Kathy was at the farm this weekend and found school notes she thought came from about Grade 10. I promised I would not say what year, but I was taken aback by how little things change over time. The “angry young poet” emerged from within.
The Establishment
They know best for the rest
Indoctrinate
Not change
Recall non-existent good old days.
Disagreement
Simply wrong-headed
Rebels
Who are we to question?
They have it made
Material wealth
Exclusionary tactics
Depend on them to know best.
Maintain existing order
Demand allegiance
Or cannot enter
Fail to practice what preach.

About ivonprefontaine
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.
…..and another Russel Ray camping trip comes to an end………………..Hope all is well.
It is and I hope all is well at your end.
