It is excellent for transferring information but hopeless for having a discussion where misunderstandings of what is being said occur frequently.<BR/><BR/>I feel that the publishing of articles without discussion misses the vital aspect of shared views of why and how we should use the information.<BR/><BR/>Basically we need people with wisdom to add their twopenny worth! - see another thread!Geoff Dellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628988582440925000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901923089212061794.post-74384681284311113462008-04-10T07:09:00.000+01:002008-04-10T07:09:00.000+01:00Heather is trying to discuss this with me by email...Heather is trying to discuss this with me by email.<BR/><BR/>We both find it very difficult because of our very different backgrounds.<BR/><BR/>I find the education environment - mixing with teachers - very claustrophobic. <BR/><BR/>How can they have a wide experience of different working situations when they have so little free time, extra energy, time to reflect, opportunities to show initiative and gain self-esteem. . . . when all they have done is taught?<BR/><BR/>No wonder why they feel the have to control and are fearful of the unknown.<BR/><BR/>Education is seen at the moment as the few handing down knowledge to the many. <BR/><BR/>Can it not be a mutual exploration of what really are a lot of unknowns?Geoff Dellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628988582440925000noreply@blogger.com
