Schools cannot and should not operate in silos, but need to increasingly look across and outwards. I recently came across Albert Schweitzer’s book Memoirs of Childhood and Youth. In this he has written:
‘We must not mix ourselves up uninvited in other people’s business. On the other hand, we must ot forget the danger lurking in the reverse which our practical daily life forces upon us. We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.’
Schools cannot be ‘hot houses’ but places where ‘melting’ goes on—of dogmatic attitudes, of stubborn wills and of iron fists.
