Sudbury School day 72
Here's a recording of a live chat where I spoke with Anna and Marlen about the balance of freedom and responsibility.
The Sudbury School seems to be a reasonable alternative to other schools. There is a general branch of schools called free schools, that have varying differences. Sudbury is its own category. From the wikipedia page here are some facts. It opened in 1968 in Framingham, Massachusetts. There are thirty of these types of Sudbury schools around the world. They are only loosely associated. I would be essentially reiterating the wiki page so please take a moment and read it through.
As with everything, Im skeptical and if I am not, I suffer the consequences. So, from what I can tell sudbury is different from the other free schools. In general other free schools seem more liberally minded like they want to liberalize the kids. So I see this as a form of brainwashing, where the kid had no say in the matter. So I may be completely naive here, but I truly believe that kids are born innocent. They are candid. And when they are well loved by their parents and community, they love everyone else back. So after writing this, there's no doubt this is how the world operates. Children become the adults of today through suppression, not teaching, first suppression. They first have to suppress their beingness, who they are before they can accept the adult ways. Usually the word adult has a positive connotation, here I am using it with a negative connotation, because the adults of today allow for the mess we are in. If you gave kids power to decide everything, they would most likely do what is best for all, because they already know that that is what matters: people. Everyone knows this. I knew this, and i still knew this into college. The only problem humanity has had, at least in terms of children actually getting 'it' is the proper avenue to express themselves. Once you give the choice of what is best for all to kids, they will choose it. That is why the fundamental values of this system must change. In other words, the fundamental values of the adults of this world must change. What is interesting is that children are naturally responsible and also energetic. Adults should aspire to be who they were before they suppressed themselves. Candid, here, direct, honest, open, intimate, courageous, curious, exploratory, and more. Everything is known already. Everything we need to create a system of life is here already. The only piece missing is the human element. There is nothing special with the Desteni message, it is so utterly simplistic and yet people freak out because it would mean change, something inevitable. Desteni does not aspire to be great- it has a goal to accomplish and once that goal is done- Desteni has served its purpose and will not be required. Because we, humans, are the real value we have been seeking for in life. It is us, each one of us, including that which we have separated from the definition of us, the animals, the things we abuse daily, the air, the trees, the amazing fuckin trees that support you un-fucking-conditionally (if you react to the curse word sorry- I try to avoid cursing). Arrogance is futile, we are all equal. Nothing is new, nothing is special, it is all equal. Breathe..... Join me @ forum.desteni.org
