Treating all of Nature as a Thou

Thumbnail image for Treating all of Nature as a Thou by Adam J Pearson June 15, 2011

Martin Buber said that the most fulfilling relationships are not I-It relationships, in which we relate to the other as an object, but I-Thou relationships, in which we relate to the whole being of the other, holistically. Joseph Campbell ties into this idea in The Power of Myth, where he writes that First Nations people [...]

To Teach

Thumbnail image for To Teach by Adam J Pearson May 4, 2011

Teaching is for me an almost ideal profession. Yes, it is exhausting, stressful, and (in terms of mere money) poorly paying.  However, it is also transformative. It forces me to face my limitations, fears, and insecurities and grow.  It forces me to be bold, to dare to care, to practice compassion.  It asks me to [...]

Who will fight for them?

Thumbnail image for Who will fight for them? by Anthony P Johnson April 13, 2011

Too many prisons, but not enough good schools. Too many weapons, but not enough educational tools. Not enough effective teachers, but way too many fools. Too many students piled in one classroom–35 up to 45–and possibly more. Over 60% of them are academically incapable of passing — and more than 50% will drop out of [...]

Rise of the Educated Poor in the Republic

Thumbnail image for Rise of the Educated Poor in the Republic by Anthony P Johnson February 9, 2011

If nearly 3 in10 adults that have completed post-secondary education are living below the poverty line, does this mean the protective benefits of education are diminishing?
