Difff and James have another amiable argument about a contentious issue in education. This time, we're asking how much say teachers should have over what and how they teach in the classroom?  Does a top-down approach stifle teacher autonomy and creativity and create situations where students are not met where they are at? Or is this just a symptom of poor leadership and structures?  Ultimately, this episode ends up asking the question of idealism versus practicality when it comes to how much teachers should continue to learn.Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane.
