I celebrate myself And what i assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

" I believe that a desirable future depends on our deliberately choosing a life of action over a life of consumption, on our engendering a life-style which will enable us to be spontaneous, independent, yet related to each other, rather than maintaining a life-style which only allows us to make and unmake, produce and consume - a style of life which is merely a way station on the road to the depletion and pollution of the environment." 🌱 . . . . . #anewearth #newhumanity #anewworld #environmentaldegradation #slowliving #simpleliving #freetolearn #selfdirectededucation

The institutionalised values school instils are quantified ones. . School initiates young people into a world where everything can be measured, including their imaginations, and indeed man himself. . But personal growth is not a measurable entity. . School pretends to break learning up into subject 'matters' to build into the pupil a curriculum made of these prefabricated blocks, and to gauge the result on an international scale. . People who submit to the standard of others for the measure of their own personal growth soon apply the same ruler to themselves. . They no longer have to be put in their place, but put themselves into their assigned slots, squeeze themselves into the niche which they have been taught to seek, and in the very process, put their fellows into their places too, until everybody and everything fits. . School teaches us that instruction produces learning. . In school we are taught that valuable learning is the result of attendance; that the value of learning increases with the amount of input; and finally that this value can be measured and documented by grades and certificates. . When; . In fact, learning is the human activity which least needs manipulation by others. . Most learning is not the result of instruction, it is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. . .
