My main reflection as I was reading this chapter was 'what if it was written now, rather than 2009?'
Much of what is written makes sense to me and seems important, however I wonder how much it would be at odds against the pressures being brought to bear on education through politics. How would teaching children in Lancaster about the environment work when the government are pushing fracking through for example? Teaching about diversity and so on when immigration seems to be something politicians use to scare people into voting for them? These make it more important that children should be taught moral values inspired by a global dimension yet tricky if they oppose where we seem to be heading.
