Inspiration!
I have just read a blog by Annie Agnew entitled “Some thoughts to ponder”. My favourite quote was the one by Tom Peters. It read:
I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. A school curriculum that values questions above answers…creativity above fact regurgitation…individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance….. And we must reject all notions of ‘reform’ that serve up more of the same: more testing, more ’standards’, more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy. Tom Peters Author ‘Re-imagine’.
I think this is an inspiration and motivation to beginning teachers like myself. It gives us a sense of hope of what can be achieved by us and other teachers in the future.
