❓Are we asking the Right Questions?

In our last post, we asked whether behaviour systems are really working.
Now, we’re going deeper:
Where’s the motivation?

This reflection invites us to consider not just what we expect from students—but whether they understand, believe in, and feel supported to meet those expectations.

What if the real questions are:
• Can students do what’s being asked?
• Do they know what they need?
• Are we emphasising the right things?

And for us as educators:
• What do we do next?
• How do we involve families?
• How do we shift from control to curiosity?

At EMspace, we’re opening space for these conversations—and we’d love to hear your perspective.

How do we reconnect the youths to the roots? We need to talk about the culture.

🏫 Undoubtedly, the focus on cognitive development—thinking, planning, performing is necessary.

But when emotions are out of balance, the brain’s learning systems shut down.
No matter how good the lesson is, it won’t land.

So yes, it’s about the cognitive.
But learning can’t happen where a sense of emotional wellbeing and safety are not created.

Let’s be honest—can we truly support learning without supporting emotions?

🏫 We teach students to be literate in:

Science
Maths

But what about emotions?

🧠 Emotional literacy is just as important—but often overlooked.

Let’s start the conversation.
Let’s make space for emotions in every classroom.

Remember the insistent child who refused to go into his/her room or when you had to leave a light on, or a door ajar just to reassure that little one?

Getting back to school is a struggle that I know many parents will be dreading, even aside from those who present as anxious.

To me there is an apathy issue as well as an anxiety one.
To overcome this challenge there it will take a collective and concerted effort.
