I took up teacher training straight from school - probably cause school was all I knew.
After 2 years of it I realised this wasnt my vocation. However, at teacher training colledge, all efforts were on best learning experiences for our future pupils.
But the suppression of creativity, as in this sad little song shows up in all areas of society, not just with schoolchildren.
So many chances to make a change by 'smaller' characters are trampled by the louder majority Such is life
Wow, great song, voice and vid! How sad the boy could not see he could be himself with the new teacher or maybe he came around. Sure is a good lesson anyway!
I certainly did not think about this particular issue in that way before and it opened some serious discussion for me on this topic.
