Two weeks ago Johannesburg was hit with its first cold snap. \u00a0It always seems to catch the locals by surprise and we battle to fight the elements. \u00a0Not so for the hosts of the Cambridge Schools Conference, 2016, South Africa that took place at St John’s College, Houghton.<\/p>\n

For them the fresh air reminded them of a spring day in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Fortunately the sun often burns off the wind chill factor as we huddled on the steps overlooking the main rugby field.<\/p>\n

And as the 250 odd delegates moved to the Alice room, I’m sure I got the name wrong as I was used to calling\u00a0the bunker purely because of its location and looks, we soon all warmed up.<\/p>\n

It was said after the conference that it was the best one that they have ever held. \u00a0I can quite believe that. \u00a0The speakers kept my attention even as I crawled around the front of the stage and between the tables to get the shots.<\/p>\n

There was one speaker that stood out the most for me. \u00a0So many of the comments he made about educating our children resonated. \u00a0The one was comparing our children to someone in a wheel chair, that we push around everywhere because we think they need our help, only to find out that that child jumps out of the wheelchair as soon as we are not around. \u00a0Basically we spoon feed our children too much and need to realise that they are quite capable of learning on their own as they explore their world.<\/p>\n

PS on the first day, walking through the corridors, the central quad and admiring the statue of St David’s, it all came back to me. \u00a0I was born up the road and we lived on the property in Elm Street. \u00a0My father taught English at St John’s College. \u00a0I was three and a half when we left. \u00a0How ones’ life is stored in layer and layers in our\u00a0psyche often only triggered by\u00a0imagery.<\/em><\/p>\n
