Hollow House Syndrome

Nice article Villager. I'm assuming its from the book (the name of which I can't remember) but that I saw down in Island Thyme and that you are also the original author? Countrymike 12:35, 15 February 2008 (NZDT)

At the end of the article you make a (throw away) comment about the quality of the island schools. What do you base this criticism on? What do you perceive to be the problems at the local schools? Counting The Beat

Perhaps the problem is "school" in general, see: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Ivan_Illich:_Deschooling_Society ... and that "sustaining" school as we know it on Waiheke is not really economically scaleable or desirable. We could be using platforms like this very one we're on now to facilitate learning processes outside of traditional classroom. Countrymike 11:33, 24 February 2008 (NZDT)
