About this ebook
Where do you send your kids every day? What will you workplace be like when you start to teach? Classrooms are hidden behind a curtain of bland assumptions. We may think that classrooms are places for teaching and learning. Think again. This book reveals the politics, ideology, theatre, culture and real experience of classrooms in a way that will surprise and enlighten you. From student experience to the cruelties and flaws in Ofsted; from the myth of teacher competence to the new science of consciousness; from the irrelevance of curriculum in life and work to the dangers and misconceptions of testing, this book takes a radical view of where children spend up to 15,000 hours of their early life.
