Valerie -- I think what you propose is totally possible, if for no other reason than that Children, when last I checked, are human beings too. Surprise! And as a matter of fact a number of people over the years have been doing what you talk about and I would be sure that they will show up soon to share their wisdom and experience. I think particularly of John Engle in Haiti and Chris ? from North Carolina. Haven't seen Chris online here for a bit, but maybe this will drag him out of his cave. And since I can't remember his last name (happens to those of us with passing years), I don't know which cave to go to. Maybe somebody else does? So Go for it! Opening space of kids is sheer delight, and the learning that takes place is awesome.

Thinking today about a K-12 learning environment (both face to face and some online) and the work we continually repeat which seems to preclude any real innovation for those we serve. Is it possible to create and sustain a permanent learning environment for children and young adults based on the OS/AOH - a clear and bright way of action that engages the whole child? I thank you for any thoughts.
