Moments where it’s frustrating and difficult to find the pieces you need. Then slowly the edges are formed, the corners get placed and the picture starts to make sense. At four years old, I stared across the worn wooden floor of my grandma’s kitchen. In front of me was the person I had always believed was superwoman. Except…

    In his article ‘A Metamodel of Theories of Psychotherapy’, Steven Morris (2003) examines the myths and rituals associated with various systems of psychotherapy. I think a similar structure of myths and rituals can also be used to understand education.
