#HowchildrenFail: prompted by John Holt’s observations of children.
Boy, about 5; from entry to leaving, every adult word is negative- ‘Stop; stoppit; don’t; I’ve told you; stay there”, etc. All child’s attempts at interaction rebuffed. She’s consumed for 30 mins by her mobile.
Can exams be non-threatening if we remove the fear of failure from them? #awakeuniversity #learnsomethingnew #onlinelearning #education #Teachers #students #failure #success #staycurious #Exams #johnholt #howchildrenfail
“How can we foster a joyous, alert, wholehearted participation in life if we build all our schooling around the holiness of getting ‘right answers’?” #HowChildrenFail
“Children who undertake to do things do not think in terms of success and failure but of effort and adventure. It is only when pleasing adults becomes important that the sharp line between success and failure appear.” #HowChildrenFail
“The ideas of order of all too many schools are that order should, must, can only rest on fear, threat, punishment. They would rather have systems of order based on fear, even when they don’t work, than systems of order based on children’s cooperation—that work.” #HowChildrenFail
“Effective schools took full responsibility for the results or non results of their work. 2. When something they were doing in class did not work, they stopped doing it and tried to do something else. They flunked unsuccessful methods, not the children.” #HowChildrenFail
“The researchers examined effective schools to find what qualities they had in common. Two struck me as critical: 1. If the students did not learn, the schools did not blame them, or their families, neighborhoods, attitudes, nervous systems, or whatever.” #HowChildrenFail
"Leadership qualities are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them." #JohnHolt #HowChildrenFail https://t.co/Z23BCMCi82

Finally finishing this book ! One of many unfinished books on my bookshelf . #HowChildrenFail #JohnHolt #failure
There will be many younger teachers who haven't read the books of John Holt and many older teachers who came into teaching because of them #whychildrenlearn #howchildrenfail
#johnholt has helped me shape my personal teaching philosophy. Have you read his books? #howchildrenfail #howchildrenlearn
