space

in sharing ideas here.
Mary Ann asks if the space has to be inside the high school as an exclusive thing, Community spaces make sense.

current thinking
.. although i think we knew it in our hearts, recent events here have nudged us into thinking, definition of space is much like definition of culture. or perhaps it's very key to keeping culture.

while it's harder to maybe do, harder for most of us to trust, because it is so different, we're now thinking that designated homebase space could play out better if it's small/modest. at least if we're going for city as floorplan.

comfort, like definitive objectives, curriculum, etc, often keep us from being mindful. often keep us from immersion into life - into our communities.

the hard part.. taking that jump from.. there is no one space..to finding/using best suited spaces that already exist, that already host expert mentors, personally for each learner.

we say it often, but living it, being vulnerable in context - making school life, or doing life and calling that school - that's the challenge. that's the opportunity.
