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.
