Description:
"...Universal education through schooling is not feasible. It would be no more feasible
if it
were attempted by means of alternative institutions built on the style of pres
ent schools.
Neither new attitudes of teachers toward their pupils nor the proliferation of e
ducational
hardware or software (in classroom or bedroom), nor finally the attempt to ex
pand the
pedagogue?s responsibility until it engulfs his pupils? lifetimes will deli
ver universal
education. The current search for new educational
funnels
must be reversed into the
search for their institutional inverse: educational
webs
which heighten the opportunity for
each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning, sharing, and caring.
We hope to contribute concepts needed by those who conduct such counterfoil research
on education--and also to those who seek alternatives to other established service
industries. ..
