Winnie the Pooh on educational change
40 CommentsI just had to blog this. Sometimes the biggest truths come through the most simple expressions. In fact, I’ve got a number of gems from The Wisdom of Pooh dotted around my study. In the comments section of a post on Infinite Thinking Machine, Lucie deLaBruere said that it reminded her of a Winnie the Pooh cartoon with the following attached text:
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. –A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

Kind of reminds me of the situation with schools – we know that there’s a better way, but some of us can’t just think what it is because we have to get on with the everyday things… :sPublished on October 16, 2006 · Filed under: Uncategorized;

An apt analogy. Thanks for sharing, Doug. It made me laugh.

You with your Pooh Bear and me with my Calvin and Hobbes – a right pair! Great analogy – one that could be discussed for ages! I especially like the fact that Pooh Bear’s method of descending has been visited upon him by someone with more clout. My father used to laugh uproariously at this bit when my mother read this story to me as a child, but I could never see why it was funny – I thought him thoroughly heartless for laughing at Pooh’s pain. What an intense little girl I was!
