Replying to LO24769 --
Thank you, Rick, for asking the question about rules that is often
un-asked, but simply becomes an edict:
"We have all brought our bats and balls and gloves (it's baseball season
here...) over to your house so we can play. But now some of those
ball-hogs, like At and Andrew, can't play the way they wish anymore
because they have decided to play differently, or expand on the rules
or...whatever they are doing...we just don't like it so they better watch
it! It's causing us alot of constipation here in the backyard..."
I currently work in special education, and for years prior to this gig,
worked in adult education, business training and taught college courses.
I am the parent of a special needs child. And I am constantly asking, and
will ask again: In our world of education, does the word learning really
mean control?
Please support our learning and leave the control to reside beneath the
DELETE button on the individual's keyboard. I cherish this list and the
rainbow of opportunity it provides.
This is also a very nice reason to step up and quit my parttime lurking...
Thanks again for asking, Rick.
Charlie
[Host's Note: Thanks Chuck for this note. There's a genuine dilemma here,
and your question "does learning really mean control" is very important.
I'll reply separately. ..Rick]
