    Hey guys!

    So the Punished by Rewards reading didn’t really work out…it was a tough read. I wrote a blog post today about me re-reading Democratic Education and thought that maybe our reading club could be a big more organic – perhaps when we read books that inspire us we can then share our thoughts via blog and also post here?

    I wrote a blog post about this one today. One of my favorite books. You can see my blog here or just read as I copied and pasted below:

     

    Re-visiting My Roots

    I remember thinking that there would be no book that would affect me like A.S. Neill‘s Summerhill when I read it. I read Summerhill during the AERO school starter course led by Jerry M…[Read more]

    Twinkles @nancy and @abram.

    One idea I am just having is to suggest readings that we feel are a part of our “juice” in this movement.

    I would also like to explore and share readings that touch on subjects that come up in our school, like choosing to use minecraft and pokemon and the awesome these tools can create. Or read @abby‘s dr.who marathon…[Read more]

    I really like the idea of doing readings, perhaps we could start with short PDFs or even blog posts and work our way up to whole books?

    @Nancy I found it difficult to get my hands on a copy of this book during the first two/three weeks of holding this intention.  I understand the problem of it being just too difficult a read or being too dense to read and respond to with all of the other projects I’m engaged with.  So yes, failure in that sense on my end too.  I know I’m not th…[Read more]

    @Abram @Charlotte @Dinospumoni @Nina I declare complete and utter failure on the follow through this. I am finding that I’m just too busy to digest such a dense read right now. @Charlotte has expressed the same sentiment. Given that there hasn’t been any posts here, are you all feeling the same way? Perhaps this is a read to take in over a long…[Read more]

    Abram dB started the topic **HOW TO BOOK CLUB** in the forum Group logo of Agile ReadingsAgile Readings 8 years, 5 months ago

    At the ALF Weekend in October 2014, a group of ALFs decided to try to formally create an education based readings book club.  This was done in order to share our experiences and responses to these resources with the broader community.  The idea is that we will be able to engage more deeply with the texts (for ourselves) and to create shareable v…[Read more]

    We decided to read Punished By Rewards as our first shared reading.

    This is where Nancy will write her requests for this reading, or provocative/discussion prompt question.

    Then those who have the time or inclination to read or engage with the text will write their replies here based on that.  Comments (and or questions) will cascade from t…[Read more]
