Education means fun!
Education is about expanding the mind, opening the floodgates and letting the wonder in. It is the greatest and most fulfilling experience a million miles away from the punitive classroom with its regurgitation of facts.
Education is fun.
Education is discovery, exploration and play.
It is sharing, fulfilling, helping and understanding.
Everybody wants some.
Nobody wants that sterile memorizing of turgid facts for the sake of tests. They want to learn facts because they enjoy finding out things.
Education is enjoyable. It is creative. It is about wonder and awe.
There is nothing better than that wide-eyed expression on a student’s face when they’ve seen something that lights them up. That’s education.
So throw away all the stats and the clipboards and make a big bonfire on the field. Rip up the Ofsted guidelines and replace them with flair and individuality.
No more turgid facts – more fun!

Education means fun!
Â
Truth and fun,
Questioning,
Creativity
And exploration’s thunder,
All mixed up
Together
In a gooey ball
Of wonder.
Throw out the checklists and
The tick box culture,
And the observation nightmare
Hovering like a vulture.
Learning is great
Everybody wants some
But nose to the grindstone
Becomes rather loathsome.
Discovery and excitement
A wide-eyed sigh
That’s the core
Of learning
Along with
Wow! And Why?
It’s fun!
It’s fun!
It’s fun!
Education should be fun!

Spot on … mmm, must do a post on this subject …
Cheers Dave – I wouldn’t mind reading that!!
Just got back from the Magic Band gig – brilliant!!
Yeah, saw them in Nottingham, new guy looks promising replacement for Denny Whalley, first half a few sound problems but wouldn’t have missed the second half for anything.
Yeah – Max Kutner, from Grandmothers I believe, looked promising. The Leeds gig was great even though I did think they missed Denny and Rockette.
