The People
Who are the people involved in a school? Everyone! Horace Mann
establishes this in his 12th
Report. Essentially, everyone is a part of the education of the youth.
The currently popular African phrase "It takes a village to raise a child"
is as true and succinct as it can get. No single group or person has more
power influence or authority than the object of the exercise: the person
learning. And since everyone is learning that makes everyone equally
important.
Discussion of specific players in this drama will be developed. Their
parts will be hammered out. Their roles further defined.
Issues of race, gender, class, and the differently abled will
addressed as this new environment is more naturally suited to equity, than
is the current traditional classroom.
