zymoglyphia: 'The point of education is to change lives'

I told Tiger how in school, pupils do lessons in stuff we do everyday, like personal, social, and health education.

Tiger thought about that.

Then she said, I want a place where you put up assignments in citizenship.

I thought about that.

I have come up with this. It's probably not entirely citizenship. It will be that, plus a house of online curiosities for Tiger and her sisters.

Sometimes it will cover much the same ground as a conventional PSHE lesson.

Sometimes it will just be a place to collect ideas, whimsy, and odd stuff I'd like to share. It may be that this is what we might call being a person, or being a citizen.

I don't know. I don't expect it will make any sense unless you are Tiger, Shark, or Squirrel, and sitting round my kitchen table.

Back to grit's day.
