together
Subtract 5
Transpose the number to a letter, where 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, etc.

With the last letter of your country pick an animal
With the last letter of your animal, pick a colour

If I tell you, you have been told, you do not know.
Discover and find out for yourself, then you will have learnt.
