I read it and I feel immediately connected to what you're doing and how you lived it. One bit in particular rang in my heart, your beautiful explanation of why a well-ordered classroom is important for the kids. Love love love it:<br /><br />"Home can be a democracy. There is room for opinion and independence and outright rebellion, even in some of the most strict families, but school is more like the army. There are rules for the group, everyone must abide, there isn’t a whole lot of special treatment unless it serves the whole lot, and there is mass compliance.<br /><br />The rebel in me balks at this. But, truth is, <b>this creates community, cohesion and safety</b>. A place where everyone gets the same and the same is expected from everyone." <br /><br /><3 <3 <3<br />DaniEglentynehttp://www.somethingknitty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434726458328084701.post-76408452007942363542010-10-23T20:58:03.192-04:002010-10-23T20:58:03.192-04:00kim,

I love it. Love the writing, the tone, the respect for kids. Love how it's not just about cooking, but about your life, too, and that's what's going to make it a real winner. And I think it's pretty awesome and incredible that you're opening up the process like this.
