philosophizing with an old friend

4 stars

Excellent dialog reflecting on lifetimes pursuing radical education, seeking non-authoritarian ways of developing freedom for students to participate in knowledge production, to be respected as capable humans who bring knowledge and common sense to the classroom. To not be neutral as a teacher, teaching with an objective of structural change through education for all.

Review of 'We Make the Road by Walking' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

Fascinating book where two rad old men talk about their rad old lives. Lots of cool stuff in here about how they think about education, social change, and living life. Totally fun, and seems like it'd be useful if you're at all interested in empowering the people around you and/or education or just how some very interesting people thought and lived their lives.

Reading this book kicked off a whole swarm of poorly-formed thoughts about how to live my life. I want to re-read this book in a few months- hopefully it will help those thoughts fall into place. If this plan works I'll come back and update to a 5.
