muddling through

[Chris Corrigan]

Kathryn:

Hiya from one unschooling parent to another.  I've written a paper on
the notion of freedom shock in Open Space based on John Taylor Gatto's
seven principles.  It's here:  http://www.chriscorrigan.com/papers and
it's called "Open Space Technology and the legacy of education."

I also stumbled on a great set of links today on unlearning, featuring
papers from the likes of our own Toke Mueller, Meg Wheatley and others
at http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/unlearning_reflections.htm

Enjoy.

Chris
