Have to share this

Gave me a good chuckle 🤭

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley Oh aye, that and the cartoon comment about "vibes and self-actualization".

Lazy straw man on creating the psychological conditions where a person can actually grow toward their full potential without constant external coercion or threat.

Past my bedtime :)

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley Coercion is not the central beating heart of education. It's not the life force, without which education dies. That's my main disagreement with the article. But yeah, I'm certasin we agree on that :)

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley To say that schools should be coersive is to say that the state should be coersive, and I'm not sure I agree with that, or that this is what "coersive" ultimately means.

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley We have kids' pictures outside schools in the UK, next to speed signs. Emotional connection is more effective than fear of punishment.

Not saying there should be no rules, but that the rules are (US) "backstop not the pitcher"

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley I don't steal, not because of state coersion, but because I have an emotional investment and I've rationale. Had I not those things, I would break the law more, in spite of the consequences. Kids, same.

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley Coersion is less effective than fostering internal motivation/rationale, when fostering long-term prosocial behaviours in kids (which also persist when adult is not present

Adults follow laws more out of social norms and personal beliefs, than state coersion, for example.

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley So Shakespeare seen, o'ermore than read,
And little bairns all love a donkeyhead.

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@NonwayneWayne @Sudbury_Valley But one with the internal drive to read,
And feel the rhythm of th'eternal song
Embedded in young subconsciuous mind,
Who might enjoy the mighty Bard 'ere long.

@Sudbury_Valley @NonwayneWayne Internal motivation, like many processes, benefits from cultivation, and not all "interference" kills it. Some kinds nurture it. You can nurture curiosity, playfulness, agency, etc.

Daniel Kebede, "We have the largest class sizes in Europe"

"A million children taught in class sizes of 30 or more"

"The highest since records began"

"We need to see class sizes come down to a European average of about 20"

@kylegeorg @educator4ever36 Absolutely not.

@AnnieBeale1 Well he's blocked me, so I can no longer rationally disagree with him and bring evidence as to why his views are mistaken 😂

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@AnnieBeale1 I was agreeing with you - the "no" was at them :)

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@AnnieBeale1 No, we know dysregulation is not a choice, and other choices become impulsive when dysregulated.

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@AnnieBeale1 They branded the man on his forehead, S T for Sheep Thief, to let the world know the bad man that he was.

The man became a wanderer and, many years later, a healer.

A cured child asked his father what the S T on his forehead meant.

The father replied "It means Saint".

[A2C - Youth Drama @ACT2CAM]

@AnnieBeale1 Yet the child can exist independently of the behaviour 🤔

A layperson might see a bad (fixed) child. An expert education practitioner sees bad (changeable) behaviour. The latter is correct.

Co-regulate - watch the behaviour vanish and the child persist.
