I have spent most of my life at school
I have spent most of my life at school: I went to school; I went to university; I became a teacher; I served as Principal for 25 years.
Now, in retirement, I've gone back to school and earnt a Doctorate and now teach university students about Theology and English Literature.
I've always been something of a maverick in Education. I think that most of the experts get it wrong when it comes to education. I also think that there is a massive chasm between the concept of Education and the notion of schooling.
“I have a dilemma. I have two applicants for a position. One is a Christian, and a reasonable teacher, the other does not profess any personal faith, but is an outstanding teacher. Which one do I appoint?”
Many Principals of schools in the Christian and general independent sector will identify with this problem, and will have answered it themselves in various creative ways.
