I stopped writing this blog back in 2014, around the same time that I (gradually - and gracefully:-) retired from paid work as an educator.
But I now have a new blog: Beyond the Ramshackle Hodgepodge.
When I was earning my living in the world of education I needed to compromise to some extent with conventional approaches to teaching and learning. But now that I have retired I have no such inhibitions. So Beyond the Ramshackle Hodgepodge takes an uncompromising and radical approach in analysing what needs to change in our education system
Below, in this last post in How Do People Really Learn?, is a thematic guide to the previous posts, which were written between 2008 and 2014. I believe that many of the issues I explored in this blog remain highly relevant in the third decade of the century. But be warned; quite a few of the hyperlinks in these blog posts are now, alas, dead.
