In a recent conversation with Paper, I found it truly inspiring to hear about the impactful work Superintendent Kirk Shrum and educators in Visalia Unified School District are doing to foster connections that extend beyond the classroom for students. Their dedication to ensuring each student feels a part of something larger within their community is remarkable. ???? "What research shows is that when students are connected to something beyond maybe just their academic class, they perform better, they feel better about themselves, and they have better attendance...if every student's connected to something meaningful, it's going to change their trajectory." ??

The euphoric concept that everyone is special and everyone is a winner, even though no commitment and effort is made by the so called "special", creates delusive sense of victory. This leads to a dopamine addiction which everyone must get every now and then to feel good. This habit after some time, becomes a routine requirement amd sense of entitlement to get a quick appreciation without genuine effort. In the long term, this creates an army of narcissistic citizens who are used to a 'certificate of attendance'. In the long term such "baseless winning" prevents the need for grit and consistent efforts to achieve anything significant and meaningful since the mental reward system that push us to perform consistently towards a certain goal would have already received its dopamine. This is dangerous and one of the biggest inhibitor in the way of realising one's TRUE POTENTIAL. Agree?

Very much enjoyed this book in recent weeks. The context is the system of parishes in the Church of England, but what was fascinating is the argument put forward about the key differences between an institution and an organisation and how managerialism rather than leadership does not sit well with longstanding institutions. Two things occurred to me as parallels One is that the independent school network is not unlike a parish system - most people are within the geographical reach of one of our schools and will feel the impact of that school and its engagement with the local area. This is a deeper and more important connection than the abstract national narrative. We know people are much more positive about their local independent school than they are generically about independent education. The second is that schools are institutions - the ethos and way of doing things is just as important as the outcome and this can only happen with all involved in the institution engaged and aligned rather than managed and instructed.
