Despair

I found a cool blog today: www.stuffnoonetoldme.blogspot.com and one of its cartoons (the one pictured) caused me to utter an unuttered silent smirk, but also flashed a pang of fear across me that sitting young people down in a classroom is a disastrous concept. Perhaps tomorrow I will instruct my students to run around the field screaming until they feel that their scream can be interpreted into something meaningful. Whilst despair could be a potential route this thought-path could take me down, it won't as whilst I think education makes many mistakes, I hope and think and believe that it has a power for good as well. Thank you Alex Norlega for sticking a probing finger into my mind.
