We're back! It's been a long time between drinks. Trying a different format - same topic as a slow chat over a month with a different question each week. We want you to have the chance to deeply reflect. Remember to use the #provoked hashtag in your responses and your RTs.

So what is the purpose of schooling? #provoked
Thinking about the provocation of what school is for? Even more so for gifted students. They do need more opportunities to make school meaningful.

Your thoughts? Is this what schooling is about? #provoked
Education is too focused on trying to teach children to learn. Children are born with an innate ability to learn. Education should be about drawing out the talents, passions, & abilities of each child through curiosity, creativity, and relevant experiences. That's Real Education.

The purpose of schooling will determine what schools value. Do we value building relationships over curriculum? Should we? #provoked
Education done differently... gettingsmart.com/2019/09/the… "For the first week of school Danish teachers instead spend time building relationships with students through games, activities instead of opening a textbook" "... the concept of ‘wasted minutes’ does not exist"

Words from my dissertation currently being written about the purpose of schooling. I too agree there is a difference between schooling and education. #provoked

This was a successful addition to #math1070! Hunting for counterexamples. (I realised students don’t actually know what counterexamples are, so we practiced them.)
