A ramble through what has collided in my brain this week and why I will always feel education is about the experiences integrated.Posts I have shared in the pasthttps://www.instagram.com/p/CRYnQCEHRIu/https://www.instagram.com/p/CTjnFaygHNV/Man's search for Meaning by Victor E.

We are allowed to have fun in education - I once wrote "school too many rules, not enough colour"I should probably convert to more progressive language *stick people but they'll always be stickmen to me Blog post with templates for storyboards, comic stripes and Grafio App link-template examples made using grafio app - I create some type of a template for every student I work with to explain a system or a routine or an idea!https://drnaoiseoreilly.org/true-inclusion-in-education/

Our obsession with measuring in terms of education - what I'm going to endeavour to achieve in this podcast series. How I feel the Transgender Journey is the penultimate development journey. The article I speak about in relation to the Paralympics opposed to how we just normalise males or females in the Olympics. Do we really know the impacts of certain drugs on performance? https://www.irishtimes.com/news/classification-explanation-understanding-the-paralympic-codes-1.544612 

To sum up the Oscars read about the Oscars during World War 2https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/how-the-oscars-went-austere-for-world-war-ii.html

If you want to create something different - if you want the world to stop measuring - you need to be in the world differently and ironically I'm going to talk about the only part of a book I don't agree with .. participation... It's ok to not belong in the room. Two books I want to recommend you readOne I have shared in the past:Belonging: From Fear to Freedom on the Path to True Communityby Angel Kyodo Williamshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55384181-belongingThe one I speak about in this podcast:Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of FreedomBell Hookshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27091.Teaching_to_Transgress?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=L56PmXwplB&rank=4

This proves Louise Hays thinking that Thyroid conditions are due to suppression of expression.  Why I focus so much on giving people a way to express themselves. Why I don't agree you have long term inability to form good relationships.

Wow, this has been the most difficult podcast to record for quite some time ... I don't know what I have said that is so difficult but someone doesn't want it said out loud! You will notice two points where the voice patterns change because I have to splice in new recording snippets ... the wind and rain have beat off the windows ... all of this is beyond my control but I have persevered!The Crossing Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55371169-the-crossing 

Why I dislike labels - the legacy left behind after the reports and the assumptions. The judgements that are thrown out by people who don't have your processing challenges. Who have no idea how your brain works or how to actually support you.We only ever focus on what we can't do. But increasingly the personality content online is inaccurate and doesn't represent Myers-Briggs's work. But the limitations we often apply and our conditioning.
