English School Goes Back to Victorian Education!

Let's bring back canes, drills, and forcing lefties to use their right hand!

In a great example of experiential learning, a class in Gloucester got a first hand lesson in the wonders of modern education.

Their teacher brought back Victorian educational methods for the day. Although they did spare the rod, it sounds like they had to endure a lot of the other components of period education: costumes, separate gender classes, and drills, drills, drills. It shouldn't be much of a stretch to realize why this kind of system created so many dyslexics! Kudos to their teacher, Jessica Sampson, for a daring and creative lesson.

While we still have a long way to go in our education system to recognize the need for visual-experiential education, it's always good to realize how far we have come, and to realize that there are a lot of great teachers out there doing some really innovative things.
