Whole Lives

in-manuscript book by Michael Strong on Educating Kids and Culture

some thoughts on shortening/focusing...

what is the goal of Writing A Book? more precisely, what

• understanding of current reality do you want to spread

• plan/hope for the future you want to spread

• actions do you hope to see

  • parents (and others) to demand School Choice?

  • Entrepreneur to do a school Start Up rather than hoping the Public Schools will change?

  • ?

some contents in the book

• personal history of various educational institutions

  • these mostly communicate that humans (teachers, entrepreneurs) are messy things, and so it takes a serious FeedBack cycle to shake out the mistakes and hope that the rare success can be fed and grown

  • IMACS/DASH/FAST - see Exposing Young Kids To Science

• reference to ILT/Internal Lineage Tradition which seems like Tai Chi but isn't

  • article - a Chinese philosophy-based study of movement and life-refinement, now with private students all over the country, each learning the living practice of the I Ching, as well as the ways of ConfucIus, MencIus and Lao Tzu
