'Education means learning to think for yourself, learning to make and repair friendships, learning to see other people's points of view, learning not to be frightened of uncertainty or difficulty. Unfortunately, the system, whether it is in a free school, an academy or a comprehensive school, seems to comprehensively neglect the development of those qualities in the obsession with test results and clichéd environment.' (Claxton, G., 2011).
Let's accept classrooms now in most schools are the same as 100 years ago. This truth becomes more visible when we ask students and parents how they can define the school, or what the school means to them.80% of them, a pretty high rate, are saying it is tedious for them and also for their teachers. The rest 20% of them are saying a school is a nice place not during the classes and evaluations but the moment for a break. So why not break up this belief? Or why not go to a lecture theatre, and have a really exciting lecture with students? It is sure that this type of learning will be more exciting for both students and teachers. And that requires something very different, decorating education.
