SOME SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVES
1.Children must be learning primarily through experience. They must be engaging their bodies and developing their physical capacities. For young children, self -confidence, and the beginning of
self-knowledge is centered in the bo
2.There must be time for children to be alone, to be quiet, to develop a relationship to their internal world, to silence, to hearing the whispers of truth that reside within.
3.Children must be educated as to how their bodies work so that they might have the opportunity for life long health.
4.Children need extensive time in nature.
5.There must be time for the individual and just as important, a focus on teamwork and community.
6.The teacher must be fully engaged in the path of self-understanding.
7.There must be a parent education program.
For schools to be worthwhile they need to have worthwhile goals such as:
creating independent, resourceful and fearless citizens
tapping the educational power of family life
bestowing significance on personal choices
arresting the epidemic of alienation and loneliness
restoring democracy as a natural mission
reversing the growing isolation of social classes
regenerating community life
Reforming our educational system means changing our conception of education, rather than simply modernizing schools and buying more equipment.
