Changing the Frame - George Lakoff

Summary: Primary Metaphors are part of your physical brain. they are physical connections between synapses which have been connected and strengthened over time and are difficult to break.
Can we break the frame and change how we think of learning and what a school is.
Can we change the metaphor for learning and the way we think aboutit?

Learning could be a tree or forest which grows when nourished
The Learner could be an astronaut exploring and discovering the wonders of space

Personally I have changed many of my habits.  Could I change the way I behave and think and sustain it ? - probably go mad. - TARGET = I will take time to listen, be helpful and encourage conversation !
