If you’ve been working in one genre - cartoon/ manga - switch to something else
Challenge yourself
Play about with different media
Different themes
Different styles

Oh I can’t be doing with all the manga crap too!!

For the year?

Ah but I’m out of all that now
I have the bliss of knowing I’m no longer tied to the headship machine

And life is so much better
So Much

…be helped
And that’s when they realise they never wanted to be that way & can admit that they’re doing it because they thought they HAD to
That they had no choice

I’ve never yet had a client from education who didn’t say
“I don’t want to be this person/ work like this”

But THEY have to see it

I don’t think we’re as far away from agreement as it first appears
I too have met those people - hell I WAS one of those people
And they can’t be helped
Yet
It’s only when they break
When they’ve nothing left to fight with
When they realise they were acting against their own interests
That they can

It can’t be matched to exam specs at the moment

I think the idea is that AI will allow for personalised exams too

But there can be no way of moderating or standardising such personalised exams

So no way of assessing attainment or even progress

Why is it desirable to have a personalised curriculum for children who are developing and changing rapidly?

In this sense a personalised curriculum is likely to be hugely restrictive - tying pupils what they liked previously

Yes

Oh I just disagreed with you a few minutes ago

I wouldn’t worry
Doesn’t mean I don’t have same respect for you and your posts

My perspective is slightly different from yours and I hope it is an addition rather than a negative

Overwork is a response to an unhealthy work environment
And overwork almost always results in burnout.

And in education headteachers are the most vulnerable to burnout and compete breakdown

Therapy helps healing

But the environment/ culture is the cause

Hi Kate
I have never come across anyone who genuinely likes/ wants to work like that - especially leaders/HT
It’s what they say at the time because they believe it’s what they should be doing
They experience burnout, many breakdown completely
And in therapy the real truth comes out
