    Wow! You guys are AMAZING.   My background is in education as well and it is a delight to correspond with you.  Feel free to mention any matter on your heart or mind regard the reunification of "top-down" and "bottom-up" energies as Mary understood them.  My work elaborates concepts underlying Deming - as Ms. Follet understood them and attempted to communicate them.  What a REMARKABLE WOMAN!!!

    Hello,

    I think about using this text "Teacher Student Relations" as a main piece for building a theorical frame (not certain about the right term, sorry) that would help decision learning. I am thus looking for everything that was written about the implications of this text ? Does anyone of you (or of someone you know) get informations or datas about that ?

    All the best,

    Corine

    Been a long time since this group had any activity. I have something to share. I have been reading a rare book called Learning the Ways of Democracy, published in 1940. This book describes ways that a variety of schools in the US -- mostly high schools -- approached the teaching of democracy at that time. In many cases, it was very participatory, experiential. Very much in line with John Dewey's thinking of the time. We lost that practice in the 1950's, I think. Follett would have liked the stories in this book.
