Successful schools would encourage diversity and treat the tensions created as an opportunity for direction and growth.
My personal philosophy of education reads: "Inclusive Values are Different by Nature". It stems from the fact that our value systems begin to solidify at around the age of six. This makes my fantasy school unique. In 'my' school system, students would experience cognitive, emotional and physically literate curriculum in equal measure. Teachers in every school would represent this wide range of epistemologies. Painters, physicians, plumbers and philosophers would value one another's knowledge and status with equal regard. Education stereotypes would fall. Their tradecrafts of art, healing, water, hygiene and critical thinking would be shared with valued abandon. Students would find a place for differing voices. Inclusive values would not be so different by nature.
