Into the Unknown: Setting the Box on Fire. Embracing Individuality in Education
Episode 54
Monday, 3 July, 2023
Are your kids able to fit in with the rest of his or her classmates at school? Are they able to freely express their individuality?In this episode, we delve into the concept of "the box" and discuss how it relates to the education system and our children's development. The box represents the systems we exist in, such as the political, social, and educational systems. These systems were not designed to cater to everyone's unique needs and abilities, resulting in many individuals, particularly children, feeling like they don't fit inside the box.We focus on the education system as an example, highlighting how it primarily caters to a specific group of students while leaving others feeling inadequate or wrong. In addition, we also discuss the need to recognize the existence of the box and understand that it is not our children who need fixing, but rather the system itself. By acknowledging the limitations of the box, we can advocate for change and push for more flexibility and individualized approaches to education.We explore the importance of empowering children by helping them understand the box and its limitations. By fostering a sense of self-worth and emphasizing that their unique abilities are valuable, we can encourage them to break free from the constraints of the box and embrace their individuality.Ultimately, the goal is to expand or even eliminate the box, creating systems that cater to the diverse needs of all individuals. By doing so, we can nurture a love of learning, empower both children and teachers and pave the way for a more inclusive and adaptable future.Today’s podcast is taken from a training from inside my group membership called, ‘The Village’.
