Certainly, this is a place where the children are seen and known, a place where adults and children ask meaningful questions together and individually without the limits of an answer. But is this an oasis?
Failure is not separate from learning. When a child fails, something essential happens – which we see if we are attentive. In this world of comparison, failure can turn into shame. We live in a culture that idolizes success and recoils at failure. This conditioning can seep into how we raise and educate our children.
What does it mean to be fully present? Is it possible to be here in this moment with you and not be distracted by my “to-do” lists or the ever-emerging messages piercing notifications through my many devices and platforms?
Our teachers make space to demonstrate curiosity, make mistakes, and explore the world of knowledge alongside our students.
The teachings of Dr. King and Krishnamurti are a powerful call to recognize that we are one world, bound by a shared destiny.
