Comment on Dear parents, are Class Dojos in your school? Ask questions; avoid them if possible. by Jayn

ggest that these ghastly DoJo things are used mostly by teachers who lack any ability to control classes via usual methods.

Was in a class the other day when a rather unpleasant middle aged female teacher spent most of the time with the DoJo creepy characters on screen and threatening to ‘remove’ DoJos for kids who did not perform properly. This, to 7 year olds.

One poor kid was singled out by her as having moved into negative numbers for DoJos. I was just shaking my head in disbelief.

The good thing was that actually the kids seemed to be well over any possible excitement with the DoJo acquisition mentality – most were not really listening to this Teacher as she rambled on. Incidentally this was at a ‘Trust’ school in the UK, i.e. one which had been wrenched from Local Authority control in order to ‘raise standards’.

With this kind of weird mind control technology – invented by some San Fran guy probably in search of a quick buck and early retirement – we seem to be more interested in indoctrinating and subduing kids. And I thought it was China and North Vietnam we were meant to be worried about – what a laugh!

You’re so right Sue. Food famously forgives flimsy facilitation. It’s NEVER not about the food.

Thank you for this really helpful analysis and set of suggestions for next steps. I’ve been working through Donella Meadows 12 points for some time for creating public health change in a variety of settings and your blog has helped progress by thinking. I’d very much like to use the 18 point image in a presentation to health care professionals re environmental sustainability as a thinking too – fully referenced and acknowledged of course. Please shout if not OK.
