Dear List Collegues
I would liketo make it clear that I am not a supporter of Baroness Warnock,
I just thought the phrase she stated 'the purpose of education is
enjoyment' to be positive and in many ways liberating. Education should not
be about instruction, competition, grading people in society, and it should
be an end in itself and not be an advance on a deal that the educatee will
pay back the system like a good drone.
In partuicular Baroness Warnock got to serve on the various committees and
advisory bodies she has over the years because of privilage in terms of her
home background, educational background and concommitant oportunities etc.
Her posts have never been subject to 'open competition' And having had all
this advantage and reward she was further rewarded by being made a Life
Peer hence the Baroness.
She is no compatriot of mine..but I still think the tag line stands!
'the purpose of education is enjoyment'
