ABSTRACT
We had a lot to learn. (One of the pleasures as well as one of the trials of teaching is that you never know it all.) We began the Fairness project (which we first mentioned in the last chapter) with reasonably clear ideas about what we would do, at least in the short term, but it did not take long for the children to overturn them, and teach us how well they could take responsibility for the direction of the project as a whole. As this class moved on, we continued to learn from the next one, and the next, changing our own ideas about how to improve the children’s learning, and about what was needed if the classroom was to be a place that was fair to them all.
