The end of this education: In 12 months each person should have 5 top texts they think NZ educators should be familiar with in order to teach anybody anything.
Meeting on the first Thursday of the month from February 2006.
5. Thursday ? May
Same readings as April.

Andrea mailed us something about Illich and something by Friere and Michael sent two readings "Understanding Paulo Friere" and "Deschooling and technology", contact him if you want a copy and don't have one.
Present: Michael, Sue, Andrea, Ben, Susan.
Discussion kept coming back to problem with deschoolers is lack of a positive thesis. What to do with people instead of schooling?
3. Thursday 9 March
We have three chapters for the next group, one from John Holt (Why children fail), one from Ivan Illich (Deschooling society) and one from Jane Gilbert(Catching the Knowledge Wave). The topic of the evening is obviously the 'Deschoolers'.
