...the students help plan the learning content...

How would the students know what should be the learning content?

This is now a rather old concept,tried in England ( it was begun in 1921 and lasted for a few decades ) many years ago, known as SUMMERHILL ( that was also the name of the school ), and it failed miserably!

It was also sort of tried in America, in the early 1950s, but not to the same extent and also failed.

You'd think that people in the education field would know about this, but apparently they didn't get the message in Norway.

The “education theorists” need to let teachers teach their own way.

Some teachers teach one way, and half the students like it and the other half don’t.

Some teachers teach the other way, and the opposite half like that, and the previous half don’t.

Fire the teachers that don’t teach. That’s the problem.

Norway has always been under Mob Rule..
Democracy is Mob Rule but so is Monarchy..
Democracy has been, is now, and always will be Mob Rule.. by mobsters...

Democracy is a lie.. no democracy has ever been democratic..


Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx

Nobody seems to have explained how to facilitate student self-regulation,' says Aud Torill Meland.

Ooops. Hate when that happens.
