Self-education at primary ages fascinating

More stimulating educational models in practice

Here's another great post from Ewan, with a link to the MET school here. The models are out there to show the way our childrens' experiences of growing up, learning, growing etc. could be.

Amateur or professional?

Great debates are had about these terms. Rugby. Cycling. Medicine and Alternative Medicine. Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia. This article by Ewan McIntosh gives another perspective on it in education, and some good links. I'm more and more convicned that the traditional definitions of professionalism are definitely getting wobbly. but also convinced that we mustn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. This shouldn't be an either or arguement, but a where next one.
