Comments on: Social Pedagogy and Government Policy in England http://www.childrenwebmag.com/articles/social-pedagogy/social-pedagogy-and-government-policy-in-england The internet's child care magazine published by a consortium led by The Centre for Children and Youth, University of Northampton,UK Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:13:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Catherine http://www.childrenwebmag.com/articles/social-pedagogy/social-pedagogy-and-government-policy-in-england#comment-1948 Catherine Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:45:51 +0000 http://www.childrenwebmag.com/articles/social-pedagogy/social-pedagogy-and-government-policy-in-england#comment-1948 Having worked with children for over 35 years, I feel that this whole idea of research and using human children like guinea pigs is getting us nowhere, except creating money from children- like any other commodity. No where in this article is the human child really explained and the big word LOVE is missing. Until the adults become children themselves, nothing will change. Children are being analysed to death like lab rats- what must they be thinking of us adults, who pretend to care- but do not know the meaning or the FEEL of the word care. In my experience, I left University believing I knew it all, because that is what I was conditioned to believe, but on entering the real world of children,suddenly all that knowledge was mere clutter in my head, leaving little room for me to learn truth. So, within 6 months of getting letters after my name, I burned all the books and decided to treat each human child as an individual- who would no longer be labelled X or Y to fit in a box. Children whom so called experts said would end up in prison, ended up with businesses of their own etc. So, I can say from experience that the only pedagogy to consider is love for the human child and being able to tune to the child and know how it feels- only in Russia is this concept accepted. So, please stop the so called money making research and using Earth children like caged animals- and see the difference within months. Please stop placing monitory values on children- like slaves-and change the mindset to one of pure Love.
