Hi Peter! I am an old friend of Rebecca's (Camp Favorite, 1991) and she told me about you. I currently work as the Upper School Technology Coordinator at Roland Park Country School in Baltimore. I studied the history of progressive education at NYU for a while and am really interested in getting to know your ideas. Becki sent me your blogs, so I'll be reading and saying hi!

"What's new is old" (first seen on www.scmorgan.net.)
I pulled out just the portion of Dewey speaking, and am reposting it, b/c in my first attempt the video file size was way too big- about 12Mb. I captured it with Jing and saw no way to compress it, so I've redone it with Camtasia.

For the past few months I've been reflecting on this topic on my own at my New Progressivism blog. I'd love some comments!
Thanks--PG

I stand corrected on the quote; never believe a printer! But I do enjoy the sentiment.

Hi Peter: Love the image. "Are we downhearted?...Nooo!!!"
Pre dates the Blitz by a few decades: (1915)

Excellent piece, Peter. I've already distributed a copy of the article to our academic leadership. You did a masterful job of crystallizing what is going on in forward thinking independent schools. Thanks for writing it (and for recognizing that, unfortunately, the P word is tough to use in some parts of the country.)

I am checking around to find the school login and password for Ed Week. The first paragraphs look really cool.

Sorry about the weird image (it's Churchill, from the Blitz), but the Ning wouldn't let me start the group without an image--PG
