Honoured to be gracing the walls of the most tidy office I have ever seen 🙂

Yes! - ‘don’t work until you get it right, keeping working until you can’t get it wrong’ is what I always say to my kiddos.

An important question, which this very short blog was not designed to address. However, I do tackle this in depth in an old blog…
BLOG: What is an education for?

Totally agree with your blog. I think of education in this way too, opening doors, or expanding the view from a window, not limiting it.

Every time I hear someone suggest dropping classical music I want to scream.
Find the connection - almost every kid loves a movie with classical music in the soundtrack, but they often haven't realised.
Show them e.g. the baroque influences in Queen.

This quote sums up education in this country for decades, just change knowledge with the next 'big thing'.
"they wear the badge of knowledge, but underneath, the intellectual foundations are often shallow. What they call knowledge is too often conflated with resources, schemes, or slogans".
