Description

What Are We Doing to Our Children charts my thirty-year journey as a drama teacher, both in and beyond the classroom. Part memoir, part social commentary, it shines a light on what is really happening in our schools, blending lived experience, observation, and the stories I felt urgently needed to be told.At its core, this book explores why parents, students, teachers and those working across education are drowning under the weight of expectation imposed by the current system. It exposes the damaging mismatch between a rigid national curriculum and the specific, local and diverse realities in which teachers are compelled to work. Above all, it reveals how we consistently underestimate our young people - masking their insight, creativity and emotional intelligence beneath relentless pressures of attainment and performance.What Are We Doing to Our Children? is a powerful book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Karen Wilson's writing is personal, passionate and perceptive: she discusses all the major issues in the light of her own wide experience; she clearly cares deeply about children and young people; and she understands their needs and the damage done to them by aspects of the current education system.
