对于我们这些在职业生涯中一直与不满教育的儿童和年轻人一起工作的人来说,重新想象教育,或者更具体地说,重新想象学校至关重要。国家教育系统是否有可能满足所有儿童和青年的需求,而不论其性别、种族、能力、性取向或受照顾状况如何?能否改变学校,使所有儿童和年轻人都能获得相关、鼓舞人心和吸引人的课程和教学方法?整个教育系统能否设计成满足所有人的需要,使所有人都不会脱离、不满或捣乱?本章的重点是英格兰的教育(因为英格兰的政策与苏格兰、威尔士和北方爱尔兰的政策不同),尽管它所处理的问题可能被视为同样适用于其他国家和国际背景。它采取的立场是,我们需要制定长期的愿景,改革教育制度,同时也愿意在短期内修补它。为了实现前者,我们可以考虑为所有人建立一个“共同学校”的模式(菲尔丁和莫斯,2011年);一个民主的,解放的和地方的综合学校,旨在满足所有儿童的需求。要做到这一点,我们需要优先考虑哪些儿童和年轻人目前在系统中失败,并立即做出改变,改善这种情况。不幸的是,这类人有很多:
For those of us who have spent our professional lives working alongside children and young people who are disaffected with education, re-imagining education–or more specifically, re-imagining schools–is crucial. Could it be possible for the state education system to meet the needs of all children and young people, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation or looked-after status? Could schools be changed so that all children and young people were offered curricula and pedagogy that were relevant, inspiring and engaging? Could the education system as a whole be designed in such a way to meet the needs of all, so that none became disengaged, disaffected or disruptive? This chapter has a focus on education in England (as policy in England is different from that in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), though the issues it tackles might be seen as equally applicable in other national and international contexts. It takes the position that we need to develop long-term visions for revolutionizing the education system whilst also being willing to tinker with it in the short term. To work towards the former, we might do well to consider the model of a ‘common school’for all (Fielding and Moss 2011); a democratic, liberating and local comprehensive school, designed to meet the needs of all children. To do the latter, we need to prioritize which children and young people are currently being failed by the system and make immediate changes which will improve the situation. Sadly, there are many in this category:
