A plea for a new compassionate system of schooling
Teachers have to adapt to a world where they recognise that they need children and not the other way around. Should this be the end for schooling? Certainly it will never be the same again; and here I suggest that the system of disciplining the child cannot be the same again. Em. prof. Wilf Carr, from the University of Sheffield, foresaw the end of schooling as a modern phenomenon. He suggested that schools would have to adapt or perish because in the age of online learning platforms schools that don’t recognise this in the post Covid-19 world, whenever the schools return, will inevitably lose out.
