This article is about free schools: the research lab of state education...
The cofounder of the West London Free School
says that he has long heard different reviews about this "educational
reforms", but after three years has concluded that the strongest argument
is that schools offer a space where teachers and students can try new things
therefore it is possible to achieve high levels in the country's public
education.
The cofounder says he is sure he heard all the
arguments against this research, "experimenting with people's lives",
"that already exist such experiences in community schools" but the
best argument he has is that the free school population is too small to draw
general conclusions as a massive test.
Also tells of the founding principles of the
WLFS is that children can benefit from a liberal education, regardless of their
background or abilities. In general terms he argues that each student will
learn core subjects like English language, mathematics, history, geography,
theology, Latin, French, physics, chemistry and biology, but also be
complemented with art, music, theater and sports.
He mentions that the aim is to provide students
with a basic knowledge stock, and about different themes, in order to succeed
in their social relations and in his studies.
Finally says he has no doubt that after reading
this article, many people will suspicious of free schools, but if teachers have
interesting to participate in this initiative should contact the institution
and indicate their desire to participate, because are looking for staff.
