what it means to be free
freedom is such a loaded word..
what does it exist primarily to provide..
freedom from what.
freedom to what.
we are in the midst of defining what it means to be free - for teachers and students
there is no way to measure the effectiveness of a teacher.
in the past was complete freedom and pure art
today completely structured and all science
dewey -
purpose of public ed is helping people understand what it means to be free
what it means to be free is helping young people to develop capacity to exercise self-control in finding and fulfilling their own unique purpose in life
ideal model is both freedom and structure, both science and art
fractals - yay.
freedom is best unleashed through simple shared structures not unbounded prairies
