What to honor | the davenport

https://thedavenportblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/what-to-honor

Homeschoolers’ fight against common core is misguided. What test to teach to? March 13, 2014. Many devoted teachers love their students and daily make the best — and then some — of an otherwise bad situation. Let’s thank and honor those teachers, bless them, but please let’s do it without glorifying the bad situation. And what might a bad situation be? Https:/ thedavenportblog.wordpress.com/.

Newer posts →. Don’t wait your turn. March 8, 2013. This is a great article. By somebody named Mandy in xoJane. Here, where Mandy quotes Seth Godin, I paused. Seth says:. 8220;Our cultural instinct is to wait to get picked. To seek out the permission, authority and safety that comes from a publisher or talk show host or even a blogger saying, ‘I pick you.’. Once you reject that impulse and realize that no one is going to select you … then you can actually get to work.”. For our entire childhood! 8220;But...

What to honor →. Homeschoolers’ fight against common core is misguided. August 26, 2013. Once in Home Education Magazine. Nov-Dec 2012), Mark Hegener asked, “What does homeschooling gain by critiquing schooling? For all, and I admire them for it. But as time goes on, I’m finding my self more and more in agreement with John Holt and others who concluded that an individual approach to changing education, family by family, is perhaps more helpful and effective than large-scale reform efforts. That’s w...

Public versus obligatory | the davenport

https://thedavenportblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/public-versus-obligatory

You can try again. Standardized testing as logical outcome →. February 9, 2013. I strongly support public education. I am opposed to obligatory education. I believe that a system (or systems) of education — schools, teachers, academic classes, performance art classes, art studios, mentors, tutors, project-based activities, book clubs, gymnasiums, swimming lessons, science labs, nature walks, environmental projects, cooking classes — should be paid for by all and freely available to all. You can try again.
