Leadership: Sometimes I’m expected to ‘perform’ for people in ways that distract from my responsibility for leading people or learning: I’ll aim to prioritise the leadership of people and learning for which I’m responsible. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Sustainability: Sometimes people learn well at home and in other places that are not schools; I’ll help schools learn from such alternatives and will help such alternatives learn from schools. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Curriculum: The overall movement towards overcoming division in the curriculum will never be complete: it may involve protecting some divisions in order to protect individuality and to help overcome divisions in the future. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Politics: Sometimes there are good reasons to be fearful and pessimistic, which may lead to defensiveness, but people in school should be prepared to face those fearful situations rather than ignore or hide from them #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Care: The school I would like will *not* care more about exam results and what inspectors or league tables say about the school than it cares about me. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Community: The school I would like will *not* be unfriendly or allow enmity and bullying to go unchallenged – whether between or amongst adults or pupils. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Dialogue: The school I would like will *not* be one where people say what they think but do not listen to what other people think or believe that others with differing views should simply be dismissed. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Personhood: The school I would like will *not* be one in which people treat others as merely (teaching or learning) brains, exchanging knowledge, and ignoring the rest of personhood. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Curiosity: The school I would like will *not* be one in which people are left incurious, either because it is assumed that they cannot learn or that they already know everything with certainty. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Leadership: The school I would like will *not* be one in which leaders expect followers to work for them, or in which followership means working for leaders inside or outside the school. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Sustainability: The school I would like will *not* merely be a repository of the past, it will *not* merely be a meeting of current needs, and it will not merely be a preparation for the future. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Curriculum: The school I would like will *not* accept divisions as permanent, and will *not* overcome divisions with such completeness as to create a unity that is damaging. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Politics 1/2: The school I would like will *not* accept individualist competitiveness to such an extent that the school is dominated by fear. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Politics 2/2: The school I would like will *not* deal with fear by allowing an authority figure (within or beyond the school) to make all the decisions and to maintain power by instilling a fear of disobedience. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Care: I will *not* accept uncaring people without trying to work out why they are uncaring and, if possible, help them to care more. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Community: I will *not* treat people only as means to other ends – such as treating people merely as paid helpers or as merely ways to help with my own academic or career success. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Dialogue: I will *not* ignore what other people say, simply because their views are different to mine, and I will *not* try to win every argument simply for the sake of winning. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Personhood: I will *not* treat others as merely brains, exchanging knowledge, and ignoring the rest of their personhood. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Curiosity: I will *not* settle for being permanently incurious, either because I think I cannot learn or because I think I already know everything with certainty. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity

Leadership: I will *not* expect my followers to work for me and I will *not* expect to be working for my leaders. #PESGB #aphilosophyofschooling #carecuriositycommunity
