After nearly 20 years in teaching I, like many other teachers atm it seems, am seriously questioning whether I want to stay in the profession. I am pretty much hating it right now.
But my dissatisfaction with the horrible data-obsessed, hoop-jumping mess seems to have brought on a kind of educational existential crisis in me (self-indulgent, I know).
So my question is, if you could invent a school system totally from scratch, as though schools had never been invented before, what would it be like? What subjects would be taught? How would you group kids pastorally? What life skills would you teach and how?
