It seems when we have little ones at home we can enjoy time and space and the world through their eyes, for a bit. However, we need to build in that time for ourselves and our work and our play! As long as schools look for students to give "one answer" to questions, and as long as teachers follow a "teacher's manual" we in education continue to look down a tunnel with very few options. Like you, I value the walk in the woods, or park, looking for alternative paths. Enjoy your break! Following you on twitter now:-).

As great as PPAP is, it always feels like there isn't enough! I love the holidays when I get to ponder, think and scheme. I've often thought that teachers should get 20% time, like Google employees. And then maybe, we could give it to the pupils as well... Too true. As great as PPAP is, it always feels like there isn’t enough! I love the holidays when I get to ponder, think and scheme.
