Words of visdom from NZ

Reading my feed of the Flux blog took me to an account of how schools in New Zealand are managed and governed and how autonomous their set up seems to be.

And just for those reading who think I should have written 'wisdom' in the title and made a mistake I decided to use my new word 'visdom'. This is a 'mash-up' word implying wisdom and vision together ... perhaps it will make a dictionary somewhere !

The huge quotation that I bring here is this:

When the elephant gets on the trampoline, everybody else has to jump at the same rhythm ... so don't let the elephant get on !! (the last bit is mine)

I wonder what, if anything, our primary schools heading for their version of BSF can make of this?
