Guys! This is so important! I want you all to reflect on that, the same way I’ve been doing in these last few years of work in education, teaching, learning and above all, with the human being behind all that. Although it is difficult to swim against the current, we do find support along the way. The Pink Floyd song, Another Brick in the Wall, back in 1979, already said that!

Roger Waters wrote this song about his views on formal education. He hated his grammar school teachers and felt they were more interested in keeping the kids quiet than teaching them. The bricks in the wall were the events in Water’s life which propelled him to build this wall around him, and his school teacher was another brick in the wall. The song is meant to be satirical. Waters explained: “You couldn’t find anybody in the world more pro-education than me. But the education I went through in boys’ grammar school in the ‘50s was very controlling and demanded rebellion. The song is meant to be a rebellion against  government, against people who have power over you, who are wrong. Then it absolutely demanded that you rebel against that.”
