For some reason your quotation from Dewey struck me just now, Robert, often as I have seen it. It got me to thinking along with thinking about AERA and its events and face-to-face time. Nice to be able to "see it" at a distance, but real time IS real time. Here is the quotation: *Democracy must be born anew in every generation, and education is its midwife.* *-*John Dewey. We talk a lot about metaphors around xmca and the metaphor of a midwife for education is certainly a potent metaphor. Would we put up with the success rate for education if that social/institution's success rate is less than that of the midewife. So what kind of a midwife is education, anyway? Where does the metaphor lead us? If you pick up some helpful pointers in Vancouver, let us all know! :-)) mike __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
