6. A ‘Compelling Learning Experience’ Pupil Voice! That was brill! I can’t wait until tomorrow when we have it next! I didn’t realise old Bam Bam still had it in him! If it was like that all the time, I’d put more effort in! That made me think a lot! My brain hurts! Two weeks until the next lesson – I can’t wait that long! I will never forget that lesson! I would take part more if the lessons were all like that!

7. PASSING GO Ah well, homework, then. He turned the screen off and reached reluctantly for his schoolbag. Half of it was geography, which was nearly all colouring in and copying and drawing. Kid’s work. He had thought that the colouring would stop when he was at secondary school, but no such luck. Resignedly pulling the folder towards him and starting to shade in a patch of steppe …. He put the finishing touches to ‘Africa – main crops’ and looked, with disfavour, at ‘Africa – climate’. One day, work and life would not be this boring. ‘ Passing Go’ – Libby Purves (2000) Some Inspiration ……
