When did being bored in class deserve disciplinary action?
I need to bring to your attention an article about being bored in class. More about a student who said it out loud really Original.
I then want to direct you to Vicki Davis and her comments about it.
In this Web 2.0 age people need to be more careful. Speech is freer than ever. and not only that but can be beamed around the world in a blink of an eye. Instead of a few hundred sudents hearing a speech… which was reportedly well thought out. The reaction to it has actually caused a chain reaction, I’m sat here in New Zealand, on the other side of the world blogging about the issue. If it can reach me in 2 hours it can grab the blogging the worlds attension in a day. Probably not what the Principal intended.
Where does teaching democracy endd and living it begin. Surely the way we live our lives and particular the way that Principal acted speaks, no SHOUTS, about what we hold dear, our values and beliefs.
It makes us all stop and think, reassess what we hold dear. Which hill is worth dying on when it comes to our youth. Smart money says its not the ‘freedom of speech’ one, you’ll lose everytime… well most times at least.
