Description

Ask any teacher why they went into teaching, and they'll invariably refer to students or their subject.

Yet, modern educators are faced with a dilemma: the industry judges us primarily on outcomes, offering the justification that grades improve life chances.

Grades improve life chances as much as money buys happiness: it's no more than a prop or a poor substitute.

Unless the profession starts to get to the heart of its reason for being, we might as well all pack up and go home.

Education has a problem with its `why,' and unless it starts to encourage and insist its stakeholders start to improve their understanding of why compassion and relationships should be at the heart of everything we do, the same familiar cyclical mistakes will continue to be made, and all of those lovely things that we say we do in modern education such as improving life chances, creating citizens of the future and shaping young minds will be no more than an accidental and indirect by-product of time spent in our educational establishments.
