Death of a Nightingale 2022

TODAY''S HERESY - TOMORROW''S ORTHODOXY?

Here is a play written to be read, and it is inside a thought provoking book that challenges the reader to consider these questions:

- What stands between us and the destruction of things we treasure?

- Who threatens it?

- When is diversity more important than equality?

- Which is the wiser mantra in education - Equality or Equity?

- How far does decrlaring a "Right" provide the protection of "a Right?"

- How do we reconcile an increasingly controlling society with a

participating one?

- How do we get a more efficient, less wasteful system of Government?

- How do we get better directed policies from all political parties?

- How does a multicultural society live at peace with itself?

- In this generation properly mindful of the legacy it is bequeathing

to the grandchildren of its grandchildren?

A play about the closing of a school for special educational needs provides some provocative answers.

In a world where many children are denied an education that is right for them.

We are equal only sometimes, unequal most times, and always different.

In short, this is a polemic right for our times, and important for all

those who care about the future of the rising generation in our schools.
