Oct 12, 2008 - Yep. Democratic education is the way.

FlyingOriginal Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - What's democratic education?

yvelleyzelle Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Students learn what they're interested in and decide how the school is run. This is opposite of the school model in the video, where students are taught to chase after the one-way definition of success.

yvelleyzelle Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - The video is also an example of what unschooling is: to dance through life as you learn.

Oct 16, 2008 - i wouldnt use the word democratic for that kind of schooling, considering the way our 'democratic' countrys are run.

Soulfree2008 Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - This is very important to understand, my friend. It means life is all about the 'ride'. The experiences and the feelings you get from those experiences. Instead of thinking that you need to have something 'accomplished' by the time you die. When one composes music, its all about the feelings it inspires while listening to it, not about how it ends. One must enjoy life without concerning too much about how much they are accomplishing, which can destroy the enjoyment! Hope this helps :}

JupiterIsland91 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - thanks!

Soulfree2008 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - No problem... I hope you are enjoying the ride!
