Season 1: Episode 1 - Justin Cook: Seeing education for what it really is
"Sustainability, human well-being, and the future of education" by Justin Cook (2019) (https://bit.ly/39ZAsyD)
“Teachers are steeped in education systems; from the age of 4 or 5, they have been immersed in an educational context. They are perhaps the only profession whose compulsory, secondary, and tertiary education environments are the same in which they work professionally. This fact fundamentally challenges the profession’s ability to step out of a subjective way of seeing. As George Orwell said, ‘To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle’ (Orwell et al. 2000, p. 125). This is true for many: because so much of our lives are spent inside schools, education is a relentlessly subjective construct that struggles against the weight of common experience to be seen objectively” (p. 3).
