There could be tool shops, libraries, laboratories, and gaming rooms. Photo labs and offset presses would allow neighborhood newspapers to flourish. Some storefront learning centers could contain viewing booths for closed circuit television, others could feature office equipment for use and for repair. The jukebox or the record player would be commonplace, with some specializing in classical music, others in international folk tunes, others in jazz. Film clubs would compete with each other and with commercial television. Museum outlets could be networks for circulating exhibits of works of art, both old and new, originals and reproductions, perhaps administered by the various metropolitan museums.”]]> 2021-10-27 00:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/olagunjur/z2me63jkloedcxnd/wish/1846563410 https://padlet.com/olagunjur/z2me63jkloedcxnd/wish/1846566842 "In a good educational system access to things ought to be available at the sole bidding of the learner, while access to informants requires, in addition, others' consent."]]> 2021-10-27 00:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/olagunjur/z2me63jkloedcxnd/wish/1846566842 Deschooling society- Aspire https://padlet.com/olagunjur/z2me63jkloedcxnd/wish/1846567252 learning society that has 1. things 2. people (models) 3. peers 4. elders - this sounds like a coop- which has pros and cons

liberating education, since they heighten their awareness of the fact that formal systems are built on changeable axioms and that conceptual operations have a gamelike nature."
