poessay VIII:
educational behaviourism
teaching is a
conversation
between teacher and pupil between school and teacher
management of education
has shifted from collegiate sharing to hierarchical interview
without consultation
a velvet coup deep into the Heartland of Vocation – the desire to give Opening of Mind –
which has nullified teacher creativity and reduced learning to
controlled behaviour, which you can Have
dialogue is dissipated
communication devolves to
demand and consumption
there is no interaction
there is no communication
only mechanism
because mechanism is easily switched
and mechanism is easily measured
the more that communication is systemic and systematic
the more it provides springboard for pupils to define themselves
against
the inverse norm of behaviour in which individuals site themselves
and against which education must then try to
work
