Child lives for 2 things in school: art class and recess. She gets messy in art and comes in from recess a wind-blown mess. If she would get with the program (fear) and keep herself looking neat (shame) then she’d be more popular and make friends. Maybe sessions with the school counsellor would help (don’t let the parents miss out on the shame!).

Nice. Christian school promotes shallow, compliant behaviour through fear and shame. Love, acceptance, relationships based on valuing the individual?? Never heard of it.

At risk of going on too long – some thought provoking links about creativity, motivation and vulnerability:
– Ken Robinson (TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/kenrobinsonsaysschoolskill_creativity.html) and his book The Element
– Daniel Pink (theRSA animation: http://comment.rsablogs.org.uk/2010/04/08/rsa-animate-drive/) motivation and purpose
