![]() ![]() ![]() The chapter on "labels harm children." Learning disabilities are a real thing. Giving a detention for not having a pen or looking out the window. My big question is similar to the Lemov question: is this sustainable, and is this possible to do at scale? In the United States many of the "no excuses" discipline places have been beset by revolts and problems after a few years and have retreated from that mantra.ġ. That said, a fun read with many interesting applications. I’ve just ordered the follow up book from the Michaela staff, because it’s always good to be challenged. 1) things that seem mad but I would love to see in practice, 2) things that make sense, but really challenge the rhetoric around ‘good’ teaching, and 3) things I want to try right now with my own students. The values at the heart of this institution, creating equity of education and cultural capital, kindness, gratitude, high and sustainable expectations are absolutely admirable.Īt a more micro level, I can separate the specific ideas in this book into x categories. What I love, is the no child left behind, everyone can do this ethos which seems to underpin the Michaela philosophy. It’s thought provoking in the best way a book that holds up ideas unapologetically, and asks you to think about your own values and assumptions critically. It’s A LOT to think about and in many ways it was really challenging to this teacher who not only trained, but was educated in ‘progressive’ values driven institutions. ![]()
