Education in the age of diversity and high-stakes testing
"For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate observer, it's an immense pleasure to take up residence in multiplicity, in whatever is seething, moving, evanescent and infinite: you're not at home, but you feel at home everywhere, you're at the centre of everything yet you remain hidden from everybody." Baudelaire

Some thoughts on education in the world around me

I teach, therefore I am.
Such a wonderful post and a helpful reminder Susan.
I struggle at times with the overwhelming nature of serving my family, and the need for quiet and time on my own (I'm an introvert). I also think at times that surely I must have served my family enough today and can't be expected to do more! Most mornings I am greeted at the front gate of Annabel's school with the school motto 'I grow by serving' which I find so helpful as most mornings are exhausting just getting both children ready and to school.
I often find the weekend more exhausting than weekdays and I am still working through this and trying to adapt.

Thank you Amelia. This blog post came out of 'nowhere' or so I thought. But the struggles we face as we serve our family can be really tough. And I don't think I ever get through a day feeling I did it and did the day well. So may you 'grow by serving'. Hope the weekend is good for you and yours. S xx
