In the simplest terms, we want to make a real difference to what happens to our kids in our publicly funded schools.
We want all our children to join their teachers in a genuine exploration of the world.
We want all our children encouraged to make judgments about what they find along the way:
- what’s true, what’s false, what they don’t know;
- what’s beautiful and what’s not;
- what’s to be loved and what’s to be changed in their personal lives and in the world around them;
- what it means to strive for social justice: and
- what it means to live in harmony with the natural world.
Finally, we want to insure that what happens in school opens up and supports the extraordinary human potential of our students and teachers — at work and as citizens — and leads to their consistent building of community in the society that surrounds them.
We need well-resourced schools to strengthen this agenda, and we need significant local power in our schools — a working democracy of students, parents, teachers, school board workers and engaged members of the community — to carry it out.
What we want is, in many respects, in direct opposition to what the provincial government, through the bureaucratic regimes of our current school boards, is now imposing on our schools.
