Alchemising Education - When We Were Young

If we want to have an impact on our kids’ education and learning, whether that’s to tweak and support or to revolutionise their environment, we must also examine our own experiences (read: prejudices), when we were young.

What was our experience of learning? 
How do we feel about it now, on reflection?
Were there memorable moments of either thrive or survive?
Were there experiences that have now meaningfully contributed to certain belief systems, habits & ideas, maybe enhancing or hindering modern day you?
Did your learning keep you from or help you reach your goals?
and
How can this reminiscing help shepherd and shape us, as parents, to know what to next “try” for our kids’ schooling in this great experiment that is child-rearing? 

QuantiMama Jodi & Curious Quinn take a waltz down memory lane, sweeping the cobwebs to the side, to reflect back on their own school experience; identifying markers and experiences that have had enduring impact on their own life, personal development & success and how then, that permeates through their kid-wrangling today.  

Naked convos ensue with Jodi & Quinn sharing vulnerable, squishy parts of their childhood schooling.  The parts which have stayed with them well into their adult hood; the parts that still impact on the way they see, do & teach life and the aspects that they wish to change to be better examples to their kids plus it saves them trotting out the old “Do as I say!! Not as I do!!” chestnut.

What are the long-term impacts of; 
personal interaction versus the high use of technology in classrooms; 
the importance of playtime; 
the grading system/assessments; 
interaction & learning through personal connection with teachers & students; effort versus grades; 
the weight of openly comparing students against each other at impressionable developmental ages; 
having a system whereby there is certainty in the structure of following rules versus finding opportunities to developing courage & authenticity through creativity & curiosity. 

Straighten your uniform, sit up straight and listen closely as Jodi and Quinn reminisce and muse on days gone by; noting that certain mindsets & programs created during their schooling (i.e. am I good enough, am I smart enough) can create the inner critic which has stayed with them well into their adulthood. Fret not; this will not be on y
