What a week!
I hereby give my own mini standing ovation to all the event planners out there. You are sorely under-appreciated. Why is that, all you non-event planners might ask? Well. First there are the lists. Lists of attendees, rsvp’s, items … Continue reading

The double standard of “Stealing Dreams
The other day I wrote about Seth Godin’s “Stop Stealing Dreams” and how I thought it missed the mark by 1) assuming that schools can be completely overhauled in a way that would enable children to pursue self-directed learning and … Continue reading

My response to Seth Godin’s “Stop Stealing Dreams”
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about the beginning of Seth Godin’s education manifesto titled “Stop Stealing Dreams”, because I liked what he was saying and thought much of it applicable to unschooling. Then, a day … Continue reading

Critical Mass
Normally I don’t read more than one book at one time. I like to put all my focus on one story or subject and be fully absorbed in it, if possible. However, this Spring (and I’m using that term … Continue reading

Yesterday I started reading Seth Godin’s manifesto (or “rant” as he calls it) on education, “Stop Stealing Dreams”. The link to it is here. So far, and I’m only a few pages in, my two favorite quotes are: Culture … Continue reading

Stop Stealing Dreams: Seth Godin on Education
Ok, I haven’t read it yet. I’m downloading my copy tonight. But I’ve never read anything from Seth Godin that wasn’t 100% on track. (And if you haven’t read any of Seth’s stuff, please stop reading this, go to … Continue reading

My penultimate post for 2011
We’re heading back to New York tomorrow morning, and depending on how long the wait at the Holland Tunnel is when we finally reach the city, (it’s torture, because we can see our building – so close and yet so … Continue reading

A little more from James Herndon
