I love the Matrix movies
brain food October 2nd, 2007
One of my favourite films is the Matrix. Education is now at the point of choosing between the blue pill and the red pill: the red pill allows us to continue with the status quo, oblivious to the possibilities of a new reality. The blue pill would see us to leave behind that version of the world which no longer relevant or meaningful. Sadly, so many of the teachers I work with don’t even realise there is a choice to be made. For them, our students are fading into a world they don’t recongise or want to engage with.
Let’s not let the kids get too far down the rabbit hole without us!

Just wanted to correct a misconception here… the pills are wrongly portrayed in this post.
It is actually the Blue pill that allows you to remain in ignorance and the Red that took him out of the Matrix and revealed the truth.
