| Synopsis: |
Making much use of story, fable and anecdote, fortunes and fables reaffirms the ideals, convictions and hopes which lead so many people into teaching and which inspire them still. The author has many tales to tell. He recalls Brent's pioneering programme for equality, praised by government reports but assassinated by the press as a conspiracy of "race spies". And the creation of "Equality Assurance in Schools", a book to compensate for the National Curriculum Council's failure to issue guidelines for education in a multicultural society. He reflects on education for spiritual development, on the importance of stories, on the issue of hybridity. He pays moving tribute to a pioner of antiracist education, David Ruddell, and addresses a much younger friend on her cpming of age. He satirizes the government's educational reforms and parodies quangocrats and "quallispeak". |
