Let Students Control Their Own Learning

Many of us did not enjoy our school experience when we were young.

School was a place where we did what we were told and we memorised all the information like the bible.

Peter Hutton, who hated his school experience, did a radical change as a school principal.

A school without school bell and school levels but the curriculum being decided by students.

By empowering our students to take ownership of what they want to learn can motivate them to have the desire to learn.

The crafting of the curriculum can be tough in the beginning as it may just be constant changes to the current curriculum each year.

When students are motivated to learn the curriculum customised for them, the knowledge gained can last a lifetime.
