Will Richardson on knowmadic schooling. Social Media Examples. Why would I send my child to secondary school? You don’t have to believe in the lazy education is broken meme to think that there’s something wrong with the way we educate young people. As someone who worked for seven years as a teacher and senior leader in schools I’m not just some guy who has a view on education: I’ve seen what it looks and feels like behind the scenes in both ‘outstanding” and ‘failing’ schools. I want to make it clear that nothing I’m about to say has anything to do with the role, status or professionalism of teachers. As I’ve said many a time, most teachers I’ve ever come across do a fantastic job and are dedicated and hard-working. My target here is, specifically, the English education ‘system’ (if we can even call it that).
It’s also important to bear in mind that I’m not talking about my own choices as a parent here, but rather me qua parent. The question I’m asking isn’t “should I homeschool my child?” But rather, “how should we as a society educate young people?” Secondary school is a huge waste of time. Blog. Dougjohnson - home.

Best workshop day yet!!!! I think a lot of people started to find a shift in their thinking over the course of the weekend, and many teachers left the conference “confused at a higher level” which is always a good thing… ;-)…he is always up to date and on the cutting edge. You have been a breath of fresh air. You are always on the top of our list for PD! Below are the titles of the presentations and workshops I give. Keynotes.
