I think this conflict between theory and
practice or the real world and the ideal world.
I think it's quite important, you see at the
Institute you look at reality and the real world

as


something you can manipulate.


I mean you


talk about theories and then you put them in,
you say well you can put them in a real context
but what teachers at school are concerned with
is how their school is, you know, what their
rooms are like in school, what sort of conditions
they actually have to work under, now they don't
see that as changeable.

I'm finding myself that a lot of my ideas,
I classify myself in the progressive mould but
when you get into the reality of it I find myself


wanting to be traditional.


In any chaotic


situation in class I want to stand up and be
authoritarian and it’s very difficult to be as


optimistic as the teachers who are amazingly


optimistic .


I get quite pessimistic because


a lot of my ideas that I've come here with and
I'm trying to hang on to I find it very difficult
- simple practicalities basically about control
are a bit depressing! think .....


No, wait a minute.


I’ve been feeling there’s


always this real tendency to jump off and just
theorize without any feeling of reality and, I


mean ,


the teachers seem to be very defensive


about what people were learning at the Institute


you know,what people learn at teachers’


training colleges because as if they thought
these progressive ideas are right but they don't
actually work and they felt like maybe it's their
fault.


I think School B must be very different


then because they have seminars themselves.


I mean the teachers do, you know


and discuss


the same sort of things that we discuss and then
act on them.
