Treat learning like a process
Mine is pretty short. I’d like administrators, educators, and politicians to remember that learning is a creative process, and treat it as such. That doesn’t mean that children shouldn’t know the multiplication tables, or how to read, add, etc, but that learning these, when done with joy, and not just by rote, awakens a lifetime love of learning and fascination with learning as a response to curiosity, not a sickening dread of endless days of drudgery. Also, school buildings that look like prisons don’t help.
