I have to agree. I while back Eva asked how we could get more teachers
of the type who would include Allanis Morrisette in their signatures
and I did not respond because I don't believe there is a way to
organize a structure to produce people who would be willing to live
with the stress and ambiguity of working within a system and, at the
same time, rejecting it.(Whew!)
I sometimes feel like a ghost at a dinner party when I go into the
teachers' lounge. How can I talk to these people who are so invested in
the current structure of education? They take every criticism (often
even suggestions) as a personal assault. I have learned (painfully)
through my life's journey to always work alone (on some levels) while
working with other people (on other levels). When I think about how I
learned to do this, I would _never_ require someone else to go through
a similar process. I would not want to create a structure that caused
that kind of painful, unsupported confusion in each and every
participant. Some people may choose it, some may accept it, but many
would only suffer without any understanding of the value of the
process.
