...as we talk about bringing Alexander technique back to where it can do the most good. Yes! Let's help the next generation change the world so that humanity doesn't keep making the same mistakes from it's habits.

 Principles for Teaching Kids (Quoted from http://www.ed2k.org.uk/Ed2kindex.htm)

- Education should first and foremost address the needs of the individual child.

- Every child should have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, loving and supportive environment.

- Every school day should include a period of "Quiet Time" when teachers and children have an opportunity to allow their bodies and minds together to come into a state of harmonious balance.

- Every school should understand the principles of the Alexander Technique and how to apply them to the school environment and to every school activity.

- Every child should leave school with the ability to choose good use of the self whenever they want to.

If this sounds like an impossible dream you might be surprised to learn that this is all happening now at a school in the UK: Educare Small School
