Wonderful to hear an Oxford don pointing out in a plenary session that as long as school is compulsory, all we're doing is trying to become better slave-drivers...
But still, of course, the greatest benefit from a SEAL conference is the people-meetings: with those one's worked with in Argentina, in Russia, in America, in Bavaria, and hearing about the progress of the things we started.
And to meet new colleagues, like those who thought I had something to offer in Slovenia, or the girl from Taiwan who plays harp at home and wanted a run-through of how to improvise, and which led to her plan to come for a continuation in Sweden ...
After the Chinese massage I got in return for the harp session, I can only say "Great idea!"
