Hi all, I've enjoyed the thread about muddling through. The progressive education people get this. There is a book by Chris Mercaglioni (SP) called, Making it up as we go along. He has been the director of an alternative school and a strong voice for collaborating with kids to learn together. I think public schools have a similar mind set to the corporate world., plan, plan,, plan. It feels fear based to me. We can't let kids have down time for fear of what they would do, get out of control? And of course, they would, at first...until they figure out we are working together. Thanks for all of your thoughts. Kathleen
