aghh – we’ve been infected
it’s spreading through the system
we’re losing our files …
it’s taken out the processor …
I, I can’t open with this program anymore …
it’s scanning me –
I’ve got to buy a Virus Protection Program
from it …
we process education
and pupils get measured
we condition education
and pupils find their selves
defined or confused
we target education
and pupils lose their trajectory
we measure education
and pupils believe it
we make education relevant
and pupils get bored
we sloganise education
and pupils wear uniforms
we teach education
and pupils ‘don’t get it’
we teach learning in education
and pupils just remember
at best or not
we train ourselves in education
actually we don’t anymore
we workshop education
and pupils fill out forms
we expect in education
and pupils leak like water
here and there a teacher teaches
and a pupil learns
but that soon stops because everyone
is too busy
we teach, pupils learn … something
but there is no
education
I published this a while ago and no one noticed it – it probably went in to most peoples’ spam box; as I go through my haemorrhage from school some of these pieces will re-surface, I’m afraid … wait ’til you see ghosts with opened wounds again – it’s coming, can’t you hear it rattle; ‘well no, that’s the whole point!’ …

I think, oh, I don’t know, maybe ‘school’ would be a good idea; not some box of tricks that makes someone else’s career

I have a curious 14 year old who loves to learn but doesn’t love school. Such a waste!

… it won’t be long, now, before getting an education will be like getting a loaf of bread – the bottom-line means of living; hopefully this will free learning to soar …

it’s “Free As a Bird” by the Beatles – the video is beautiful if you know anything about the Beatles, actually, even if you don’t; it might be a ‘region’ thing – there are STILL boundaries, boundaries everywhere even in t’up ‘net
