Reflecting on the Early Years Learning Framework and its critiques - Belonging sounds warm. But belonging always involves power. And in a school where families have moved countries so their children can succeed, the hidden curriculum of belonging is one of the most complex things any teacher navigates. This episode is about what students have to set aside to feel safe enough to learn. And what one classroom looks like when the teacher refuses to accept those terms.
