In part two of this two-episode special, I continue my discussion with freelance writer, novelist, and recovering teacher, Gabbie Stroud.

On today's show, Gabbie and I discuss the following:

· The rise of anxiety amongst children, parents, and teachers

· The need to 'leave children alone when they are skateboarding' - and allow them to learn from their own mistakes.

· The benefits of rewarding effort, not just achievement

· Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivational techniques

· Teaching during the time of COVID, and the demoralisation of teachers

· The need for firmer boundaries within the teaching profession

· How big business is taking over public schools

Enjoy!
