Something to ponder...
From the book "Deschooling Our Lives," edited by Matt Hern:
"The trouble with talk about "learning experiences" is that it implies that all experiences can be divided into two kinds, those from which we learn something and those from which we learn nothing. Yet there are no experiences from which we learn nothing. We learn something from everything we do.."
"A central point of this book is that we are very unlikely to learn anything good from experiences which do not seem to us closely connected with what is interesting and important in the rest of our lives. Curiousity is never idle, it grows out of real concerns and real needs."
"We are even less likely to learn anything from coerced experiences, things that others have bribed, threatened, bullied, wheedled or tricked us into doing..."
stay strong and stay in touch,
all my love,
