Boomers, Bureaucrats, and Brainlessness

An embarrassing and somewhat large issue that has caused many of the education, political, and other problems that we’re having today in America, and that has been mostly swept under the rug and ignored by Boomers as much as possible (which is a lot with Boomers, since they seem to be able to ignore obvious issues beyond death), is the significant portion of people in the Millenial and younger generations that are noticeably and measurably more intelligent and more capable than the people they have to take orders from. This causes a host of social, psychological, and economical issues down the line, on top of just plain out being inefficient and a waste of resources. It’s essentially like we have the kids who would have been in the intellectually disabled classrooms in primary schools giving orders to the average and gifted students, just because Boomer bureaucrats either can’t seem to tell the difference between intellectually gifted and intellectually disabled students, the majority of Boomers qualify as intellectually disabled themselves, or most likely, Boomer school administrators and bureaucrats just pocketed or squandered the federal funds their school districts received for gifted and special needs students, and then just labeled special needs and gifted students as average students in practice, while making it look on paper as if they were appropriately using the funds as they were supposed to be used.

We live in an exciting online world with every piece of information and A.I. at our fingertips. But there are also dangers out there on the internet - especially for children left unsupervised with computers, tablets and mobiles.

This is why Dogsthorpe Infant School offers its families online safety training events to help parents & carers to keep their children safe online.

Dogsthorpe Infant School is proud to be part of Hampton Academies Trust.

Supreme Court blocks law against schools outing transgender students to their parents in California

Thank goodness. In what other context would we allow a school to fail to notify parents when their children express self-harm ideation?

Are you serious? This was the x-ray notification I got the other day? My uncle died from this when he was 12.

Proposed SEND reforms could set schools up to fail

“There is nothing in these proposals to indicate government plans to reduce class sizes, which teachers feel would substantially aid their efforts to improve inclusion. In fact class sizes continue to get bigger as schools close and underfunding forces teacher and school staff redundancies. Expecting schools to absorb additional complexity without a plan to address these deep problems risks intensifying existing pressures, not improving them.

“The proposals assume that more learners with SEND can be educated successfully in mainstream schools. But there is little evidence of any plans to address core pressures identified by staff in schools, including excessive workload, large class sizes, behaviour challenges and the ongoing recruitment and retention crisis. Without action to address these problems, any plan for SEND reform will be unlikely to succeed.”

5 Keys to Genuine Teacher Collaboration

A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of working with a fantastic group of 2nd-grade educators. Together, we designed a social studies project where students became museum curators and exhibit designers, using design thinking to create their own museum exhibits.

The team included two homeroom teachers (Shelby and Rebecca), our Tech & Innovation Specialist (Chris), our instructional coach (Jodi), our librarian (Lara), and myself. Looking back, I truly treasure that experience. It felt seamless, productive, and genuinely collaborative.

I’ve been reflecting on why we were so effective. After breaking it down, I identified five key elements that made our collaboration work.

1. Diverse Skills, Perspectives, and Experiences Our strength lay in our differences. Each member brought a unique lens to the table, allowing us to fill gaps and enhance the learning experience in ways a single teacher couldn’t.

• Shelby & Rebecca (Homeroom Teachers): Brought deep experience in student-centered inquiry, ensuring students were actively questioning and investigating.
• Jodi (Instructional Coach): Developed materials to scaffold facilitation and ensured our activities built deep conceptual understanding.
• Myself (Design Thinker): Focused on empathy work, helping students understand the people they were designing for.
• Lara (Librarian): Curated the exact resources students needed to support their investigations.
• Chris (Tech & Innovation): Modeled design thinking mindsets for both students and teachers.

Much like an ecosystem, our work was interdependent. My empathy designs relied on Jodi’s conceptual framework; Shelby and Rebecca’s investigations relied on Lara’s resources. We weren’t just working near each other; we were working with each other.

2. Enthusiasm for a Common Goal It started with an idea: using a museum context to teach social studies. When Rebecca shared this, I was thrilled—and so was everyone else. We all believed in the value of making learning relevant and real-world.

This shared belief generated an energy that sustained us. We weren’t just completing a task; we were united by a vision we all genuinely wanted to achieve.

3. Positive Relationships Based on Trust & Appreciation Trust isn’t just about liking each other; it’s about valuing what the other person brings. I knew that I could rely on the 2nd-grade teachers to check my work for age-appropriateness. They knew they could rely on me for design strategy. We understood that one person’s weakness was covered by another’s strength.

4. Truthfulness & Open-Mindedness Because we trusted each other, we could be honest without fear.

For example, Jodi gave me feedback on the exhibits. She suggested shifting the focus from “events” to “people” to help students better grasp the concepts. Because I respected her expertise and knew we shared the same goal (student success), I didn’t get defensive. I was open-minded. This created a safe environment where feedback was seen as a tool for improvement, not a critique of character.

5. Minimizing Hierarchy While hierarchy exists in schools, it can kill collaboration in a creative team. In our group, there was no centralized power. No single person called all the shots.

Instead, we operated with egalitarianism. Everyone had a voice. As behavioral scientist Lisanne Van Bunderen notes, egalitarian teams feel like “we’re in the same boat,” whereas hierarchical teams often feel the need to fend for themselves. By removing the power dynamics, we solved problems collectively and shared equal responsibility for the outcome.

Final Thoughts Collaboration isn’t just about putting people in a room together. It’s about leveraging diversity, rallying around a shared passion, building trust, embracing honesty, and flattening the hierarchy.

I hope these reflections help you in your next team project!
