I have spent most of my life at school
I have spent most of my life at school: I went to school; I went to university; I became a teacher; I served as Principal for 25 years.
Now, in retirement, I've gone back to school and earnt a Doctorate and now teach university students about Theology and English Literature.
I've always been something of a maverick in Education. I think that most of the experts get it wrong when it comes to education. I also think that there is a massive chasm between the concept of Education and the notion of schooling.
This paper is intended to be a brief guide for Directors, specifically in not-for-profit companies, though much of it is equally relevant to for-profit organisations also. Most issues are not fully elaborated on, but only discussed in sufficient depth to give broad guidelines for actions and behaviours which will facilitate the smooth operation of a school over many years. The material is kept brief so that it may easily find a place in a Policy Manual for Directors.
