Manuel, Thanks for sharing - I am totally with you! Love Ken Robinson's message and once I found Open Space so an immediate connection!
Do a google for "unschooling" and you will see some open space education in action ;) For another like-minded perspective, check out John Taylor Gatto's book, *Underground History of American Education <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_History_of_American_Education>* - I suspect it would apply to many other "modern" countries:) I am a huge proponent of bringing this mentality to education and hope to do something with this in one of my lifetimes :) Tricia Chirumbole US: +1-571-232-0942 Skype: tricia.chirumbole On Thu, Nov 13, 2014 at 8:46 AM, Daniel Mezick via OSList < oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote: > Manuel, > > Yes, and you may have seen the "hole in the wall" video, where kids in > slums in India self-organize around learning, without any supervision at > all.
