Since when did obedience become the epitome* of good parenting?
Annalisa Barbieri, guardian.co.uk, Thursday 19 January 2012 10.16 GMT
We all want impeccably behaved children, right? Well maybe not, says Annalisa Barbieri.
Here, she questions why there is such a fashion for taming our youngsters.

Two stories caught my attention recently. One was a report that breasLfed bables are more challenging in their
behaviour and the other was about a new book called French Children Don't Throw Food: about how lrench
chlldren apparently behave really well, in restaurants and just generally.
(Hmm. Can I pause here to tell you a story? My aunt was French. She had twins. She'd carry round a little whip
actually several little leather straps of about 6" in length, all coming together into a wooden handle. She would
hit my cousins on the back of their legs if they stepped even a tiny bit out of line. The word I remember her
saying the most was "arrte". But it is absolutely true to say I never once saw them throw food.)
Most parenting books are about how to get children to do things well. By well, read obediently. When and how
you - the adult - want them to do something: eat well, pee in the potty, sleep well (that's the big one), behave
well. The aim, it would seem, is to raise compliant children. Because, according to these books, obedient
children = successful parents, disobedient = head hanging failures. But actually is an obedient child cause for
concern or celebration? The more I thought about it, the more intrigued I became by this question. Telling
someone their child is obedient is (usually) meant as a compliment. But an obedient adult? Not quite so attractive
is it? We have other words for that, doormat being one of them.
Alfie Kohn, author of 'Unconditional Parenting. Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason'
says, "When I ask parents, at the beginning of my lectures, what their long term goals are for the children, I hear
words such as ethical, compassionate independent happy and so on. No-one ever says mindlessly compliant."
A compliant child becomes a particular concern, Kohn admits, when they reach adolescence. "If they take their
orders from other people, that may include people we may not approve of. To put it the other way around: kids
who are subject to peer pressure at its worst are kids whose parents taught them to do what they're told."
Alison Roy, lead child and adolescent psychotherapist at East Sussex Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Services (CAMHS), says: "A child will push the boundaries if they have a more secure attachment. Children
who have been responded to, led to believe - in a healthy way - that their voice is valued, that all they have to do
is object and action will be taken - they will push boundaries. And this is really healthy behaviour. Compliance?
They've learned there's no point arguing because their voice isn't valued."
So much of what we see as disobedience in children is actually just natural, curious, exploring, learning
behaviour. Or reacting in the only way they know how to a situation over which they have no control.
"You can threaten or bribe a child into obedience for a little while," explains Kohn, "but you are missing the big
picture and failing to address the underlying cause [of why they may not want to do something] which may be
environmental such as rushing a tired child through an unfamiliar place - or they may be psychological, such as
fear about something else. A very obedient or complaint child it depends, some are more docile by
temperament - but others have created a false self because they sense their parent will only love them if they are
obedient. The need for autonomy doesn't vanish because kids have been cowed into doing what they're told."
A very young child isn't actually meant to be obedient all of the time, according to Roy. This is because their
needs are often completely at odds with an adult's. See that lovely wall you've just painted in 100-a-pot paint?
That's just one lovely big, blank canvas to a two-year-old with a contraband crayon, who doesn't understand why
you praise them so much for drawing on a piece of paper but shout at them for drawing on the wall. You think
it's a cold day and want to wrestle a woolly pully over your child's head but actually the child isn't cold and
CnLu 2012 Lngllsh for LducaLlonal Sclences L3 !osephlne 8emon, [osephlne.remon[unlv-lyon2.fr
2

doesn't want it. Imagine going to a friend's house and you accidentally spill a drink and get shouted at, instead of
them saying "oh don't worry" and mopping it up. And yet...
There seems to be a real fashion for taming children and the reason seems to be fear: it's not that most people are
worried about one incident of wall-scribbling, but that they seem to fear what this behaviour will turn into if it's
not kept in check, as if all children are just waiting to grow up into sociopaths. One of the comments I get a lot,
at the end of my columns for the lamlly section of the Guardian (when I have advocated understanding and a
more what would be called 'softly softly' approach to a child) is something along the lines of 'they'll turn into a
monster if you don't put your foot down/show them who's boss'.
"It's not based on empirical evidence," argues Kohn. "It's a very dark view of human nature.
At the top of my list of what makes a great parent is the courage to say 'I still have something to learn and I need
to rethink what I'm doing'. The parents who worry me are those who dismiss the kind of challenge that I and
others offer, waving it away as unrealistic or not practical enough, or idealistic." Kohn advises a 'working with',
rather than a 'doing to' approach to children. In short, getting to know your child, listening to them. "Talk less,
ask more."
What do you think? Has your child ever shamed you with a classic refusal to comply? Post your parenting
woes here

Steady on! Im French, was brought up the French way and while I have areas of
disagreement with my father about his approach (more old-fashioned than French), there was
no such repression going on! This article, because of the reference to the crazy aunt with the
whip (my parents hit me twice in my entire life, and felt terrible about it while Ive decided I
actually understand why they did it at the time!!), makes it sound like the French are some
draconian child haters.
This is ridiculous. Rather, I think theres just more effort put into getting kids used to socialize
with adults, and that includes treating kids as people who can cope with something other than
bloody fish fingers and sausages in restaurants, and do not have to be the centre of attention
every minute of every day.

Educating from the waist up
1. Understanding the tal k*
First of all, browse* the website http://www.ted.com/ TED, ideas worth spreading.
On this website, you can listen to filmed mind-boggling* talks on various subjects. For some
of the talks, the transcript is available on the right hand side* of the screen, as well as subtitles
in many languages.
For this lesson, youre going to be working on a talk called Ken Robinson says schools kill
creativity.
a) Listen to the talk http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html
b) Write one sentence giving your impression about the talk and Ken Robinson.
c) Listen to the talk a second time, reading the transcript at the same time.
d) Here are 15 jokes told by Ken Robinson in his talk. In what order does he tell them (write a
number in the box):
1)"What are you drawing?" And the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of God." And the teacher
said, "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the girl said, "They will in a minute."
2) You say you work in education, you can see the blood run from their face.
3) Actually, you're not often at dinner parties, frankly, if you work in education.
4) ADHD hadn't been invented at this point. It wasn't an available condition. (Laughter)
People weren't aware they could have that.
5) About university professors: They look upon their body as a form of transport for their
heads, don't they? It's a way of getting their head to meetings.
6)"If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?"
7) University professors: the people who come out the top. And I used to be one, so there.
8) If I'm cooking, the door is shut, the kids are out, the phone's on the hook, if she comes in I
get annoyed. I say, "Terry, please, I'm trying to fry an egg in here. Give me a break."
9) If my wife is cooking a meal at home - which is not often, thankfully, if she's cooking, you
know, she's dealing with people on the phone, she's talking to the kids, she's painting the
ceiling, she's doing open-heart surgery over here.
10) About senior academics in a disco : grown men and women writhing uncontrollably, off
the beat, waiting until it ends so they can go home and write a paper about it.
CNED 2012 English for Educational Sciences L3 Josphine Rmon, josephine.remon@univ-lyon2.fr

11) I've been blown away by the whole thing. In fact, I'm leaving
12) That was it, by the way. Thank you very much. So, 15 minutes left. Well, I was born,
no.
13) We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting?
14) When I was a student, if you had a degree, you had a job. If you didn't have a job it's
because you didn't want one. And I didn't want one, frankly.
15) Being sent to bed by his dad, you know, to Shakespeare, "Go to bed, now," to William
Shakespeare, "and put the pencil down. And stop speaking like that. It's confusing everybody."
2. Thinking about the tal k
a) Can you tell the story of Gillian in your own words (100 words)?
b) What does the story of Gillian question? (one sentence)
c) What is the hierarchy of subjects in every education system on earth?
d) What does it mean when Ken Robinson says: as children grow up, we start to educate them
progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side.
e) What is Ken Robinsons definition of creativity?
f) Can you explain academic inflation?
3. Di d you notice?
a) Did you notice the sentence you can see the blood run from their face.? Using a search engine
on the Internet, find another sentence using the same phrase.
b) Did you notice the sentence Because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I
right?? Using the Internet, find another sentence using: to go deep with someone.

calm down? Using the Internet and a search engine, find another sentence with the same phrase:
to put someone on medication.

1) hLLp://www.guardlan.co.uk/world/2010/sep/03/french-schools-puplls-feel-worLhless :
A British teacher at one of the leading universities in Paris has produced an extraordinary
indictment of France's admired schools, saying they humiliate pupils and could learn much
from other countries, including Britain.
In a book to be published this week, Peter Gumbel, a lecturer at the Institute of Political
Science known as Sciences Po attacks a classroom culture that brands students
"worthless" and that he says is counterproductive and contrary to France's republican ideals.
On achve bien les coliers? (They Shoot Schoolchildren, Don't They?) has already
provoked a storm.
"Why is France the only country in the world that discourages children because of what they
cannot do, rather than encouraging them to do what they can?" Gumbel writes. "I believe
France is missing a key element of what's wrong with the school system, an element that is
immediately apparent to any foreigner who comes into contact with it: the harshness of the
classroom culture.
"It's a culture you can sum up as T'es nul (You're worthless). You hear these words all the
time in France."
Gumbel says studies by World Health Organisation groups and the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development in Europe reveal that, in France, more than six out
of 10 schoolchildren complain of being anxious, four in 10 have difficulty sleeping, and more
than two in 10 have a stomach or headache at least once a week. "These studies show that,
while French children score quite highly in European studies on their ability and performance,
when asked they rate themselves below countries with low levels of literacy," he said. "So
even when they have the ability, their self-esteem has been knocked out of them."
Gumbel's book praises British schools, which may surprise UK parents accustomed to having
them compared unfavourably with those across the channel. He told the Observer: "Although
the French with their national curriculum have maintained standards and avoided being
dumbed down, their system focuses on the transmission of knowledge and doesn't even
remotely address the child or their wellbeing.
"There is more to school than getting good marks, and in Britain schools are not just a about
your brain but about sport and arts and finding lots of different ways of excelling. The British
system may focus less on results, but it nurtures self-esteem, personality and character, which
is something totally missing from the French system and this is tragic."
Gumbel's attack has touched a nerve in France. On radio talk shows, his views have had
overwhelming support from parents; his book was also given a six-page review in the
respected news magazine Le Nouvel Observateur.
Philippe Meirieu, a professor in education science, admitted: "Our way of testing and
evaluating [pupils] discourages creativity and the personal involvement of the pupils. This is
CnLu 2012 Lngllsh for LducaLlonal Sclences L3 !osephlne 8emon, [osephlne.remon[unlv-lyon2.fr

the cause of the relative passivity they show and that Peter Gumbel deplores. If pupils hardly
ask questions in class it's because they don't really feel bothered about what they're being told
or fear being stigmatised by their classmates."
Patrick Gonthier, secretary- general of France's second-biggest teaching union, Unsa
Education, said: "Our teaching staff could take this as an attack, but they are not being
blamed. It's the whole French school system that is stubborn to change and remains
profoundly elitist and dedicated to the grading and the selection of the best. For this to change
and other teaching methods to be introduced into classes there has to be a strong consensus
among professors, parents and politicians to challenge this elitism and focus on the success of
everyone at school, and we are far from having that."
Gumbel, 52, who also works as a journalist, has lived in Paris since 2002 and was prompted
to criticise French schools, colleges and universities after putting his two daughters, now aged
10 and 13, into the education system.
"There are 16,000 new teachers entering French schools this term who are undoubtedly very
clever but haven't the slightest idea about how to teach, and that is scandalous," he said. "The
key to good schools, as other countries have discovered, is having good teachers."
/2 34050-6 ,/17) /50., &/88+$#))3
I used to think that French education was the best in the world, writes Peter Gumbel.
Perhaps a little old-fashioned, but unlike the British or the Americans the French had resisted
the temptation to dumb down their curriculum. That meant children left school at 18 with an
admirably comprehensive knowledge of history, geography, maths, science and the liberal
arts. And you didn't need to spend a fortune on private schools, because the state system
provided the best education in the country.
Then we moved to Paris and sent our two daughters to school.
The teachers seemed good on the whole, and the programme was as rigorous as anticipated,
but something was amiss. There were obvious symptoms: tummy aches and other signs of
stress, an unhealthy phobia about making mistakes and flashes of self-doubt. "I'm hopeless at
maths," my eldest daughter declared one day. "No, you're not, you just need to work at it
harder," was my reply. "No, daddy, you don't understand anything. I'm hopeless."
It was only when I started teaching at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris that I figured out
the problem. Better known as Sciences Po, it's part of the "grandes coles" network that has
traditionally trained France's political and business elite. To get in you need to have done
fabulously well at school. The big surprise for me was not how bright these students were
and most are very, very bright but how low their self-confidence was. Getting them to
participate in classroom discussions was like pulling teeth. Exam time was trauma time: every
year, several burst into tears during the oral.
That's when I started wondering whether my experiences were simply anecdotal or part of a
bigger, system-wide pattern. It didn't take long to find a wealth of international comparative
studies, conducted by the OECD and other respected institutions.

They show conclusively that French children overall are more anxious and intimidated in
school than their peers in Europe or other developed countries. They're so terrified by the idea
of making mistakes and being lambasted for them, that they'd rather keep their mouths shut
than put their hands up.
The French education system has focused so narrowly on the transmission of knowledge that
it has ignored that other key function of school: to build character and personality. There's
almost no art, sport or music. Teamwork is an alien notion, as are such basic pedagogical
concepts as positive reinforcement, and teachers receive only scant or no training in effective
classroom techniques.
The French are right to uphold standards, particularly when compared with Britain, but in the
classrooms they go about it the wrong way. As one reviewer of my book told me: "You've
broken a taboo. Nobody ever talks about happiness at school here."
On achve bien les coliers ("They Shoot Schoolkids, Don't They?"), by Peter
Gumbel, will be published this week in French by Grasset.

Michelle is in her final year of the Sixth form and is studying for the International Baccalaureate. She is
originally from the Unites States and is a boarder. She was elected to be a prefect at the end of last year.
You have been a prefect for just under a week now. Are you enjoying it?
Yes, its different. Its good to work in a team, so you never feel like youre working alone.
What are the benefits of becoming a prefect?
You have more responsibility. I hope this will help me in my career, where I can use the leadership skills Ive
developed at school. I already feel more confident.
What do you hope to achieve in your time as a prefect?
Im working with Virginia and Steven on the Eco Committee, which Im really enjoying. I hope that we will put
on a big event like last years Trash Fashion Show, which was a big success. Id like to raise more awareness
about environmental issues around school because its something I feel really strongly about.
What are you looking forward to most this academic year?
The Sixth form Christmas Ball and hearing everyones speeches at the end of the year, on Speech Day.
You are a boarder. Are you enjoying the experience of living at school?
I really like boarding. I feel that if I stopped, I would miss out because a lot of my friends are boarders. I am a
weekly boarder though, so I get to see my family a lot, too.
What are your plans upon leaving school?
Ill probably go to university in the US, where Ill further my interest in environmental issues.

She stood before her class not knowing what to do. She waited painfully. Her block of children, fifty
unknown faces, watched her, hostile, ready to jeer. She felt as if she were in torture over a fire of faces. And
on every side she was naked to them. Of unutterable length and torture the seconds went by.
Then she gathered courage. She heard Mr. Brunt asking questions in mental arithmetic. She stood near to
her class, so that her voice need not be raised too much, and faltering, uncertain, she said: "Seven hats at
twopence ha'penny each?"
A grin went over the faces of the class, seeing her commence. She was red and suffering. Then some hands
shot up like blades, and she asked for the answer.
The day passed incredibly slowly. She never knew what to do. There came horrible gaps, when she was
merely exposed to the children []. The children were her masters. She deferred to them. []. And before
this inhuman number of children she was always at bay. She could not get away from it. There it was, this
class of fifty collective children, depending on her for command, for command it hated and resented. It
made her feel she could not breathe: she must suffocate, it was so inhuman. They were so many, that they
were not children. They were a squadron. She could not speak as she would to a child, because they were
not individual children, they were a collective, inhuman thing.
Dinner-time came, and stunned, bewildered, solitary, she went into the teachers' room for dinner. Never had
she felt such a stranger to life before. It seemed to her she had just disembarked from some strange horrible
state where everything was as in hell, a condition of hard, malevolent system. And she was not really free.
The afternoon drew at her like some bondage.
The first week passed in a blind confusion. She did not know how to teach, and she felt she never would
know.

"If I were you, Miss Brangwen," he said, menacingly, "I should get a bit tighter hand over my class."
Ursula shrank. "Would you?" she asked, sweetly, yet in terror. "Aren't I strict enough?"
"Because," he repeated, taking no notice of her, "they'll get you down if you don't tackle 'em pretty quick.
They'll pull you down, and worry you, till Harby gets you shiftedthat's how it'll be. You won't be here
another six weeks"and he filled his mouth with food"if you don't tackle 'em and tackle 'em quick."
"Oh, but" Ursula said, resentfully, ruefully. The terror was deep in her.
"Harby'll not help you. This is what he'll dohe'll let you go on, getting worse and worse, till either you
clear out or he clears you out. It doesn't matter to me, except that you'll leave a class behind you as I hope I
shan't have to cope with." She heard the accusation in the man's voice, and felt condemned. []
"What?" said Miss Harby, entering at that moment.
"Why," said Ursula, "Mr. Brunt says I ought to tackle my class," and she laughed uneasily.
"Oh, you have to keep order if you want to teach," said Miss Harby, hard, superior, trite.
Ursula did not answer. She felt non valid before them.
"If you want to be let to live, you have," said Mr. Brunt.
"Well, if you can't keep order, what good are you?" said Miss Harby.
"An' you've got to do it by yourself,"his voice rose like the bitter cry of the prophets. "You'll get no help
from anybody." "Oh, indeed!" said Miss Harby. "Some people can't be helped." And she departed.

Ursula felt her heart fail inside her. Why must she grasp all this, why must she force learning on fifty-five
reluctant children []. A great dread of her task possessed her. She saw Mr. Brunt, Miss Harby, Miss
Schofield, all the school-teachers, drudging unwillingly at the graceless task of compelling many children
into one disciplined, mechanical set, reducing the whole set to an automatic state of obedience and attention,
and then of commanding their acceptance of various pieces of knowledge. The first great task was to reduce
sixty children to one state of mind, or being. This state must be produced automatically, through the will of
the teacher, and the will of the whole school authority, imposed upon the will of the children. The point was
that the headmaster and the teachers should have one will in authority, which should bring the will of the
children into accord. [] Children will never naturally acquiesce to sitting in a class and submitting to
knowledge. They must be compelled by a stronger, wiser will. Against which will they must always strive to
revolt. So that the first great effort of every teacher of a large class must be to bring the will of the children
into accordance with his own will. And this he can only do by an abnegation of his personal self, and an
application of a system of laws, for the purpose of achieving a certain calculable result, the imparting of
certain knowledge. Whereas Ursula thought she was going to become the first wise teacher by making the
whole business personal, and using no compulsion. She believed entirely in her own personality. So that she
was in a very deep mess. In the first place she was offering to a class a relationship which only one or two of
the children were sensitive enough to appreciate, so that the mass were left outsiders, therefore against her.

Moreover the children, the scholars, they were insignificant little objects far away, oh, far away. And what
power had they over her free soul? A fleeting thought of them, as she kicked her way through the beech-
leaves, and they were gone. But her will was tense against them all the time. For she was held away. It was
no matter how she said to herself that school existed no more once she had left it. It existed. It was within
her like a dark weight, controlling her movement. It was in vain the high-spirited, proud young girl flung off
the school and its association with her. She was Miss Brangwen, she was Standard Five teacher, she had her
most important being in her work now.
Constantly haunting her, like a darkness hovering over her heart and threatening to swoop down over it at
every moment, was the sense that somehow, somehow she was brought down. Bitterly she denied unto
herself that she was really a schoolteacher. Leave that to the Violet Harbys. She herself would stand clear of
the accusation. It was in vain she denied it.
Within herself some recording hand seemed to point mechanically to a negation. She was incapable of
fulfilling her task. She could never for a moment escape from the fatal weight of the knowledge. []
Though she did not give in, she never succeeded. Her class was getting in worse condition, she knew herself
less and less secure in teaching it. Ought she to withdraw and go home again? Ought she to say she had
come to the wrong place, and so retire? Her very life was at test. She went on doggedly, blindly, waiting for
a crisis. [] The trouble went on and on, day after day. She had always piles of books to mark, myriads of
errors to correct, a heart-wearying task that she loathed. And the work got worse and worse. When she tried
to flatter herself that the composition grew more alive, more interesting, she had to see that the handwriting
grew more and more slovenly, the books more filthy and disgraceful. She tried what she could, but it was of
no use. But she was not going to take it seriously. Why should she? Why should she say to herself, that it
mattered, if she failed to teach a class to write perfectly neatly? Why should she take the blame unto herself?

She knew by now her enemies in the class. The one she hated most was Williams. He was a sort of
defective, not bad enough to be so classed. He could read with fluency, and had plenty of cunning
intelligence. But he could not keep still. And he had a kind of sickness very repulsive to a sensitive girl,
something cunning and etiolated and degenerate. Once he had thrown an ink-well at her, in one of his mad
little rages. Twice he had run home out of class. He was a well-known character. And he grinned up his
sleeve at this girl-teacher, sometimes hanging round her to fawn on her. But this made her dislike him more.
He had a kind of leech-like power.
[] One morning, at composition, she said to the boy Williams:
"Why have you made this blot?"
"Please, miss, it fell off my pen," he whined out, in the mocking voice that he was so clever in using. The
boys near snorted with laughter. For Williams was an actor, he could tickle the feelings of his hearers subtly.
Particularly he could tickle the children with him into ridiculing his teacher, or indeed, any authority of
which he was not afraid. He had that peculiar gaol instinct.
[]"Come in front, Williams," she said.
The rat-like boy sat with his pale smile and did not move.
"Come in front," she repeated, definite now.
"I shan't," he cried, snarling, rat-like, grinning. Something went click in Ursula's soul. Her face and eyes set,
she went through the class straight. The boy cowered before her glowering, fixed eyes. But she advanced on
him, seized him by the arm, and dragged him from his seat. He clung to the form. It was the battle between
him and her. Her instinct had suddenly become calm and quick. She jerked him from his grip, and dragged
him, struggling and kicking, to the front. He kicked her several times, and clung to the forms as he passed,
but she went on. The class was on its feet in excitement. She saw it, and made no move.
She knew if she let go the boy he would dash to the door. Already he had run home once out of her class. So
she snatched her cane from the desk, and brought it down on him. He was writhing and kicking. She saw his
face beneath her, white, with eyes like the eyes of a fish, stony, yet full of hate and horrible fear. And she
loathed him, the hideous writhing thing that was nearly too much for her. In horror lest he should overcome
her, and yet at the heart quite calm, she brought down the cane again and again, whilst he struggled making
inarticulate noises, and lunging vicious kicks at her. With one hand she managed to hold him, and now and
then the cane came down on him. He writhed, like a mad thing. But the pain of the strokes cut through his
writhing, vicious, coward's courage, bit deeper, till at last, with a long whimper that became a yell, he went
limp. She let him go, and he rushed at her, his teeth and eyes glinting. There was a second of agonized terror
in her heart: he was a beast thing. Then she caught him, and the cane came down on him. A few times,
madly, in a frenzy, he lunged and writhed, to kick her. But again the cane broke him, he sank with a howling
yell on the floor, and like a beaten beast lay there yelling.
