BLOG # 27 OCTOBER 28, 2013 WHO’S IN CHARGE??
Here is something that is heart warming and mind-expanding all at one time. It thrilled me to the core because it is proof positive that I’ve been telling the truth and surely know whereof I speak!
It’s about a pitiful little school in Mexico that happens to be turning out geniuses by allowing the children to be in charge of their own learning.
The implications are huge. The potential for change is awesome.

This is stunning. John Dewey must be doing cartwheels in heaven along with Neill, Montessori, Piaget and a few others. The internet and computer seem to be the catalysts that are transforming learning from the plodding industrial factory into the sparkling heaven of creativity.
I’m fairly turning cartwheels too! Truly, freedom for self-directed learning seems to open the floodgates. Just wait, we haven’t seen anything yet – –
Glad you liked the article! It’s truly inspiring to see what happens when we get out of the way and just let kids have fun with learning =)
Absolutely! Thanks for writing.
