What is the fundamental purpose of education, and how do we achieve it? I have literally no idea, so here are some opinions and anecdotes about classroom life instead. Dine on the Headfruit, with me - Jonny Walker - and whoever else I can rope in for an occasional natter.
Are seemingly unexpected things actually quite predictable? In a fit of focused ennui, I read all of our schools Log Book entries from 1889 to 1989 to find out. I also adapted last week's Brown Bread story into some Badly Written Lockdown Erotica. Finally, we consider our weirdest classroom experiences.
This is the first episode of Headfruit. What were you like as a kid? If the child-you was a new kid in your class, how would you react to them as a teacher? I share a story called 'Brown Bread' about a haunting in Lidl. We consider what the podcast might become.
Headfruit is a new education podcast that dawdles at the fringes of classroom life, sharing esoteric tales, stories and ruminations.
Settle down, grab a serviette and tuck in to some Headfruit. Presented by Jonny Walker.
