These divisions a?e created in the school
and I can't help feeling that the British school
system, the terrible Maths, Science divisions
that occur so early, which I think is really ....

of this integrated studies talk last week,
know, everybody’s saying we should teach
integrated studies as a subject

That's why it's so hard, I think, for Maths
and English to come back together on the
teaching course.

I classify myself in the progressive mould but
when you get into the reality of it I find myself

wanting to be traditional.

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

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 .....

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

the teachers seem to be very defensive

about what people were learning at the Institute
or, you know, what people learn at teachers’
training colleges because as if they thought

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.
