Thompson | BS: alternative education (13) | RE: BS: alternative education | 10 Feb 21 |
Fascinating programme about the school that was the original of the book and later film To Sir With Love. The original school, St-George-in-the-East, was run by an extraordinary educator, Alex Bloom, who taught (in a time when autocracy and corporal punishment were the norm in British schools) with a policy of friendship and respect towards children, and an absence of competition or prizes. Here's a piece about the school and headmaster. |
