WeVe used a lot of GWS space to redeflne learnlng, to take back from the schools the deflnltlon of ttrls acttvity so that when we talk about learnlng now' we mean somethlng very dlfferent from what the professtonal educators mean. Through the storles weVe told each other ln these pages' weVe come to see leaming as acuve, ongoing, and fluid. WeVe come to see it as something that people are good at and don't need to be made to do. - -where does thts redellnltton of learni:r$ leave teachlngf Is there a place for

teachers tn the ltfe of the self-dlrected learnef John Holt's "Notes for a Talk to Students' (see page 15) suggests that there ls. He says, "One mlght say that one of our important life tasks was to flnd our true teachers, to make our own untverstt5r.' By describing hls search for people from whom he thlnks he can learn something, John remlnds us that teaching, ln thls sense, is as much a part of human life as learnlng. We..flnd our teachers, we make our own unlverslty - John's verbs here are active ones with good reason. Pat Montgomery, writing one of the responses to John's'Notes'tn thts issue, says, "[Professionau teachers don't expect that other people wtll be able to determine what they need from them.' Professional teachers, tndeed, expect that theg will have to be the ones who determine what ought to be learned, and whether or not lt has been learned successfully. The nature of thelrJob demands this. They have to sssend.guess their students imagine their needs, rush to meet those needs. In John's universit5r, on the other hand, lt's the learners who decide whether another person has something to teach them. For this lssue of GWS, we asked several of John's frlends and colleagues to respond to hts "Notes' by describtng the ways ln wtrlch they have found teachers ln thetr ltve$. It's not surprislng that these responses took a personal form. when we talk about real teachers, we often mean people who have been tmportant to us ln many ways. Often, we don't even thlnk of them as teachers until long after our lnvolvement with them has ended, or changed form. In these response!, the wrlters were forced to articulate and make consclous aspects of a relatlonship that they may not have been aware of at the time. In doing so, they have helped us to redeflne teaching, to make tt, ltke learning, into somethlng acuve and ongolng. Many of the teachers these writers describe are si$niflcantly older or younger than they are themselves. They write about learning from an important older frlend as children, and learning from young chtldren as adults' With these stories, they remind us how limiting the age-segre$ation of our societlr can be.

when Merrltt clifton writes, "I recogntze my teachers when I flnd myself takfng to them tn my imaginatlon as well as ln actuallty," he sug$ests that teachJrs do not have to be aware that someone thinks of them that way. When they are aware of lt, though, there can beJust as much tn lt for them as there is for ihe learner. I can't remember who said, "We teach what we want to learn,' but tt's a wonderful way to describe the mutuality of the relationshlp between

teacher and learner. Ftee of all those worrles about what should be leamed and whether or not lt's been learned, a teacher ln John's university can enJoy the mutual tnterest and oqploratlon. So, of course, can a parent ln a homeschooling family, which ls whyJohn's metaphor has so much to say about how adults and children can live and work together. If each of us ls worklng to make our own unlversity, then we're all leirnlng from and teaching each other, often ln ways v/e don't recognize. You can't prevent teaching - ln this sense of people learnln$ from each other - any *or. ih"tt you can prevent learntng itself. This lssue of GWS focuses on flnding *.y of bringing thts thinking to our consclous understanding, teachers "J "ways the writers are talking about somethlng that weVe been but ln many addressing ln these pages all along. - Susannah Sheffer

IN MEMORIAM: GEORGE DENNISON We were saddened to learn that our frlend and dly George Dennlson, author of Tie lh.tes oJ Chidre+ dled on October 8th after belng tll wtth lung canc.er stnce January. Wlth George gone, we are all more alone tn the struggle for a better world. We will have to work harder, speak louder. John Holt, reviewing Tte Lh:r.s oJ Chlldrcn Jwst after lts publlcatlon tn 1969, wrote, 'It ts by far the most percepdve, movlng, and lmpodant book on education that I have ever read, or lndeed ener expect to. For whlle I hope that ln yeal's to come we may learn much about human growth and development that we do not now know, I doubt that any one book will advanc.e our understandlng as much as thls one.'We are now llvlng ln those'years to mme,' and lt seems to me that rather than having outgrown our need for The Htr-s oJ Childreru we need tt all the more. At one point in the book, Dennlson writes of Jose, a 12 year old who had arrtved in the Unlted States a literate 7 year old and had spent the next llve years te American schools "literally growtng stupider by the year':

He could not belleve,., that anythtng contalned ln books, or mentloned ln classrooms, belonged by rights to hdmsell or wen belonged to the world at large, as trees and lamposts belong qutte simply to the world we all llve tn. He believed, on the contrar5r, that things dealt wlth tn school belonged somehow to school... There had been no indicatlon that he could share ln thern, but rather that he would be measured agelnst them and found wantlng.

Unttl we understand why Jose Glt that nothtng ln school

belonged to htm, and untll we understand what were the consequences of that feellng and what we mlght do to change it, lt ts mtsgutded and

wen dangerous to talk about 'cultural llteracy,' 'schooling the poor,' or the problem of why young people in America don't seem to know as much as they ought to. We still have a great, gr€at deal to learn from George Dennlson.

We have as much to learn from hls flctlon, wtth tts clear vlslon and suggestlon of how to better llve ln the world, as we do from ?he Lir;,es oJ Childreru In Lulsa Donlc, a novel about a tormented Chllean refugee whose grief tnvades the llves of a famtly ln Malne, Dennlson

wrltes: Ida and Patrtcia set the table. Jacob and Liza were playfuag on the grass near the open slde door, and the dogs

were playlng near them. Ttre sun was low but stlll warm, the blue of the skywas at lts deepest, and therewas such a richness of color everywhere that lt was as if the world were thrummtng wlth muslc, or vlbratlng wtth Just-ended singlng volces. It was not the season alone that dtd thts, but the death that had Just touched us closely yet not with paralyzing grtef. I remembered how on other occaslons of death - in boyhood, ln early rnanhood, and twlce slnce then - a gr€at current had seemed to pass through werything, as tf with a thrummlng of music, and I had turned back wlth a hea'ry heart to a world redtaltzed, made lumlnous, and beautiful beyond descrip-

tlon.

In Dennlson's work, celebration and grief, hope and frustration exlst togetbrr. Perhaps lf we read hls words often enough we can learn to see wlth the same rlchness and clarity. - Susannah Sheffer

I flrst met George Dennlson through hts bools. Peggr Durkee, John Holfs buslness managpr, told me to read George's Oilers atd Sureepers when I flr:st came to nrork at Holt Associates and I enJoyed it a lot. Then I read ?h€ Lhns oJ Chfldren and reallzed why John Holt sald George was the linest wrlter altrrc. I met George ln person brielly at John's surprlse slxtreth birthday party; two years later I met hlm aSoln when Day and I drorrc John to the Dennlsons'home from Bangor, Matne, where John had been hospltaltoed for complicatlons artsing from hls cancer. He wanted to spend aweek wlth George and Mabel before returnlng to Boston. The Dennlsons llve about nlnety mlnutes south of Bangor. Their house ls a huge cabin built at the end of a long dlrt road thatwtnds up a large hill. Upon getdng out of the car, John tnslsted on lying underneath a huge tree ln front of thetr home. We spread ourselves out under the tree, looktng up through lts many branches at the sky. Mabel made us sandwlches and gave us fresh whole mtlk. "It's so fresh,' said John, 'You can sflll taste the cow.' Perchlng on the htllslde, looki:rg out at dlstant mountalns deep in the lumberlng reglon of Malne, was quite stunnlng to a ctty boy like me. For John, tt was thoroughly invigorattnt after so much flme spent tn sterlle hospitals. George arrived home whlle we u/ene still sitting under the tree. Needless to say, John and George talked a great deal and enJoyed one another lmmensely. That ntght George cooked us dinner, a marvelous garllc chtcken dish, and broke out his stash of In Bell.e Strassbourgousle beer for us all to enjoy. We had a wonderful tlme. John even played a few volleys of ptng-pong wtth George, wtih me spottlng behlnd hlm ln case he should collapse. John ttred lnjust a couple o[ rnlnutes slnce he was in such very poor condidon, but it was obvious that thts boosted hls spirtts. George struck me as a very lidnd, keenly obsenrant man who, like John, was not afratd to show hls enthuslasms. Plng-pong and Boggle (aword game) were his favorite games and he played themwell. Day, George and I stayed up untll 2 AM playlng Boggle, and our scores comblned couldn't beat George's. Hls rocabulary was broad, as was his knowledge. He talked about books, New York City, children, politics, blues muslc, keeptng a garden. wrtttng, poetry, and nral life with gusto and authort$r. The next mornlng I uras playing the piano, and George Jotrned me. He knew a bunch of blues rilTs and asked tf I would show hlm some new ones. We messed around at the piano and talked about the blues until it was tlme for breaKasL As evldent ln his books as ln hls home, George Dennison was a great frtend of chlldren. I don't mean this tn a sentlmental, pat-thekld-on-the-head way, so perhaps I should clart& that George Dennison was a great frtend to humanity. Navy man, engineer, New York street-school Gacher, therapist, writer about education, novellst and parent, George shared his experlence and knowledge openly in hts books and throughout hls lrft. I am fortunate to have met him. I only reallzed after we left the Dennlsons that both John and George spent very little ttme talking about educatlon. But why should they? They had sald tt all tn thetr books whtch, fortunately, are still wtth us. Pat Farenga

WE APOLOGIZE In the past, we have been able to 0ll,your book orders withtn a week of receiving them, but since June we have had some dilficulty betng thls prompt, as some of you may have bv now realized, We have also had more eirors in our subscrlptlon records than ls usual, and thus more delay in getttng the correct lssues to some subscribers. We attribute a lot of the recent dilIiculty to the

fact that both the Book,/Subscrlption nranager and Shipper/Receiver Jobs changed handJover the summer. We've also be,en busy computerizlng our subscription records, which makes'theJob much smoother and less laborious, but has, durlng this perlod of lmplementatlon, lnvolrrcd a signillcant investment of tlme. We've had to substlh.rte some efforts toward long-term organization for shortterm promP-tness, ln other words, and we are grateful for your Patlence during this time. Since September, we have been able to correct

nearly all of the errors and customer complalnts that we received over the summer, and our new shtpping and subscriptlon systems are now tn placc and worhdng' f:irant you for bearing with us, and for,betng so polite and understanding when you brlng problems to our attentlon. For vour lnformatlon, a few unforeseen factors fdr whtch we have not been responsible have contributed to the delays: o Our suppller sentus l5O sets of GWS binders that only hold 12 lssues, although we advertlse and ordlnartly sell blnders that hold several mone. We dtdn't catch the eiror until after we had sent out about a dozen binders, but the supp[er ls now rePlacing the l2-issue blnders wtth the ones we usually sell. kt us know fyou need yours replaced.

One more note: scveral of you use out-ofdate catalogs to place your orders' whlch causes dtlflculty for all of us (sorrrctlmes nrc no longer carr5r-the books you want' and rrc-ry often the prtccs have changed). Please ask for a current-catalog (or borrow one from a frlend) before orderlng. Ttre catalog that we bound tnto GWS #59 wiu be our current one undl next spring.

KEEPING BACK ISS[JES IN PRINT John Holt strongly believed that GWS should keep its back lssues tn Print' and we share that beltef. Very llttle of what we publlsh in GWS loseJ lts value over time, and iven those items that are timely - such as local news - are tmportant and useful as records of denelopments wlthin the homeschoollng movernent. People often ask us quesuorrl which we have alr,eady addressed eixtensive$ in GWS, and lnstead of repeatlng ourselves we can dlrect people to the approprlate back tssues, We are able to move on to new thoughts and questtons, knowirr$ that when we pr€sent a point of view or discuss an lmportant lssue, lt will always be there ln GWS for readers to come back to. All this would change if the back issues went out of prtnt. Recently our Prlnter started charEinA us about $l per lssue we reprlnt' wtrtch iJexactlv what-we ask subscribers to Dav us for an isiue. Common business sense ielis us that keeptng back lssues in print is not a wise use of our money or energ/, but we are reluctant to discontlnue what we feel is such an important pa.rt of our work. We appeal to you, consequently, for yorrr thoughts on thls. Would you be willing to pay more for back lssues than we now ask you to paf Would you enooura€ie people to order our back lssues ln the same ways that you are now enoouraglng them to become subscrlbers? What might make thls easler? One thing thatwe have begun to do ls to advertise particular back lssues in GWS sPwu trre spectftc ordered the have orfiereq oI you nave Several ofyou ttself.

We also want to encourage libraries to make the complete set of back lssues avallable, and we havi deslgned a specl0c flyer ficr ttrts purpose. (See 'subscrlptlon Drlve Update'' above.l

We've taken the space to tell you about th,is concern so that you can begin to irrvolve

yourselves ln our thtnldng, and perhaps tome up wtth spectllc suggestions about how we can-keep the back lssues available' We welcome your thoughts.

SELLING OUR MAILING LIST We hane comPtled Holt Assoclates mailing llsts and are selllng them dtrectly from this oflice.

What a great expertenc€ for our suburban kids to see how vahea Uving situations can be, but how universal family respect and love really are' We're looklng forward to making contact with more families through the Directory and would encourage others to do likewise. We're not all the same, even if we are all homeschoolers, and those differences make the world all the more fascinating. We have much to learn from each other'

Examlner:

For the llrst tfrne slnce the tesflng cmze swept Amerlcas schools a decade ago, a state-

mandated testing prognam has becn termtnated. Pressured by a coalltlon ofparent teacher and research groups, the North Carolina leglslahrre has voted not to con-

thrue fundlng CTB/McGraw Hill's Calfomta

Achlevement Tests (CAI) for flrst and gecond graders. -Thls ls a tremendous vtctory, especlally for chlldren,' satd Page Mc€ullough, Executlne Dlrector for the Atlanttc Center for Research ln Educatlon (ACRE), whlch has been flghttng to reform North Carollna's K12 testtnt poltcy for ten years. 'But lt ls also a vlctory for errcryone who cares about

teaching chlldnen well.' Irgislators deleted the testtng program over tJre strong obJecdons of the State Department of Educaflon, State Departrrrcnt of Public Instrucflon, and former Governor James Hunt. 'The quesflons and concerns ratsed by leglslators durtng the debate on ttrls tssue revealed a level of sophlsticatlon about testlng that I ha\rc never lieen before,' commented Mc€ullough. 'leg;lslators are no longer wllltng to slmply accept the prornotlonal words of test publlshere or the state's testlng bureaucrats. Iawmakers harrc heard too much about the down side from parents and teachers.' ...Among the aqguments ratsed by parents and teachers that helped wln the debate tn the leglslatune wene the following: The CAT tests had low rellabtllt5r for young chlldren - etudents' scores could fluctuate stgntllcantly from one test adrnint-

stration to another.

These tests had low content valfdity - the

test did not overlap closely wlth the etate's

curriculum r€qulrements,

Scores from a standardlzed test provide educators wtth lfttle useful lnformadon because young chlldren dwelop at very

The state budget now contalns a provlsion bannlng the purchase of norm-referenced tests tn grades one and turo and r€qulrlng the state to 'provtde derrclopmen-

LEGAL APPEAL IN GERMANY Fwm Clantdta Barbr (Cemnry) wta obut her Janfly's legal boubles tn

GWS*57:

We had a heartng tn early May ln our appeal of the flne that uras lmposed by the School Oftcc. TheJudge was qutte surprlsed to learn that the flne was DM4OO (about $24O

rtght novd; tn all the pr€vlous tnrancy cases he had handled, lt had been DMSO or DMIOO. So he was a btt rnore sympathetlc to us than he mlght otherwlse harrc been. He was lmpressed by Garry's descrtpdon

of the books, encyclopedtas, computer programs, etc., that we provlde for the clrildren, and by Garqr's Ph.D, (Gerrrrans are even more lmpressed than Amerlcans by fancy pleces of paper.) And because urc are U.S. cltlzens, he was lncllned to llnd a way to avotd further problems for us. flhls ls an unfortunate result of the Untted States' beireg 'Germany's colontal orrcrlord,' as ou! lauiyer put tt. I resent betng g1trrcn preferrcd treatment, but to be reallstlc, ft probably made a blg dtlference.) Garr5r also potnted out that we rpould be tn Germany only another few months, so tt made more scnse to contlnue to educate David ln Engltsh than to expect hlm to study ln German, whlch ls dllltcult for hlm. Davld's teacher from last year testllled that he was an extrerrrly dlfllcult child, frequently dlsmptlrrc, and unwtlltng to do as he was told. Our lawyer asked her why, lf that was the case, theywere so eagerto have htm backl Unfortunately, he ns/er got an anurwer. The whole tldng dragged on for three hours, and the upshot was: l) The flne was dropped; 2) The proc.eedlngs were dlscontlnued, l.e. we were rptfound not gutlty, but no rnore llnes urculd be lssued, nor other acdon taken; 3) Davtd uras rqulrdto go to school, but could not be.forced to go. If the dlsdncton escapes you, as tt dld us, what lt means ls, Davtd ts supposcd to attend school, butwe, his parents, do not have to force hlm to. So, essentlally, we won - but not really. The declslon was at least parHally based on our lntenflon to leave Gerrnany before the begtnnfng of the new school year, so what wlll happen when the school people ftred out 1r's'6 sr{ll here ls anybody's guess. Worse, we've had no elfect whatsoerrer on ttre compulsory attendance liaw nor on lts enforcement agalnst those who don't happen to be U.S. cttizens, here for a fatrly short tlme, and able to alIord a Laory.r. Somedmes I wonder why I feel so good about the hearlng. An aslde about school phobta, Our Lavyer's urlfe told me that one-third of the

rnonth of 'schooltng.' I put schoolng i:r quotee because thelr experlence ls rather unlque. They are taktng only the courses that they want to take. John at flrst only had one art course, but he dtd not think that was sulncient, and he wanted a class that guided rather than dictated. He dlscussed thts with his prlrrre teacher and the next day he had four art classes, some of which he can do what he urants ln and recelve the guidance he wants. Soctally they are dolng very well. They seem to be very much in demand. The Swedlsh culture stresses the democratic ideal so the gtrls do not stand on ceremony. Mtchael and John have received invitaflons fiom the girls as well as the boys. The schools here do not hanre the problems wlth alcohol and drugs that the U.S. schools do, the streets are much safer and the buses are safe and reltable. Thts has gtven them and me a much

greater degree of freedom. Thelr performance in school has been outstandlng. They started three weeks behind the others and have alreadv exceeded the classroom expectatlons. The teacher said, 'They are wonderful boys. I look forward to seelng therrl They come errery day and they are always smtling, eager to learn, attentive, and they have such remarkable memories. They leam so fast. They are very polite and not at all troublesome." She was surprised to learn that I do not get them up and drive them out to school every day, nor do I demand that they do thelr homework, though I am available to asslst them. She said, 'It is hard to belierre that they have never been schooled before ln thelr llves,"

WAYS TO HELP RESEARCH Jon Warte s

TEACHING PAREN':IS

ASSoCIA1ION (WN urltes:

Durtng the last several years I have been looklng for ways to help homeschoolers achlerrc acceptance by others. I have been tncreaslngly drawn toward a researchorlented strates/. Most people who oppose homeschoollng do tt out of lgnorance. One of the most convlnclng ways to change thls, espectally with legtslators and professlonal educators, ts to pmvlde sound research lnformaflon about the results of homeschooltng. By focuslng on the results of homeschooling, you b)pass all of the

arguments about why lt shouldn't work. Also, rrnst professtonal educators and many legislators hanrc a tratntng ln research. It ls

an approach thry respect. In a recent rerrlew of the research llterature, Brtan Ray of the Flomeschool Researcher lsee our Resource Ltst in thls lssue, p. 331 found only elerten studles dealing with homeschool outcomes and noted that many of these studles had moderate to serious defects. Part of the problem is that there have been other research ellorts but they have not been properly written up and

are not flndlng thelr way lnto the literature. What can homeschoolers do to change

thts? We can actlvely enoourage people to become trlrolved ln conductlng research regardlng homeschool outcomes. Thls can tnclude people (homeschoolers or no$ who are looldng for a PhD or Master's thesls toptc, but should also lnclude those who rntght want to earn credtt for a 4OO or 5OO lerrel unlrmslty proJect course or thos€ who have a research background and simply llke to do research. We need to get theword out that research ls needed, lmportant and

apprec'tated. There are four thlngs that homeschoolers can do to help a potendal homeschool rese€rrcher. Flrst, encourage the researcher to ptck a toplc dealtng wlth the results of

homeschoo[ng. Thls may relate to elther

academlc or soclal outcomes. Even proJects

as slmple as a tabulatlon of homeschoolers' test scores arevery useful. Have the person call me or other rescarchers for speclfic ldeas on toplcs. Second, have the rcsearcher contact Brtan Ray for back tssues of the Hone *hool Researcher. Thls wtll enable the potenflal researcher to catch up on what others have done ln only a few e\r€ntngs of readlng. Thtrd, provtde support, A homeschoolers'support group could 'adopt a researcher' and provtde lnformaflon about homeschooLng, help ln nndhg homeschoolers to tnclude tn the suruey, and perhaps some Ilnanctal support (even volunteer researchers need to pay for prtnung, matltng and phone costs).

Fourth, encourage the researcher to wrlte a report tn generally accepted research format and submlt tt to the Home *ltrpl Researcler for publtcatlon. In thls manner, the results wlll become avatlable to other homeschoolers and other researchers, Also,

the research stands a chance of maktng it tnto a m4or educatlonal Journal tf Brtan Ray can keep abreast oftt and prepare tt for such

publlcatlon.

I hope that ln a few years, when homeschoolers approach thelr legfslature, talk wlth the local superlntendent, or explain what they are dotng to skeptlcal relatlves, they can produce 15-25 quallty research reports suppordng the clatm that homeschoollng can be good for chlldren. Most of those who oppose homeschoollng out of ignorance will turn positlve - good lnformadon wlll replace

the lgnoranct.

The other rnornlng we were tn the mtdst of our dally lesson tlrne, a pertod of a couple of hours. lo-year-old Wlll was wrlttng a letter.

I mustered enough composure out of my rtsing anger and fear that maybe he was rtght, maybe he nerrer wlll learn to wrtte, to say, 'OK, let's put lt away for now,'and to leave the table, telltng myself, 'Just don't say anythfng 'flI weVe both calmed down.' Wlll sat ln sllence and mlsery, and then went outdoors. By the time he returned he felt better, and urc cpuld talk. Iater he llnished the letter calmly. What I found most lnteresting, though, was the comment l3-year-old Ben made after Wtll lefL He shook hls head and grlnned and satd, 'Mom, how come he acts Just like I used to, but I don't do that

anymore?"

I laughed, rememberlng the day before when we had been maktng a tlme line, somethlng Ben was tnterested tn doing, and he had been trytng to placc dates on the line. He'd come up agatnst some prett5r welrd fractlon problems, and when he stumbled, he went lnto hls verslon of, 'Mom, I can't do thls, I'll nerrer learnl' In splte of that, I had to agree wlth Ben

somethlng whlch lsn't cornlng easlly with more confldence than he used to. What part have I played tn this growth? Or did itjust come wtth age? Our 7 year old was reading the story from Frqg dndTudTqetlerwhere Toad trtes to get his seeds to growby shoutlng at them,

then readtng and playtng the vloltn to them. There's a message here for us parents - how often do we think we must shout our children into growing? But wtth chlldren lt lsn't qulte so stmple, ls tt? Chtldren do need belng read to and hearing music. I-arnlng occurs because the chtld ts ready ondbecause the parent surrounds hfm wlth opportuntgr. Durlng the fouryears that our chtldren have been learntng at home, one of the most bewilderlng questlons for me has been thls one of the chtld's readtness. How much do I walt for him to be ready, how much do I lead hlm to be ready? It seems that structure and frustradon are related tn a paradoxical way. In her book A Ctrcle oJ Qutet, Madeleine L Engle recalls a \vriting workshop she led. The participants dtdn't want to recognlze a need for structure undl she forced them to admtt that we all have to have lt ln our very bodtes. Without a skeleton wed be ltke helpless amoeba. What I want for my children ls for them to develop thelr own structure' Relytng on

somoone elsc's, as chlldren do ln school, does not allow you to dtscover your own. But nerrer betng gufded, lf that ts neaessary, to dwelop your owrL leaves you fmstrated wlth the task of lt[e, rather ltke an amoeba requtred to run. Our daughtcrJenny, almost 12, has been a self-dtsctpllned, self-moflvated, organlzd and creatlrrc penpn slnce she could wallc She bastcally leams on her own wlth little tnput from me. She wrltes and reads voraciously, draws, sern, runs r€gularly, plays the violin -

whaterrcr she decldes to do, she decides to master, I belleve more involvement on my part would dlsturb her inner dtrection. I see her learnlng thlngs that tn the past she has steered away from (and which I had secretly wished she'd express lnterest tn) when they now flt ln wtth what she's dolng. She says she hates soctal studles, but ls now readlng books about Spaln so she can write a story set there. If she were my only child, I'd say lf allowed to stmcture thelr own lives, chlldren learn all thcy ever necd to know, and experlence a mlnlmum of frustratlon ln the process. But we have four other children. Our 7-year-old La.ura. ln the same envlronment, is c.onstantly sayhg, 'I'm bored, What can I do?' 4-year-old John, however, always has a proJect going. Wtll wants to do thlngs perfectly; he often gets extremely frustrated. Ben, the l3 yearold, has, ever slncc I can remember, had trouble focuslng himself. He would get interested ln things until he reached a hard spot, and then become frustrated to the point of quittlng. Ben's three years ln school undoubtedly dld not help. But looking around the world, I see people who went through school who do have lnner structure, as well as a lot (like mel) who have trouble with it. Any progress I've made wlth these fatltngs came from suffering awful consequences in college [the first time I was in a sltuatlon that requtred that I organlze mysel$ and with motherhood. I care so much about doing well by my famtly that I\rc cultlvated dtscipllne and organization In my Me - well, most of the dme. Do some people nwer dwelop these strengghs because as chtldren they were g;iven so much outslde

structure that they could

nener develop their own? Do they continue to

fatl as adults because they never find work

that they love? In my life I have leamed to control what I must do, as well as what I choose to do, rather than being controlled by it. I try not to put things off. Knowing I haven't done something when I should have makes me an:dous and less able to tackle tt, just as tt does Ben. I try taktng small steps in the beginnfng, setdng small goals, like 'I'll write a Gw pa.ragraphs.' If I get started, that small sucoegs glves me momentum to do more, and more, and more. IVe come by this painfully. Can I pass it on to Ben? I harrc, as I said before, seen blm make progress. I'll never know lf this would have come about no matter what I did, for, like Toad, IVe done a lot of thlngs, lncludturg a bit of shouttng. I now suspect that occasional frustraUon ls an lnevitable part of learning. Think back to the last time you leamed something. It ls

thrtlling, but that's after the hard spots, which are hard. The examples of frustratlon I descrtbed at the beginning of this wer€ cases where the children wanted to do what they GROWING WTTHOUT SCHOOLING #60

wer€ dotng. I erren aceJenny eJcperlenc'lng fmstratlon ln her many endeanors. Usually she solves tlrc problem on her onm, and I don't hear about tt untll lt's an anecdote. If she can't sohrc tt, hortever, she brtngs tt to nrc, and behavesJuat ao she does wlth frustraUon about tasks IVc askcd hcr to do, She transfers her frustradon from the task onto me, and ls angry and resentful, I remember dotng that to my parents, but never to a teacher. I wasn't that relaxed wlth them, In school, oer€sstng frustnflon ls absolutely out. Chlldren ln school barrc many more threatenfng learntng tlrrrs, but they have to pretend they feel conlldent or they'll be put down. Thry harc to deal not only wlth the fear that they'll never learn, but also wtth the fear that they are the only ones who feel thls way, At home our chlldren can have a

healthter way of handltng frustration. We can reassune them ttrat tfs OK Thry can scrleam and cry and go away unfll they feel stronger, It's not always pleasant to glve them that Honr. But that ts c.ertalnly thc freedom that I expect when fm struggltng to learn somethlng that's dlIBcult.

FINDING WAYS TO HELP Susan Rbhman rcspondd,: My klds frcquently experlence frustratlons wtth learnlng also, especlally my boys, Jesse (now lO), and Jacob (now 4. Molly (4) usually meets challengee wlth more ease and equanimtgt, but she too has her tlmes of personal outrage when thlngs don't corne easlly. One thlng I have dellnttely nottced about both boys ts that they seem to thrtve on some struchrre to thelr days, some 'lnner gkeleton' to our datly llnes and Jolnt expectattons. If I Just let thfngs sltde and don't ask them to take part ln certaln thlngs regularly wtth me, then I mcet all sorts offrustraflons and anger and groans and arguments whenl wenhrally suggest thc acuvtty agatn. Take recorder playtng wtth Jacob. When u/e play regularly, we denelop a rhyrthm of howwe should go about the muslc ttme. Jacob gets better and better (very gradually, mlnd you), less frustrated wtth hfmself. But when we sltde, and let days, errcn rveeks, go by wlthout our spedal muslc tlrne together, then It ts ltke golng back to square one, or pcrhaps mlnus three. Jacob can clearly and palnfully realtze that he no longer ls as good as he nrae Just a short whlle back, hls flngers are clumsy, he slouches and groans, furrows hls forehead, audtbly rx)ans and complalns. It ts alvrays very temptlng when thls happens Just to lay olf the whole ldea of plaSrlng mustc wtth Jacob, Juet say to myself that he ls not ready and try to agaln ln a year (or three, or nerrer). But somehow the menrory of the good tlmes we\rc had uron't let me do that, and so I perseveFe. I try agatn the next day, and often It ts more of the same. But then the next day, It's somehour not so bad. Thtngs start movtng along somewhat postHrrcly once a€ialn. Soon ctacob ls taklng rrnre control of the gltuatlon,

dectdlng how we'll structure the day's ttme, lt and look forward to playlng recorder together as a regular exp€ctatton tn our day. We get back tr our rhythm, and can nprrc forward. I'rrc seen thls eo clearly wlth Jeese, too. Jesse has wrtttcn a lot over the past sorcral We both begtn havtng a good tlrne of

and I usua$r reEp€ct that wrlthg can't take place much tlren. But soon fallwlll be here, and urc'll start In agaln. I expect he'll feel rust5r. He'll probably harrc trouble zerolng ln on a toplc, probably harc troublc wrftfng thoughts wlth any fluency or spced, probably leanrc out all punctuadon and capltal letters and s€em to hane regressed terrtbly ln spelltng. He'll probably groan about tt all, and I'll probably be demandlng and crtflcal

and lmpaUent.

But I feel certaln urc'll make tt. I feel

conlldent that *e'll Ept over that tdtfal hurdle. We'll probably spend some tlme rereadtng hts old wrtUng from last year and the year before, Just to get a feel for where he was when he left olf. We'll make a new u/rtflng folder, dectde what types of paper or notebooks he wants to use for trts rough drafts, or lf he's gotng to focus on tlptng on our word-proc.essor. We'll probably try to set goals together for wrttlng ldeas, bratnstormlng together about toplcs, styles of wrtttng that he mtght want to try, new places to

But I was asklngJess€ to conslder a new plect, and qulte a hard one for hlrn Sometlrrrs I would push htm beyond hls endurance or capabllltles, wantlng to work on errerythtng tn the ptec= at once, or wanting htm to keep at tt for far longer than he could bear. Now that I'm worldng on a new ptec€ agaln too, I know agafn the frustratton of getUng one hand golng the rlght way, but havtng tt all fall apart when I add the other hand. It takes slowing down, brealdng the ptece down into smaller blts, lgnortng the sccond half of the plece unul I get the flrst part more ln control. Now I'm more empathetlc and responslve wlth Jesse and hls llmtts and needs, because I'm feeltng all of thts tn rnyself agarn. I was amuscd by an lncldent the other day when I was vlstttng homeschooler Carol Wtlson in Ptttsburgh. Durtng an extra moment I trted playtng my Clementl Sonatlna on thelr ptano (one of my 'poltshrng up' pleces that sflll needs some poltshln$. Carol's son Luke (almost 9) heard the muslc, and Carol orrcrheard htm say to Jesse, 'Wowl What ts she playtngl Thafs not e\ren on my Suzultl tapel That sounds really hardl' Carol has olten sald that Luke feels terrlbly frustrated wtth anythlng lf he can't get tt

perbctly the very flrst ttme he trles tt, and

she thlnks rnaybe Jesse was tryfnt to help Luke Gel less overwhekned by my seening mastery by replying, "Oh yes, but she's been worklng on that plece for over a year now.' And tfs true. I have been. And I'm sure I'll sttll be worktng on lt next year, and Jesse knows thls. He overhears my pnactlce tlmes, hears me trlldng about my pleces, hears me stumble over partlcularly hard parts, knows how I backsltde tf I don't practlce regularly, and he hears me gradually get better over tlme. He knows I don't glve it all up Just because tfs hard. He also knows lfs not magtc that I can do what I can now do. He knows IV€ worked at lt a long whlle, for hours and hours and hours over several yeara. [SS:l I remember feeling frustrated at not belng able to understand a partlcular homeipork asslgnment, and reslstlng my parents'gentle attempts to explatn it to me. I knew that they were trying to help me really understand, but I dldn't feel as tf I had that ktnd of ttme. What was irnportant was getttng the asslgnment 0nlshed. I'm krterested tn the way that, rathering than ollerlng her chlldren spectfic advlce, Susan Rtchman lnstead lets them see how she herself works, thereby givlng them a model that they can use for whatever they choose to do. Recently Pat Gould, in our office, asked me how I happened to learn that writturg and edtttng lrrvolve a serles of ellorts and revlslons. I had to think about lt for a while before reallzlng that much of tt has to do with how fully my parents let me see them at ther adult worli Watchtng my father get a theatrlcal productlon ready for opening nlght, for example, I saw actors and director work for hours on a parttcular scene, or even on one lfure of dlalogue. Even after the public performances began, the group still worked to rellne and shape thelr elforts. I learned, wlthout reallzlng lt, that nothtng ever stops wtth the flrst attempt, and I was able to transfer thts to my own work. Susan

Rlchman's example, therefore, doesn't limit her chlldren to lmltaflon of the speclflc work she ls demonstradng - they wlll be able to take what theyVe seen and apply tt any-

where, about nature, ecology, adventure, language, history, math, space, world problems & more.

CHALLENGES & CONCERNS SCHOOL KIDS AND HOMESCHOOLERS Andrea lfcll/;g-Rosenfury

Mahe

wrtles: I have become more and more upset at the negatlve tone that has developed tn GWS when talklng about schooled chtldren. I count some schooled ktds among my dearest frtends. They are ldds, and wonderful, flrst, members of thelr famllles, second, and schooled a poor thlrd. Negauve patterns of behavlor are a part of life. They are part of how nre learn. Ttrey occur ln schooled and unschooled lidds. They're leamed from teachers and peers but mostly from parents. Ifs our Job to unlearn our own negaflve shrlfso we can help our klds unlearn thetrs, not to go around potndng Judgmental flngers at other peoples ldds' negaflve shrlf. I thtnk lt ls very lmportant to teach our chlldren r€spect for others, and thts meana seeing the best, the true and the good ln everyone. It dlsturbs me to see ldds wrtttng to GWS about schooled llds as though theywere lnferior. Perhaps the problem ls not the schooled klds but that the homeschoolers ar€ ptcktng up thetr parents' preJudtced attttudes, or poor leadershlp tn the groups that lnclude schoolers and homeschmlers. [SS:]

I repll&

I agree that for homeschoolers to adopt a general attitude of superiorit5r to schooled klds would be horrtble. But lt's my feeltng that that's not what was being expressed i:n the letters you refer to ('Classes With School Ktds,' GWS #56, and'Difficultles Wtth Groups,'CWS #58). Rather, the lntds were 0 thtnk) ocpresstng upset or frustraflon with schooled bg,ho;ulor - the same behavlor that

parents are concerned about when they see tt dweloplng ln thetr chlldren after they go to school for a wtrile or play with klds ln whom

thls behavior ls prwalent.

Many parents have commented tn the past that when groups of homeschoolers play together there seems to be less meanness, teaslng, excluslveness, and so on, It's an observatlon worth notlng, slnce lfs rnade so frequently. And tf homeschooled ktds say they are confused or troubled by the behavlor they see or ogerlence ln groups of school liiids (when taktng classes with them, for example), that's somethlng worth talldng about too. If you come to a group (as Serena Gtngold descrtbed ln OwS #58) ready and eager to make frtends and do fun and lnterestlng things, and tnstead you flnd a lot of goollng olf, fooltng around, name calling and so on, you're bound to be dtsappotnted. One thtng that has helped homeschoolers IVe known to better understand the source ofthese behavlors has been some dlscusslon of the way children are treated tn school. Thlnldng about the way that belng bored, or plcked on, or excluded from a grouP, rnlght lead a chlld to act helps homeschoolers not to dlsmtss schooled chlldren as a group, I thlnk. It makes them less ltkely to conclude that a partlcular child ts Just plarn mean, and maybe glves them sorne c'ompar.slon for the

other chlld's sltuation. I hear lessJudgment than cpnfuslon and fmstratlon comlng from the young wrltersl

who harrc dlscussed thls lssue tn GWS. I do nrant to glrrc people a chance to talk about these ttrlngs, but I certatnly agree that we

work.

COPING WITH ISOLATION

In the momlngs, I had to get up very early to stand outslde and watt for the school bus. I vrasted an hour and a haUof my ltfe, flrrc days aweek, rtding the schml bus. I did try to study on the bus, but it uras really

should be rcry careful not to slp lnto talklng as though lt nrcre the ktds, and not thelr behavlor, that was the lssue.

F'ton Leslle Westrwn (IN: Three cheers to Barbara Nye ("Ftnding Other Chtldren," GWS #58). I admtre her for achrally crrntng out and saytng. "It ts hard to flnd other ctrlldren as nlce as our chtldren.' A lot of us have exactly the same problem, but are too somethlng - shf? inhlbtted? cowardly? - to put lt lnto rvorsls. It makes me heartstck to see my chlldren's ltttle frtends start school at 5, and qulckly begin that translflon that turns them tnto whlney, angry, dlsobedtent, hard-to-like lidds. The worst part ls that the homeschoolers I have known are so dellghtful to be wtth, and yet our soclet5l conslders all the negatlve behavtor to be typtcal of school-age chlldren. We are often compltmented on how wellbehaved, ktnd, and thoughdul our ldds are, and they are, but lt always bothers me that thls ts c$nsldered unusual.

A rcader tarltes: We also llve tn a somewhat tsolated and

rural area. It usually lnvolves a half mlle

walk for our gAls to get together wlth their frlends, who are homeschooled and whom they are very close to, Other than that, most other chlldren are casual acqualntances they seldom see. We have made the elfort to vlsit and get to knour our neighbors and their children. All of these ktds go to school ln town and most of themare pleasantto be around. I feel the posluve outwelghs the negatlve when our glrls play with thenr" These are the people who will grow up to be the teenager and adults that our g[rls wtll be tnteracttng wtth to a certaln extent. I don't want them to be strangers to each other. As Barbara mentloned, 'It doesn't seem to bother the ktds.' I\rc nodced that too. Sometlmes I feel lt's my own tnsecurltles carrted over from chlldhood and teen years

that I proJect onto my chlldren. At that time

ln my Me, securtty equaled lots of frlends (or

what I thought were frlends), and lnsecurity equaled belng alone wlth myself. Through necessity, my daughters have learned to rely

on themsetrrcs and thetr vtvid lmagtnattons

to carqr them through those days when there's no one to play wlth. I believe thts is a good and soltd foundatlon for them to develop and grow from.

Sometlmes the work is exclting, but usually lt's pretp boring. Some teachers are nlcer than others. My second grade teacher, who I remember most, was fatrly nice. But ln second grade, you couldn't talk out loud ln class to your friends. When I went to vislt a fifth grade class at the school this past February, lidds did talk out loud during class. S€elng your frlends every day was OK, but sometlmes lt was a pain, I really wa-s more lnterested ln the rest of the class than ln my school work, so I dtdn't always get my work done on dme.

DISABLED CHILD AT HOME Lgrn Gray wrote tn tle Octobr issue oJ NORTFIER^I CAUrcRNIA HOMffiCHOoL ASSOCtrATION News:

tl€

Our daughter Dolly had been bounced from one more or less lnapproprlate Program to another for serreral years. The severlty of her dtsabiltty (Dolly has cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchalr and cannot talk or urrlte) made It very dilficult to find a class tn which all GROMNG WTTHOUT SCHOOLING #60

We flnally decldcd that the only uray to accompllsh what we wanted for Dolly, to capture her real cnthuslasm for learntng and to gtve her ttre power of her own mlnd, ung to teach her oureclvea at home. We drcw up a horreschool program whfch we felt had reallstlc goals Dolly could achleve durlng the comlngyear, and told thc school distrtct ofour tntendon to teach our daughter at home. We presented evldence of the academlc work shcd ahready done at homc, as well as our planned surrlculum. We asked honrwe could rporkwtth the dlstdct to make our plan workable and legal. Could we enroll our daughter ln a program of lndependent studf No, our school board has not approrrcd one. Could we reglster as a prlvate school? Alameda Count5r was threatenlng to gtrrc people trouble wtth thts at the tlme. We llnally agreed upon a modtlled program of home tnstnrctton. 'Home lnstrucflon' ls cpmrrpnlJr used by dlstrlcts to accomodate sfudenb who for physlcal or emotlonal reasons are not able to attend regular classes. In our case, the dlstrlct sends a home lnstnrctor for one hour hvlce a week, and can collect ADA (average dally attendance) for thls student.

As Clona was already readkrg, and has a magfcal vaabulary, I tgnored the nurse'g recommendaflon. My father, a teacher for thtrty-flve years, also felt that speech therapy was Just another method the school systern uses to make all children the same. TWo years later, her speech has tmproved a ltttle btt. Sometlmes when she says somethtng really lncomprehenslble we ask her to repeat herself rnore clearly, whtch she does. Also, her pronunclation has shown up ln her wrttlng (for example, she wrote wardrobe as 'wahdwobe.') My feeltng ls that she wlll outgirorv tt slowly.

Our eldest son (now 2O) had s€vere speech

dtlllculfles undl second grade. In flrst grade a speech theraplst vtslted hts school and recommended therapy. As I could not alTord thls, she gave rne some exerclses to do wlth my son. But when I attempted to do the o<erclses wlth htm, he became hostde and uncooperatlne. I soon gave up, but once or turtce I heard him dotng the exerclses on hls own, when he thought no one was ltstenlng. Hls speech gradually tmproved, and by the end of second grade tt was perGctly normal. One ofhls younger brothers had a less swere speech problem. He didn't speak at all untll he was 3. (I dldn't worry about thls, as my husband began to talk at the same age.) When he started talklng, he mlspronounced several consonants. When he was 5 l/2,1 began teachtng hlm to read uslng phonlcs.

This made him aware of his mlspronunclaflons, and he corrected them on hls own as he worked to sound out hls readtng lesson. Flom All.son McKe

NW):

We harrc alvrays felt that lt ls much more lmportant for the children to feel c-omfortable converslng than too self-cpnsclous to be able to expFess themselves. When our sxrn wart 3 and 4, we asked or.rr nurse-pracflfloner lf she agreed wlth our'walt and see'approach, and she dtd. She remlnded us that Chrtstopher was qutte verbal, outspoken and easy to understand errcn though he could not say's,' 'sh," 'ch,'and other sounds as most of us do. Many of our frlends satd the same thlng.

At 5 Chrfstopher nias stlll havlng probleme. At hls medtcal check-up that year I asked the doctor what he fclt our course of acUon ghould bc. Hls flrst comment, and tlre rmst telllng for me, uras, 'Oh yes, I gress he docs harrc a [ttle trouble wlth sonre of hls sounde, but lt doesn't seem to bother hlm.' The doctor felt that an erraluatlon would be approprrate lf I felt comfortable udth lt. I wasn't sure how I felt, but I dectded to go ahead wtth the test. A few months later nre had our enaluatlon done through the unlversigr speech and hearlng cLnlc. Ttre orrcrall consensus was that there was tndeed a speech problem, but that because Chdstopher could not make the sounds when asked to, tt was too early to start therapy. Developmentally speaktng, the sounds he was havtng trouble wlth were not

uncommon for a chlld hi* At that vtslt "9.. oonoerns the ther:aptst dtd mentlon some about the structur€ of Chrtstopher's soft palate, and suggested another enaluaflon. Slx months later we went to the unfircrstty hospttal for an erraluadon by a pathologlst. The doctor was able, at that flme, to get Cbrlstopher to reproduce correctly sorne of the sounds that were caustng hlm dtlflculty. We were referred back to the odgtnal cllnlc. The orlginal theraplst was also able to get Chrlstopher to reproducc the problem sounds on demand. She felt that ttrls meant

WIEBI.OOMF,RS EDIIC,ATTONAL CONSULT. ING SERVICE, llsted |rl.GWSl, 2OO Montgon' ery Drfi:r,, Sulle D, Santa Rosa CA 95404: Twenty years ago, Banesh Holftnann told a shocked county about the 'Wr:anny of testlng' ln trls classlc book of the same name. His book and others that followed stlrred up much mntmrrcrsy, leadtng the Nattonal Educadon.tssoctatton tn 1976 to recommend the eltmtnatlon of group standardlzed intelltgence, aptltude and achlerrement tests. Howeyer, the dust seems to have settled from thts uprtslng and the testtng lndustry today appears more powerful than ever. The Nadonal Educatlon ttssoclatlon has completely changed tts stand and now'recog;n9es the need for perlodtc oomPrlehenslve testing for evaluatlon and dtagnosls and student progress.' No wonder, slnce tt would hatrc taken a maJor mlracle to ellminate testlng. Ia.st year teachers San e over 5OO mllllon standardtzed tests to chlldren and adults across the country.

A look at sorrrc of the lndtvtdual ltems from these tests lllustrates tlre amblgultles that a chtld must confront durtng evaluaflon ttme. A wldely used achlevement test asks the chlld to choose the correct ttem: 'Somethtng you see ln your sleep ta a".. drearn" falry, wtsh,

dread.' Most nornal chlldren wlll have se€n all of the aborrc at one dme or another durlng their slumber. Another well-known achlerrcment test asks the chtld to clr,cle the clrrect word: "An ldea ls a... ptcture, laugh, thoughL' For the spatlally gtfted chrld - who th,lnks ln tnages and plctures - the llrst response would be most natural, but tlre lastword unuld be the only reslx>nse marked as correcl Onc of tlre most rvell-known lntelltgence tests for children asks: 'What ane you supposed to do lf you llnd someone's wallet or pocketbook tn a store' and gfnes one polnt for the ansnter 'call a radto or TV etadon' but no potnts for lJust lay tt up on the counter' or'wouldn't take tt.i Thlgtest ls supposed to come up wlth some obJectlrrc measure of tntelltgence, but ln

one study, ntnety-ntne school psychologtste lndependently ecor€d the test from tdenUcal records, and came up wlth IOs rangtng from 63 to I 17 for the sanre person. Few people realtze that the tests belng used today ln our natlon's schools rePt€sent the end result ofa hlstorlcal process that has Its ortgtns tn ractal and cultural blgotry. Many of the foundl4 fathers of the modern testlng fndustry - tncludtng Lawrencc Terman (creator of the Stanford-Btnet IQ test) and Carl Brlgham (the developer of the Scholasflc ApHtude Test) - adnocated eugenlcs, or the systemaflc control of

Thls neqr dl,agposttc era of assessment would be abrlght spot on the educadonal hortzon tf these tests really helped chlldren. Unfortunately, lt appears that most of them are worthless tn ldenu$lng learntng problems. Gerald Coles, asslstant professor of psychtatry at Rutgers Medtcal School, put tt succinctly: 'We don't know what these tests measure.'He made that statement after erramtntng dozens of studles that erraluated the ten leadlng tests for learntng dlsabiltdes' Hls e<amlnadon tumed up numerous flaws ln test constructton, lncludtng the use of Poor subJect selectlon and faulty research destgn. The tests may have lorlcd gad, but they failed to provtde arry useful lnformatlon

about how chtldren actually leam. These dtagnosilc tests - ltke thetr kln the lntelltgence and achlerrement tests - have Itttle to do wlth the real llves of children. One test asks chlldren to read out loud nonsense words llke'hvlb,''expr:arrl' and'fubwlt' ln order to test thetr abilfty to sound out words. Another test requlres chlldren to repeat orally long llsts of random numbers to get a sense of thetr memory skflls. SttU another test wants chlldren to agr€e to the statements 'bo/le ts bottle'and 'da,/y ts daddy' before golng on to further quesHons to determtne tf [hey can hear the syllablee that make up t]re whole word. Most of these tests demand that chlldrcn do thlnge they'* nerrcr done before, would nerrer choose to do on thetr own, and wlll nerrer do agatn. Yet on the basls of thetr performance, thesc tests classtS chlldren as

elther normal or dtsabled learners. ...It's clear that [tests] do not obJectively test a chlld's abtlty.As San Dlego State Untrrerstty soctologtst Hugh Mehan polnts out ln hls book Handtcapptrg tte HandF cappL'Treatln! test results as soclal facts obscures the cronstltutlve Process by which testers and students Jotntly produce answent on tndlvldual tests.' Mehan and hts col-

leagues also observed the way learntng dlsablllty speclallsts use a "test unfll flnd' approach ln thea work, where testers admfnster assessments to a chtld unttl they locate a suspected dlsabtltty - at which tlme they stop testtng and label the chlld. If they don't locate a dtsablltty after two or three tests, they admlnlster uP to fifteen or twenty

other tests unttl they either find a disability or exhaust thelr entlne battery. Thts way of worklng wlth chlldren encourages faultfinding and minlmtzes the chances of dtscovering streng;ths and abilitles.

...Tests are supposed to give parents and teachers lnformatton about how children are progresstng tn thetr learntng. Instead, they lend to reduce chtldren and all oftheir thoughts, feeltngs, behavlors and achlerrements to a handful of percentiles, ranklngs, letter grades, and fancy-sounding labels' For example, many achlevement tests have a Aradepoht level as their linal score. One of fhe teits I gave as a teacher - the Wide Range Achierrerrent Test (WRAT) - has children read a ltst of words, spell another list of words, and do a few math problems. On the basis of thts quick procedure, children received scores such as 2.5 (second grade, Iifth month) or 3,7 for each subJect. An unsuspecting obeen/er - tncludlng many parents - would thlnk that a chlld was dotng second or third gradework on the basis ofthis test. Yet it only took.,flrr errors out of forty-one spelling urcrds to move from 5.O to 3.9, a drop ln the mind of the parent from fifth grade work to thlrd grade work. Such test results tell us nothlng about how the child spells or mlsspells words, whether the child mlsspells words ln wridng c"omposltlons, tf the child enloys spelltng, or any number of other tmportant questtons related to the child's

By remalntng as fledble and responstue to rqf chlldren as posstble, I harrc learned and contlnue to learn how my chlldr€n glasp concepts and how they butld upon thelr knowledge and understandtng of the wnrld around them, I contlnue to be amazed

by thetr remarkable tntellectual and creattrrc capa.cltles. Yet thelr leaming has never fol-

lowed a standard, or what vrould be consldered normal, tlme llne or a€lluence. My son Ishmael learned to wrtte before he could read and to wrlte muslc b€fore he could play lt.

OURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS RE

PHOTOS OF LETTERS ISS:I For a long tlme I've wanted to recommend Arlene Alda's A.ElCs, a book of photographs ofthe shapes ofletters ofthe alphabet as the photographer saw them ln the world around her. I was sorry to learn that the book has gone out ofprini but lt turns out that a poster wtth the same photographs ls available tnstead. In some ways the poster ls even better, because you can hang lt next to (or lnstead ofl the regular alphabet charts so often seen tn schools and homes. Arlene Alda sees letters ln the most unusual and unlikelv places. and the poster ls as much a gltmpse;f one photographer's vision as it ls a celebratton of the shapes of the alphabet. When we hung tt ln our olllce, several of the children stared blankly at lt for a moment and then began exclalmtng, 'I see the Kl I see the Yt" and pointlng them out to the adults. We dectded not to sell the poster because of the cost and effort ofshipptng tt, but I encourage you to order tt dlrectly from the publishen TEN SPEED PRESS, l-8OO-841-2665. The prlce ls $6.95 + $l shipping.

GARDENING BOOK F}omJan Hurt

clearly wrttten, and has a wonderfully respectful attltude toward the reader. Also, does anyone know a source for 'Nenettes Cube," a cube of64 blocks designed for learnlng math and geometq/? I read about thls ln a newspaper article. What about a source for a 3-dlmensional puzzle called

In plannfng the arrangements for the

songst we wanted to use chlldren's volces on as many songs as posstble. So we contacted

some kids (rnatnly homeschoolers) to arrange for them to be at the studlo. We weren't sure exact$ where we would use them, so we roughly rec.orded each song, sent everyone a cassette tape, and requested that they simply become famillar wtth all of

them. Most of the ktds llved relattve\r far

I was so proud of how these ldds, only two ofwhom had had a blt ofvocal coachlng, were able to learn and perform these songs. Their ages ranged from 4 to 13. Most were around 7 or 8. The whole experlence was yet another example of how truly capable chlldren are of rlstng to a challenge, partlcularly when the challenge ts tn the 'real world.'They all sensed the lmportanc.e of what they were dolng. We were really relytng on them, and they knew tt. It was great to see them respond to the sltuatlon, learn what needed to be learned, and work untll we got a result tiat we were all pleased wlth.

HOW WE LEARN TO TALK Many years ago, John Holt sald ln answer to one of my quesdons, 'We are born knowtng how to thtnk abstractly - tf we weren't, we would nerter learn to talk.' Recently, I found an advertlsement for the book Teach Your Babg to Talk ln John's files. He had marked thls excerpt: When your chlld ls nearbY, talk out loud aboutwhatyou arc hearlng, seelng, dotng or feeltng.

DOING WHAT THEY LOVE F\om Perury Barker (OI:[):

Brttt, the 9 year old I wrote to John Holt about tenyears ago, is now l9 and thousands of miles away from this nest she was nurtured tn. She is working at a bird obsewatory ln Potnt Reyes, California with a biolog[st and four graduate students, lMng in a small fleld house at the edge of the Pacific. She is

happtly cnmblning five hours of daily work h the fteld (along the beaches) with music in Bolinas. In a recent letter she writes, neartv-morning -This we caught a rnagnificent sharp-shlnned hawk. It's anrrazing how small these birds actually are when held in the hand. Hts talons looked fierce, as did his eyes. I held him, admired his gorgeous form, felt his life ln my hands and looked into his penetratlng eyes. Sometimes I wtsh I did have a carnera, as these birds go too quickly for sketches, But then maybe I should concentrate on the tblngs I cansketch and let the btrds be tmprinted on my mlnd.' Brltt is Ilnancially lndependent and fullilling her desire to 'do what I love and love what I do.' More than the number of plates around

l4 our table belng reduced from serrcn to slx, there has been a btg change in my thinldng, too, over tlrese ten years. I was ratsed ln tllls culfure and am not free of the achlever mentaltty tnstllled tn rnost of us. Durlng the past years I harrc Glt compelled to talk of my

chlldren's acrompllshments.

I thought lt

thrilling that the chlldren had collecttvely sold six artlcles to TIe Mother.Earth Neurs and eamed some $IOOO from lL I thought lt 'neat' when Bdtt was chosen at age 12 to represent Suzulid ptano ln our state and performwtth the Tour Group (tn my heart there urcrs an uneErsy feeling that thls meant beating out others who had audldoned, a rralue I didn't consclously support at all). At 16 Brttt gave a grand recltal at a local college attended by hundreds and I was so tnpressed that I was

certain that thts was an lndicatlon that mg

homeschooling had worked. Looking back now, I see that lt was my old mentality causing me to fecl sattsfled wtth Brttfs achlerrement. It was somewhat atrLazlng for me to reallze at thls polnt that Britt rvas not lnterested ln pursulng a career ln muslc. She dfd feel a need to have muslc a part of her llfe, along with her lnterest ln anlmals and the world of natur€.

J. Krtshnamurfl, br hts magnlficent little book Mucatton ard the Stgnlfbarce

Life, says, 'It ls reassuring to knorv that we are capable and elllclent. To know that urc can play the piano or build a house gfves us a feeling of vltality, of agresslve lndependence; but to emphaslze acapaclty because of a deslre to psychologtcal securtty ts to deny the fullness of ltfe... The rtght ldnd of educaHon, whlle encouragtng the learntng of a technique, should accomphsh somethtng whlch ts of far greater tmportance; tt should help man to experlence the tntegrated process of life.' I belteve Brttt ts wtser than I harrc been tn knowlng that ltG for her must be an lntegraflon ofall the things that she loves. So Britt spends her days disentangllng btrds from nets, ltstenlng to the muslc of the btrds and the sea, htktng ln the seashore backcountry, bftfng {lve mtles along the beach into Boltnas for muslc and tlren Ssgk agaln to do malntenane tasks at the fleld house befcre she helps wtth supper. Then she wrltes about the day's experlenc.e ln her Journal whlch she publtshes as a weekly column ln the newspaPer.

Wtth Brttt offon her own, I see that lt ls deflnitely not the awards, achle'verrrents or recogniuon that ts lmportant to her dealtng with the world, but the ways lnwhtch she handles her reladonshtp wtth tdeas, people, animals and the natural world that she faces daily, By the way, we now have a volume of

Britt's publlshed columns avallable from us here ln Ohto for $4.S tncludtng postage, It's

called Letters Home and contalns wonderful descripdons of her travels and adventures which began when she waa 16. People tell us lfs very excltlng because tt tells trr her oun roords about a homeschooler brtdgtng the gap between a protectlve home envlronment and

the "real world.'

For a wtrlle Brltt dtdn't know what she would do between the tlme herJob at the Observatory ended ln December and our summer work began, but she was conlldent that her lfe would be full. She lones to say that life ls an adrrcnture to be llved, not a problem to be solved. Sure enough, Sarah, a

young btologlst from Berkeley, tnvited Brltt to share a $ZOOO four-month grant she tg r€celving for research work on a partlcular

shoreblrd. Sarah does not know or canle that Brltt uras selected as one of Teertage magazfure's hundred most lnterestlng teenager. That vras

my sparkler to dazzle people with. Brltt nerrer pald attentlon to thts ktnd of r€c.ognldon: to her lt was the trtegraflon ofher day to day Itfe that rvas lmportant. And this, along wtth Brttt's dllfngness to do strenuous work, ls what makes Sarah urant to work with her. Thls left slx weeks between the Pt. Reves proJect and Sarah's research proJect. Their Britt got a call from a biologtst asldng if she'd be wtlllng to spend the slx weeks on a hundred-acre tsland twentSr miles ollshore worklng with elephant seals, Brltt's answer was yes. Her descrtption of the upcomtrg work: 'We'll be hotsted onto the tsland by crane over shark-tnfested, crashing water, as there's no real placc for the boat to land. There are actually two islands separated by a channel which I wtll have to pull myself across ln a pully-chair setup. I'll be doing work with the male elephant seals as they arrlve, mark-tng and readtng numbers on tags and keeptng check on new arrlvals. I mtght help Bill actually tag the males. He says lt's very triclcy work, but I might be able to do iL' Brltt asks me, 'Why is life so wonderful to me?' My answer ls that Brttt ts open to life. She hasn't narrowed herself lnto an achierrer mentaltty nor into a specific regimented dlscipltne. So, after ten years IVe recently come to reallze that for me homeschooling no longer rneans my chlldren's latest achievement or recognltion nor what career they'rc headed for, but how they llve erch dag. It ts tmportant to me that they are centered, searching and thlnldng people able to handle the happiness and sadness that flows through their llves. From my own lndmate knowledge of Britt as well as the letters we recelve from her, I see her as thls liiind of person. What ls it

in Brttt's background that has helped foster these atdtudes ln her? It's hard to say, but when I look

at l4-year-old

Maggie, who is

stlll in the envlronment ln whtch Britt was

raised, thtngs do become clearer to me. Maggle floats back and forth eastly between the worlds of adults and children. She does not see tt thts way, but simply does lots of dillerent thtngs wtth people of all ages. No one she comes lnto cpntact wtth makes her Gel demeaned for not yet being an adult nor obJecttfled as a precocious or gifted chtld, so Maggie sees herself stmply as a person. Thls ls qutte slgniftcant, really. People are often lnterested ln how Britt secured aJob as an lntern biologtst. Well, Britt was reGrred to the btrd observatory by graduate students who had met her on the Earthwatch Expeditton (see GWS #56), but when she went for an lntervleq the rest was up to her. Because the blologtst dolng the hiring could not categorlze Brttt as an undergraduate or graduate student or even as a htgh school graduate, he had to talk to the person sttting befiore him and llsten to her as a person. On the basts of that lntervlew and her other experlences with anlmals, she was htred. Perhaps this ls why some of the teenaged homeschoolers I know, lncluding my own, do not like belng referred to as homeschoolers - lt ls a category and categorles can be so restrictive. To get back to Maggte, several Sundays ago she was trrvtted to take her dogs to an lnformal dog trlal. The occaslon called on Maggie's polse, competence and c.enteredness, slnce there were fourteen dogs, lots of sheep,

flocks of ducks and about sixty people. We with her since we had twenty young vlsltors at the farmstead that day, but I could tell from her countenance when she came home that it had been a good day. She told us all about it and was very pleased not only with the performance of her dogs but wtth the tlps she had gleaned from others and with the wonderful non-compedflve attitude of everyone there. On Monday, Maggie spent nearly the endre day worldng up a circus with her brothers Dan (13), Ben (l l) and Jonah (9). Rtchard and I attended their bamloft circus and were amazed to see the young lady of the day before now dressed ln bright rigout, wildly bareback riding a horse, getting dogs to perform elaborate tricks through hoops and over bales of straw and doing all kinds of gymnastics on ropes hanging from the rafters, all to the music of Itzhak Perlman playing Scott Joplinl It was very entertaining. The next day no circus was held (though I often heard them making plans for a bigger and better one comlng soonl). Instead Maggie decided to work a little on the great stack of correspondence she has received since her article about border collles was published in Tlv Mother Earth Neurs earlier this vear. Some of these letters involved malidng linanctal and shipping arrangements since some people wanted to purchase puppies from Maggie's dogs. Some of the letters were from homeschooled children, inspired by the mention at the end of the article that Maggie was a homeschooler. A letter from the Alaskan Search and Rescue dog team asked for permission to clrculate Maggie's material about dogtraining to thelr members. Her subsequent correspondence with them has led to an apprenticeship. A cowboy in Idaho wrote Just to say hello and talk about his own dog. A fellow GWSer wrote a warm letter asking tons ofquestions about raising sheep. A young Apache Indian serving a Jail sentence in Kansas wrote in hopes that Maggie would be his friend. (This has caused all manner of dlscussion in our family about a facet of our socie$r we had not yet explored very much.) One letter required a collect call to a man ln another state who wanted Maggie to train his dog for him and Richard said he was amazed at Maggie's competent manner in handling this call using a public telephone, whtch she has used only occasionally - an indication that unfamiliarity with a certain technolory is not a handicap to her. With our hardly being aware of it, Maggie is growlng lnto a capable person, able to handle the challenges life presents. Her life is balanced with the care of plants and animals, her special care ofthe sheep and border collies, spinning wool and knitting lt lnto usable items, selling colored fleeces by mail to spinners all over the country, and her continued urere unable to go

work on plano and violin.

Maggie lntegrates her own life, spcnding a certain amount of time on some things and more on others, but always feeling the need to spend some time in direct involvement with nature. (l love seetng any one ofthem pick up the biggest spiders ever so gently and without fear.) The children's desire to spend time outdoors is partly due to our livlng where so much of our work is outside, but I think it's malnly because we, as parents, don't place extreme importance on ttre lndoors, books or even on pencils and paper. These things are

GROWING WTTHOUT SCHOOLING #60

FOCUS: FINDING OUR TEACHERS From John Holt's unpubltshed "Notes for a Talk to Students": In the past twenty-elght years at least IVe been the presldent of a untverslt5r, and qulte a good one. It has a student body of one - namely, me. The faculty of the unlverslty ls made up of all the people from whom I thlnk I can learn something that I think ls important to me ln terms of my own llfe's goals, somethlng, to use Iftopotkin's words, that would help me understand better what ldnd of world I want, what kind of life I want to llve ln tt, the ways tn which I can work to make such a world and llfe, and the tlrlngs I need to know ln order to do that - or simply the thtngs that wtll helghten my pleasure and excltement in Ivfng. When I flnd such a pâ&#x201A;Źrson, I qulckly put hlm on my faculty. He doesn't knoqr it. There ane no salarles ln my unlverslty. Some of the faculty ln my unlverslty are alive, some are dead; some ane known to me, some close frlends, some are people I have yet to meet. I'm constantly hirlng and firtng on my faculty; there ls no tenure tn my untverslty. Some of the people who at one tlme ln my ltfe were very lmportant teachers to me no longer are. Perhaps I now see the world dlfferently, no longer agree wtth what they told me. Perhaps I've stmply absorbed what they had to tell me and moved on. Others of my teachers ln the past are my teachers still. One mtght say that one of our tmportant ltfe tasks was to flnd our true teachers, to make our own unlverslt5r, and we can say of educatlon that lt ls a process that ought to help us get better at dolng thls. Certatnly to flnd one of one's own teachers, someone from whom we thlnkwe can learn somethlng really important, ls one of the really great pleasures of llfe.

SUSTAINING TEACHERS F}om Mel AIlew a senlor dttor at Yankee

magazlne:

When I read John's 'Notes,' I was tmmedtately struck not only by Its trrth (and how tt caphrred the unlqueness of trls mfnd) but by tts relevance to my Me. A Journallst has remarkable access to people and their lnformatlon and sldlls. Over the past elerren years I have lntervlewed and researched many dozens ofpeople and subJects. I have learned how battleshlps are launched and how somebody dtes from rabtes; how a MaJor kague battlng c.oach approaches hts work and how bush ptlots learn to fly bllnd ln storms. Each story, tn a sense, cnmprlses a mlnl-course. I must leam qutckly and wtth enough depth to then compose my orrrn rrcrslon of realtty so that someone elJe mlght understand and learn. The prtmary reqtrlstte for thls work ls curtostty - and the deslre to llsten. The work can be, and often ls, excittng, stlmulatlng; and educatlonal tn the best sâ&#x201A;Źnse of that word. Yet lately I have been findtng tt oddly unsatls{ring, and John's 'Notes" helped me clart$ why. I harrc been able to touch many potentl.l teachers, but susfrtn few in my'universtty.'For lnstanc.e, when I wrote a prollle of John Holt ['The Educatlon of John Holt,' avall. here for g2l I prepared by rereadlng four or llrrc of hls books. I vislted wlth him at hls olflce, over dlnners, at my home, at the home of a homeschooling famlly tn New Hampshlre. When I was teachlng fourth grade ln Malne ln the early 7Os, John's wrttlngs had a profound lnlluencc on me. Now, as a Journallst, I was able to speak wtth hfm not only about teaching, but about hls Navy days, about hls envlronmen+'l concerns, aboufhb fanlly, about hls frlendshtp wtth A.S. NelU. Durlng those days John had fuU tenure ln my unlverstty. Each lntervlew was llke a vlgorous semlnar, except I uras a prlvlleged audlence ofone, As soon as the story was llled, however, tt was tlme to rnove on to another - perhaps about logglng ln the northwoods - and the rectpe of preparatton, lnteracdon, and learntng uras repeated. In the proc.ess I all but lost slght of thts valued inlluence, thls teacher, John Holt, I realize now that learntng for me had become a meana to an end the end betng a publtshed story. The stnger-songyrtter Nocl Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame) once told me that he reallzed one day that he $ras vlewing all hls experlences all nrcre fodder for another song. He vras writlng about sunrlses without ertoV@ a stngle one. AJoumalist faces the same potenHal trap, Readtng John's 'Notes' forced me to remember the ttmes tn my Itfe when leamtng went deepest, when lt gave me most enJoyment, when lt most enrlched. Not surprlslngly, those tlmes follow a slmilar

pattern: lengthy travel (at least three months away from famtltar routlnes): lntense readlng; fresh, alert eyes and ears so that commonplace conversadons seem to oller tnsights lnto new cultures; tlme to contlnue explortng. Just wrlttng these last sentences recalls my own GROWINC WTII{OIIT SCHOOLING #60

teachtng days, and wlth the best lntenflons I see that I, too, reducrd my classroom tnto days of Joumaltsm-type experiences. The classroom was proJect-based, and sincc I sdll occaslonally hear from students I taught fifteen years ago, I gather that these projects were at times memorable, but they were an end to themselves, We showed off to each other, to the parents, to the school. But then it uras always on to another project. I wonder tf any of those chtldren wished to llnger somewhere. I wonder how many days we let papler-mache obscure deeper lnvolvements. And I still don't know, even with the benelit of Ilfteen years hindstght, how I'd do ttrings much dtlferently. Ltngering somewhere dldn't seem to be an opflon. The person I have learned the most from in my life has been with me Just two years, and whlle I supposedly hold the keys to his learnlng he constantly stlrs long-forgotten memorles of how Joyful new dlsc'overies can be. By day's end my son Danlel has asked, perhaps, several hundred quesilons. The sublects might tnclude plne cones, leaves, warntng lfghts fur cars, seat belts, the splral of a football, the drlft of a cloud. Parents are famlliar wlth these quesdons, and how thelr cargo includes (for parents) equal measures of delight and wearlness. Dantel ts not my teacher, but he has become my catalyst. He has taken me on a long Journey to a new culture, a voyage I delayed untll I was past zl0, and he has left me ltchy to resume my ou/n

questlons.

PARTNERS, NOT MASTER AND DISCIPLE F)om Menitt Cllftoru who edhs the literary magoztne Samisdat, and. wrote tle outlcle "I-eaning Disabdlrtfes: What tle PubtbitV Doesn't TelI,' tuhtch tue ercerpted tn our fuklel Everyone Is Able: Explodtng the Myth of karntng Dlsabllittes:

I think I founded my personal universtty and began recrulting teachers as a l4-year-old sophomore at Berkeley High School. Up to that potnt I'd been pretgr much like most other tntelligent dead-end klds: I'd try to play schoollng by the rules, had been thwarted at every turn for trylng to Jump beyond grade level, havlng my own ideas, leamtng at my own pacr, and had responded by dropptng out mentally, tf not phystcally. I was there, ln school, but not there: not doing my homework, not ltstenlng to teachers, not golng out for sports despite sports abtltty, not meetlng glrls because I had no social selfconfldence. School had taught me one thtng only, that I was a misfit. I read the books I chose under my desktop, accidentally discovering flrst Bullflnch's Mytlolqy, then Tolkien, then Stelnbeck, then Mark Harrts's baseball novel ?he Southpau, about a hlck lefty who llkewise didn't fit ln. Tte Souflrparo tipped me off to something I knew tnstantly should harrc been evldent all along: the adult world ran backqrard. I was OK, I had my head on stralghl I was screwlng up, when I scrcwed up, because I accepted other people's deflnitions of

l6 duty, honor, wlsdom, tnstead of my own.

My ftrst self-chosen teachers were a few of my fellow students, who at'varlous ttmes brlefly emerged from thelr shells of conformtty to utter honest words. I'm sttll tn sporadlc touch wtth one of them, Steve Wasserman, then our leading campus radical, now a New York book editor. An overt Commurdst ln tlrosc days, Wasserman challenged Just about every polttlcal and economlc tdea I'd ever plcked up at home or ln any of the eight schools Id previously attended. I argued udth him all the ttme, and I thrnk he probably learned as much from the encounters as I did because for perhaps the flrst time he was up against a moving target. It wasn't Just party ltne a€^l'rst party ltne, because every tlme I learned something, I changed my posltlon. Slnce becomtng a literary rn gazlne edltor fifteen years ago, I\rc met dozens, maybe hundreds of teachers, almost always ln the context of being asked to teach them. Thls lncludes my wtfe, whose poems arrlved ln my mallbox twelve yearsr ago. People send me manuscrlpts, often full of worthwhlle ideas and lnformadon but lacking ProPer focus. I suggest a rervrite, they ask, 'How?" and I wind up analyzing ideas and informadon as well as structure, because the structure has to come from the content. In order to tell someone how, I have to know why. In fact, I'rae learned that "why' ls really all I can tell aspiring writers; thry dlscover 'how' for themselves when they know why they're wrifing something in the flrst place. Sirnilarly, as a freelanc.e writer, I've occasionally had the pleasure of worliing with editors whose assignments stretch my insights and tmaginauon. Dotng a straight Journalistic hack Job is drudgery, but when somebody hands me an entlne issue and sqys, - , "Findout all about tt, then make sense of tt,' I enJoy it so much I d do it for free if I didn't have to put beans on the table. The interesting aspect ofedltors as teachers is that they don't personally know the sublect, either. They're fellow students tn the sense of wanttng to learn aboirt tt, whlch makes us partners rather than master and disctple' One doesn't go out looklng for mentors; one goes out looktng for wisdonr, acceptlng lt wherever one finds tt (and r€cognizlng the Lack of it where one doesn't flnd ft). Marry people do have the experlence of outgrori/ing a parttcular teacher slmply because they get lnto the maJter and dlsciple relationshtp, lnstead of viewing the pursuit of wisdom as somethlng like a marathon race. Flrst one guy's ahead, then another, each pacing a bit dilferently' I recognlze my teachers when what they say ricochets ln my brain like a bee-bee shot lnto a

barrel, when I find myself talking to them tn my trnaginatlon as well as in actuality. As John Holt potnted out, one must be president of one's own unlverslt5r. I put that another way that means the same thlng, a phrase borrowed from an Australian wonuln, Colleen Johnson, who was one of my most lmportant teachers yet wouldn't acknowledge herself as anyone's teacher, ever: "Be your own hero, Mac.' Expect someone else to be one's hero, and one wtll always be disappolnted. Being one's ow:rt hero, one always has the opportuntty to work on percelved faults, and the freedom to take on new teachers as one flnds them.

DETERMINING WHAT YOU NEED Ftom Pat Montgomery, wta dtrects tle Clonlara Sctrrrrl and' Honv Based MucalTon Prqranx

It sounds cutesy to say "I learned from the children,'but I don't mean this ln the usual way. I mean that dotng things with lidds - with my own, and ln the public and parochial schools where I taught, and now, of course, at Clonlara - observing them, notlcing thetr reactlons, and makingJudgments myself, was the very best teachlng that I ever experienccd,'and sttll experienc.e. I will always thlnk of my two children as my teachers, and I think they experlence the same relationship, so that we're leamlng from and teachireg each other. A child named Ellen, who was a student at Clonlara from the time she was 3 unttl she was 13, ls someone I wlll always think of as a teacher, and she knows it. There were many things I leamed from her, but one tncldent in partlcular comes to mind. When she was 9 or lO' she had very long halr that she never combed. It looked awful, and other kids would tell her so, but she had enough of a sense of herself not to let that bother her. As tlme went by, she grew older and began to want to take care of herself and the way she looked, and she took care of her hair all on her own. Later, the subject would come up at group meetings, and I would say, "You taught me that' Ellen. People grow in and out of caring about how they look.' On other occasions, to thls day, she will say, 'You taught me thls, Pat,' so there has been a back and forth, and we recognize that we are one another's teachers. Another thing I have leamed to do is to sit at the feet of the masters, wlrlch is also an tdea that ls so rtdden wlth cliches that one hates to say tt, but it's true, When I wanted to start Clonlara, I read the

work of A.S. Neill - rather late, because thls was 1967 and he had been publlshed tn thLls count4r slnce 1960 - and I realzed, 'I could have written thdst' I ran to meet wlth h,im, spent some tlme at Summerhill observlng, asking questions, and reading his writings. I learned that my own turstlncts were legttlmate. I had thought, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful tf you c.ould Just obsenrc people while they do what they choose to do, tnstead of tellng them what to do?' I wondered whether, if you ellmteated the exterlor coercion, there would be an internal deslre to do things, and to actually see thls happening at Summerhill was very lmportant to me. It was very obvlous, with Neill, that I uras the student and he was the teacher. I think he was comfortable wtth thts, but he was not a tradtttonal teacher. He did what Socrates dld. He posed questions, and not quesdons leading toward an end he wanted to achieve, but honest quesdons. 'What are you going to do when you get back to the States?" he would say, and then he'd give an honest answer: "You can't start a Summerhill, there's already one of those, You'll have to do something else.'There was an open back and forth between us, and I was able to take what applied to me. I ran to catch up with Neill, but then I never stopped running. I knew rtght away, looking at Neill in his own setting, that there were very few thlngs that would be the same for me in my setting. Similarly, when I read the writings of Maria Montessori, who was also an important teacher for me although I nwer met her, I was able to say, 'I don't agree wlth this,- or'l wonder why this has been lnterpreted thls way.' Again, I was able to extract from it what I needed, knowing that I am my own best teacher. Another lmportant experlenc.e comes to mind. When I was in a convent, earller ln my ltfe, we dtd a lot of choral stnglng. One day I was asked to accompany another nun to her Saturday aftemoon lesson with a very renowned choral sireger. During the class, the teacher turned to my friend, Rosalle, and said, -There ls nothing more that I can teach you.' I was stunned. I thought to myself, "People are paying this woman to teach them. How can she say she's no longer needed?" It was incomprehensible to me. I assumed that she simply didn't want to teach Rosalle anymore, and was making an excuse to get out of it. It was years before I understood what she had meant. At that time, I was Just begtnning to teach, and I couldn't irnagine myself saying to a student, 'I've taught you werything I know.' Now I understand that It's supposed to be that way. It's the rule, rather than the exception. People outgrow you and move on. This particular teacher was smart enough to realize this, but it should be more common. Teachers tend to take themselves very seriously, and they don't expect that other people wlll be able to determlne what they need from them. They become offended at that, ln fact. I'm still looking for teachers. I always assume there's someone out there who can iell me what I want to know, so I'll call someone and ask, 'Do you know anyone who knows about this?' I find myself turnlng to people I never expected to turn to. I'm curious about communit5t these days, for example, so I'm lnterested in what Lu Vorys and Ed Nagel are doing at the Santa Fe Communit5r School, I know that Lu ls my teacher, although I don't think I've ever told her that. At this tlme ln my life, I'm so busy that I'm in a position where I have to pick and choose, I have to spend time with people who are truly tmportant to me. As I thtnk about these lssues, I think of the story of the freshmen at the Universtty of Michigan going to the President's house for tea. Everyyear, the story goes, one ofthem goes uP to an aging professor and asks, 'What do you do?'The professor answers, 'l teach astronomy,' and the freshman says,'Oh, I'm fintshing that, I've Just taken Astronomy lOl.'We think that teachlng and learning are things that we begin and end, but that's not what they are at all.

Later that week I visited hlm at his offlce' I remember pausing at the door, trying to comPose my mind. I was nineteen years old and I didn't know what I was going to say to this man. That day, and on the many days that followed, Mr. W talked to me - about his boyhood in New York, the GurdJieffgrouP in which he and GROWING WTTIIOUT SCHOOI.D{G #60

He understood that whtle young people reslst outrtght lnstrucflon, they search lnsttncttvely for lessons from storles that appear to be about som@ne etse. That uras how he talked to me. He told me, for example, about how hts grandfather - an old radtcal - had made hfm redd Marx tn the ong[ral German. (Alvrays go to the ortgtnal souroes. Nerrer take second hand.) He told me how, as an art student, he had trled to pajnt the-qpaces between the bulldings, when erreryone else uras patnilrng the buildtngs, (I-ook for what others are mlsstng.)

They dtd, and the plane cr:ashed. The message was to trust lntuidon, to value what seems irrational. Of course, I dtdn't reallze all that at the flme. l.ooHng back, I ca1 only urondel at how hls words lmpressed themselves upon my Me without my thfnldng much about tt. He spoke often, for example, bf a New York frlend named Melvtlle Cane, a promlnent copyrtghl lauyer who was also a poet. As tt happens, my own career has enolved from Iaw to wrtttng. After Mr. W llt my tmagtnaflon with ac.counts of the New Deal, t spent over ten years fn Washlngton - a placc to wldch I am sure I would not otherwlse have been drawn. , I recall vivtdly one Saturday, when I was slttirng ln the second flmr study tn Mr. W's home, scnrtlnlzlng, as usual,-the bookshelves behind lTts desk for clues. Mr W had Just retumed from Washtngton, where he had met a young lawyer wlio had rlsen to prombrencr-around that ttrne. Mr. W's vlew of the polldcal figures of theday was not htgfr.

Ayear or two later, thr,ough a seemlnly unrelated chatn of events, I found myself one of 'Nadefs Ralders,' an assoclailon whlch was to last over ffve years. 'Comrnltment' was one of Mr. W's favorlte words. When therr were flrst rnarrled, he sa1d, hfs wfe - a pianlst and teacher of irnlrovlsatlon - would be at the plano when he left the house tn the momtng, and would stlll be there when he returned.

HELPING OTHERS FIND TEACHERS From Narcy Wallare (NY):

ln Better Thon *hml I vrrote that chooslng a teacher ls ltke chooshg a marrlage partner. I fmagfned that entertng lnto a relatlonshlp wlth a teacher was no dtllerent from enterlng tnto a Me-long relationshlp wlth another person. Of course, llke everyone else who

went to school, I had grown up with teachers who were asslgned to me arbttrarily, slncr I was merely part of a class deflned by the qges of the chtldren or thetr abtltty. The length of our relatlonship was set ln advance by custom and convenlence. I knew nothlng else untll my children Vita and Ishmael came along. Then, qutte unexpectedly, I found myself having to confront the awkwardness of tntervtewlng and choostrg (usually muslc) teachers and even worse, the unpleasantness ofchangfng to new teachers when Vlta and Ishmael seemed unhappy. When they made lt clear that a change was necessary, I ffgured that we had slmply falled ln our inltial cholce and that now, as tn a falled rnarrtage, we had to go

through a dlvorce. The more I began to learn about how Vlta and Ishmael learn, though, the more I came to understand the fluldtty of their learntng process and to reallze that I couldn't exPect thetr teachers to be equally fluld, or at any rate, flufd h the same way. A good teacher, I reallzed, ruas one who filled a pardcular need of theirs at a given dme nothing more. Then, llke water rlppling over a stone tn a brook, they needed to rrrove on. When Ishmael was I I he began studylng wlth a plano teacher who helped hlm bectme conscious of Just what and how he wanted to communicate to hls audlence. SHe was marrid to a composer, and Itke Ishmael, she was fascinated by how muslc ls put together. They took apart errery piecc they worked on, looking for and analyzing the melodies, harmonles, and movlng and supporting Passages, and they decided what notes should be brought out, how phrases should be shaped or tied together with other phrases, and so on. Ah, what a perfbct marriage, I used to thlnk. And yet two years later Ishmael began leavlng hls lessons in agitation. His sound wasn't rtglt he complalned, but hls teacher dldn't seem to notlce. Reluctantly I realized that lt was tlme to look for a new teacher, one who cared enough about the physical aspects of playlng to be able to help Ishmael make the subtle shades of sound on the plano that he heard when he sang the muslc ln his mind. When Vtta and Ishmael ffrst began studylng muslc, I sat rlght down wtth them as they worked. I was thelr prtmary teacher. Always one to look ahead, I worried that they mlght never be able to do without me. I worrled that they would never learn to ltsten for themselrres and tnstst upon muslcal accurErcy and clarlty wlthout me there to hsten for them. Yet at some polnt they began to llsten to themselnes so acutely and to care so deepl5r about thetr sound that I slmply couldn't hear or recognlze the muslc nuanoes that thcy were tryinA so hard to lmpart. And so the tables were turned - they dtdn't need-me an)rmone, 6r hardly. I sflll help Ishmael to organtze hls pracdce tlme slnce he tends to have no sens€ of tlme and could work on a stngle phrase for half a day. I help Vtta wlth c'ertaln technlcal aspects of her vtolln playlng slnce sometlmes lt's hard for her to really see what she's dotng - she needs a thlrd eye. Next year Ishmael plans to enter a muslc consenatory. The actual plac.e ls far less tmportant to bLlm than the teachers he finds for htmself. So far he has set hts heart on c$mposer Davtd Loeb because of thelr shared lnterest ln orlental muslc, and a couple of planlsts from the 'old school,'wlth direct ttes to Scbnabel and his Beethoven lnterpretatlons, 'But Ishnael,' people oblect, 'shouldn't you be studytng wtth a composltlon professor who has a rlore well-rounded approach? And what about your lone of Messlaen? Is lt urorth lt to glve up contemponry muslc Just to take advantage of the Schnabel

connectlon?'

Once agaln tt's as though people envlslon Ishmael choostng teachers for-Me - or at least for the four years they expect hlm to study at a c€rtatn lnstltutlon. But Ishmael nerrcr thlnks tn terms of that ktnd of permanenc.e. He knows what he wants rpur and he acc.ep-ts the fact that hls needs wtll surely change as he changes. And even lf now he wants to learn to Play Beethoven ln the old style, does that trrcan that he shouldn't take occaslonal lessons with someone who knows Messlaen? Must he always thlnk tn terms of fatthfulness vs. Prornlscultv? -By nerrcr ttrlnktng of hls relatlonshtp-s !o hls teachers ln that lipht, ishmael not onli never concelves of these relaHonshlps as set arbttrarlly iefined ttme frame, but he also never thrnks rn r,ithirt terms of"ndlvorce - ln terms of an abrupt or ffnal spltt. The teachers

who have been lmportant to hlm realbr are, for hlm, like stones ln a strearr. He knours he can alnrays go back to them, since they are grounded and solld. Yet he lsn't surprised, either, by thelr capaclty for change. He knows thatJust as stones ln a stream appear to change as the llght and weather change or as the flow of the stream changes, so we all change - teachers and students alike.

WATCHING CHILDREN LEARN (THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO, continued from pg. 14) ln our llves, of course, but they occupy a small proportion of each day. I can't help but agrer wlth Krlshnamurtl when he says, 'What we now call education is a matter of acrcumulating information and knowledge from books, whdch anyone can do who can read. Such education offers a subtle form ofescape from ourselves and, llke all escapes, it lnevltably creates tncreaslng mlsery.' Knowtng ourselves seems to be an trnportant aspect of educatlon, and living with our children every day certainly lends ttself to guidtng them in this process.

LISTENING TO WHAT CHILDREN SAY Readtng Gareth Matthews's Dtalques Wth Chll*en (avall. here, 12.5O + post) recently, I came across

thls passage:

The ldea of developmental psychology has had a greater

lnlluence on the way adults thlnk about chlldren than have any speclfic llndtngs of dwelopmental psychologists, or any spectllc theories as to how chlldren develop. Adults who have very little notlon of what a chtld of age so-and-so is supposed to be capable of thlnktng accept the idea that children's thlnktng goes through varlous stages and that, roughly speaklng, the changes from stage to stage arechanges from relative lnadequacy to relative adequacy... If [a childl says somethlng strange, something really peculiar or unusual, somethlng that secms not to be the result of slmple ignorance or mlslnformatlon, it must be, one naturally assumes, that her idea is the result of some conceptual limitation or some limltation tn her ability to reason or both' One unfortunate result of thls ts that tt predisposes one to ignor€, or misunderstand, the really lmaglnative and inventive thinking of young children. It occurs to me that because you, GWS readers, are so attentive to what your chlldren say, and generally skeptical of the idea that age is a r€ason for being unable to do something, you may be more likely to recognize lmagtnatlve and inrrcnttve thinking in-your children than the adults Gareth Matthews ts thinkfng of (though my general

They wanted a college education, urd I hd just finished describing a new college for poor ard wuking Vermonters designed especially to bring educatiqr to theminplaces ard attimes that were convenient. I had explained crefully that we would not be tied to rcademic tradition.

kind of lerning when she looked for anotherjob or tried to firrther her education... Mugery would have been wasting her time atmy college.

After reading this I realized that I am very much like Mr. Smith since I have degrees but am in the business of telling people to ignore them. Yet there are so many instances in which our society demands credezrtials for access to its fruis that I now feel this book is timely, important, urd a subtle subversion and antidote to society's credential worship by making credentials available to everyone who can prove they deserve them, rathor than afford them. As a result of the above meeting, Mr. Smith started a college that accâ&#x201A;Źp6 life experience for credit towards an accredited diploma one of many thatnow do, and came to write this book. Your Hidden Credenials is filled with stories about red adults who tell how they first discovered their hidden credentials and

writcs, "I certainly did a lot of child psychology raising four kids . . . Maybe I didn'tknow what the great philosophers thought, but I câ&#x201A;Źrtainly knew that you handled one child in one manner and another in an entirely different mumer . . , You could have a degree and not krnw anything and probably you would go a little ways, but you wouldn't go very far. On the other hand, you could have a lot of knowledge md no degree and the same thing would happen. But" if you have the knowledge and the degree then you could p'robably make some tracks." As Mr. Srnith notes, knowledge

without formalrecognition from an educational authority becomes a matter of economic power. To gain this recognition people must fint identify their hidden credentials in order to ap'ply for credit. To this end he supplies these personal case histories and various

wrinen exercises in his appendices for determining what it is you can get credit for. He also provides a very valuable list of colleges that give credit for life experience; it is a much more extensive list than the one chapter in Bear's Guide To Non-Traditional College Degrees (see following review) about places offering Life Experience Credit. Some of Mr. Smith's ideas are quite intriguing, though debatable. He proposes a standardized Experience Factor rating system and an up-to-date Educational Passport 0rat we could take with us to replace employen' and schools' reliance on transcripts and resurnes, and though I have reservations about this idea it is most refreshing compared to the comprlsory Life-Inng Education proposals

BEARIS GT'IDE TO NON-TRADITIONAL COLLEGE DEGREES

byJohnBear, Ph.D $9.95

Afterreading Dr. Bear's booh now in its Ninth Edition, my first reaction is to tell anyone c<nrcemed with their own or their children's future witlrout school credentials to buy this book zow. Itnot only provides you with the most oomprehensive listings of institutions offering fully-accredited college diplomas for non-uaditional education but also guidelines, advice, and rationale for using and evalua-ting these schools and theirprograms. This reference book is quite comprehe,nsive and farmce engaging $o read than others I have seen on this subjecr Unlike so many reference books, Dr. Bear doesn't pretend to objectivity. He presents his material with his own biases and hurnor firmly evident. He lerc you know what he thinks are good programs md bad ones, and as his wonderful chapter on Degree Mills shows, it is vital to have a guide like Dr. Bear lead one through the minefield of sight-unseen schools. For instance, about Buckner University in Honolulu, HI, lre writes, "All degrees, including some in medicine, for $45 eactr" They say there is a real Buckner in Fort Worth TX. There isn't. The literature says, 'We believe this modestly-priced yet extremely impressive document will give you great enjoymenq prestige, and potential profitabilty.' It is also likely to give you the oppornmity to meet some nice people from the county's Distict Attomey's offrce." The book is arranged so you get the title of ttre irsitution with its address and phone number first, then a brief description of the programs and costs, with additional comments by Dr. Bear following some of the listings. The listings range from the typical, like St. Bonaventure's Bachelor's program that is done entirely through evening snrdy, to the unusual, like Dominion Herbal College, of which we read '"The title of "Chartered Heftalist" is awarded to sftdenc who complete the 33 lessons of the correspondence course in herbalism. The cost of the pograrn is $500 Canadian. The school is apparently wellregarded in the profession." I was stnrck by the wealth of educational altematives these listings represent md how valuable these options can be for parents of homeschooled children whose teaching qualifications come under fire. Armed with this book, one should be able to satisfy any credential re-

quirements quicker and more tailored to your needs than if you had to atteill a traditional college course of study.

Experience, and Credit for Life Experience l.eaming. The latter is not as thoroughly covered as itisrrl-Yotu HiddcnCredentlals, but it is a good overview of tho topic, Advanced altemative degree programs, such as Law and Medicing are covered in their ovm chapter. I enlryed reading about the many different disciplines I never heard of, such as a Bachelor's degree in Fire Prevention Technology, urd the many different methods of rcrching, leaming, and evaluation that we can use to eam bona fide college degrees, Nova Universiry, for instance, offen Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctuates through its program that relies in large put on teleconferencing through personal computers; it can be completed in three and half yean, The marvelous University of the State of New Yort offers Bachelor degrees "entirely through non-resident study, at a cost that can be under $1,000. . , The univenity is the oldest state educational agency in Americg yet it has no faculty, no canpus, and no courses of its own, It is in ttre business of evaluating work done elsewhere, and awarding is own fully-accredited degrees to persorui who have accumulated sufficient units, by whatever means... Quite simply, the be,st... Accredite4 prestigious, inexpensive, fast efficient and available to anyong anywhere in the world." This book also shows you how the word'accredited" tums out to be as much of a weasel-word as "certified" Unlike other countries, accreditation in tln United States is an entirely vohmtary process, so there have evolved recognizrn afi unrecognized accrediting agencies. The chapter on Accreditation is very valuable not only for separating the real agencies from the phonies, but also for its explanation about the incredibly muddled concept of Accreditation. For homeschoolers looking to continue their non-traditional learning through the university years this book offers a multitude of optioru. It can help you enter the adult world without fear ofprospective employers shurming you because "you don't have that sheepskin." For aduls looking for a degree forjob security orjust interesting ooulres that won't separate you from your work, your family, and your money, this is a vital resource. Patrick Farenga

THE HrGH SCHOOL EgUTVALENCY EXAM by Cambridge Book Co. $7.5O

When my husband browsed through this 800-page G.E.D. preparation book, he became indignant over one practice question whose right arswer was that the forests of Brazil ale underused- "Underused? In whose opinion?" he said,'"That's the exploitative mentality." Yet we looked together at the other multiple choices and saw that they clearly did not fit, so that had to be the one. This seems to me to show just why homeschoolen can benefit from prepaation books if they have to take the tests. No matter how well-read or clear-thinking you may be, you simply must accept that the game is to figwe out what the test-makers want, not what seems right or best to you - or you will get nowhere on the test. Most people get plenty ofpractice at this game in school - and it does take practice. This large, single volume is designed to pre,pare you for all five parts of the G.E.D. test. Besides several practice tests, which are probably the most valuable, it contains much background information such as: the rules of English; the basic vocabulary and principles of the various sciences; a thorough (if quick) presentation of arithmetic, algebr4 and geometry; a five page list of commonly misspelled words (fun for family spelling bees); a complete history of the U.S. in less than ten pages; and more. We already sell the "Pre-G.E.D." workbooks published by the same company. They are easier to read (approximately fifth grade level) but do not cover the full range of material. I would recommend this

volume eidrer for (l) someonc who has finishcd the Pre-G.E.D. series and is ready to rnove orL or (2) someorr whosc reding ability is advanced enough (eighth grdc ad up) b make the Pre-G.E.D. series urmecessSry.

Two cautiqs. I think the biggest weakness of the book is that it gives sappy questions after each lesson in Social SMies, Science, urd Literature. These re not multiple choice like on the test but the sort found in texts and classrooms eveqmhcre - "open-cnded" discrrssion questions that purport to ask for opinions but still have a right answer, frll-in-the-blanks, true-false and so on- Cet what you can from these but don't ake them too seriously. Secon4 the book says you need to score about 809o on the practice tests to do OK on the real thing. However, when I taught G.E.D. stude,nts ten years ago, the math test was very hard and you actually only had to gettbntx?S%o right to pass. We used to warn students about this m else they would be demoralized when they coul&r't even understarrl three out of wery four questioru. It looks a tad simpler to me now but not mr.rch. Before you take the tests, ask the adult education teachers or counselors in your commmity how they are scored.

CRACKING THE SYSTEM

byAdam Robtnson and John Katzman $9.95 The bggest mistake snrdents who

preparing for the Scholastic

Aptinde Test make, say Adam Robinson and John Katzman, is that they study math p'roblems and vocabulary lists instead of the SAT itself. This is a waste of time, these authors argue, because the SAT "isn't a test of how smart you are. It's simply a test of how good you are at taking [these scts ofl tests." To prove how strongly they believe this, Robinson srd Katzman begin their SAT preparationbokCrackhgThe Sysem with this promise: "We're not going to teach you math. We're not going to teach you English. We're going to teachyou the SAT." And they do, in a way that is funny, wholly urrcrthodox, and boasts a greater track record than any of the other coaching books or p'rograms. Robinson and Katzman let us hto the mirds of the SAT questionwriters by introducting a chracter named Joe Bloggs. Joe Bloggs is the

averege student. He gets dl thc easy questions - that is, the ones that are designed to be easy for the average sndent - correct, and all the hard ones wrong. When you'rc worting (m an easy question, therefore (urd the authqs carefully explain the test's pattern of easy and hard questions), you should do what Joe Bloggs would do. When you're working on a question that the SAT writers think the average student

hr4 however, you figure out what Joe would do and then do the exact opposlle. For example: would find

INFINITESIMAL: SZE :: (A) trifling: signficance @) distant galaxy (C) cacophornus: music (D) lucid: behavior (E) enormous: mormtain In this question, the student is suposed to select the pair of words which bears the same relationship as infinitesimd does to size. The authors write, "Which choices attract Joe orr this question? Choice E definitely does, because enonnous md mountain 'just seem to go with' size. What does that mean? It means E is wrong, because this is a hard question and Joe doesn't get the hard ones right Joe is probably also attsacted to choice B: galaxies are large which makes that choice Just seem to go with' the words in capital letten." By this time we've eliminated two aruwer choices, and we've done it by thinking of Joe - in other words, the test-makers' conception of an average student - rather than our own intelligence or lack thereof. Maybe tesrtaking is something of a game! (fhe answer, incidentally, is

A.) After reading the rest of Robinson's and Katzman's explanations of problerns, you'll be so familir with the SAT way of thinking that you'll find younelf saying, "Aha! I know what they think I'm going to do here!" before you've even finished reading theparticular problem. By demystiSing the SAT, CrackingThe Sy$erz gives students the understanding they need to approach it with confidence, Puts of CrackingTlv Sysem make good reading even for people who have no plans to take the SAT, because by making this kind of book available, Robinson and Kazman ue implicitly doing more than just helping young people take a particular test without anxiety. After all, if the system can be cracke4 we no longer have to believe anyone who tells us its results are infallible. - Susannah Sheffer

John Holt'e Boston, MAO2lt6

THE MISMEASTJRI OF MAN by Stephen Jay Gould $5.95 John Holt used to warn that scierrce was not so different from religion, and that he was frightened by the way scientists especially "social scientists" - were guided by their beliefs. This 1981 book illustrates again and again the wisdom of ttris fear. Gould, a well-lnown biologist and essayist, examines the history of attempts in the 19th and 20th centuries o explain and me:utue human ability through physiological and psychological means - measuring skulls, analyzing facial features, administering IQ tests - and how this has been intertwined with justifications for racial oppression such as enslavement or segregation of blacks, extermination of Native Americans, and immigration quotas based on national origrn. His basic theme, repeated in a variety of ways: if you believed that intelligence is based on heredity, and ttnt whites were innately superior to other races (and until recently most whites did indeed believe these things), then any "scientific" study you did would simply reinforce your prejudice. Either your methods were flawed in a way you could not seâ&#x201A;Ź - but that we can see today - or you could account for unexpected results through some kind of twisted reasoning or circular logic. For example, Gould devotes 40 pagas to describing the Army Mental tests of 1917, the first large-scale IQ testing. Have you ever heard of the notion that the mental age of the average American is 13? It's firmly lodged in modern folklore. Well, that conclusion came out of the Army Mental study. People took it seriously and were shocked; they never suspected there was so much feeble-mindedness around, and seriously questioned whether the democracy could continue to function. What they didn't know, and what Gould shows, is the ludicrously flawed manner in which these tests were designed and given. Illiterates and foreigners were supposed to be given a separate test, but many were not, and even their venion expected them to be familiar with writing, numbers, and American culture. (Can you recognize a picture of a Victrola phonograph without its horn?) Testing conditions were crowded and noisy, officers barked out instructions and circulated urging people to hurry. When, as a natural consequence, many people scored zero on various tests, the designer concluded, not that the testing was at fault, but that the people tested were extremely stupid, and he even adjusted many scores to give them zegarrve IQ's! That is the kind of prejudiced conclusion that abounds. Did recent immigrants score more poorly than longer-term residents? Then it must have been that the US was geuing stupider immigrants than five c ten years before. Blacks from the North scored higher than blacks from the South? Then it must have been that blacks with more innate intelligence were smart enough to move north. The psychologiss were so certain that this test measured something called native intelligence that no result could shake them. Gould finds this kind of reasoning everywhere. In the 1800's, researchers measured the brains of '?minent" men, convinced that larger brain size meant larger intelligence. And when they found, as they sometimes did, that the brains were only average or even small, they sadly concluded that the

subjects must not have been so erninent after all, or perhaps got !o their high positions through fraud! We can be astonished urd amused and dismayed at such logic, since we have, for ttre most part, shaken off the prejudices that blinded these well-meaning and well-respected scholars. But an imporant implication is: what is going on today in the name of science that is suffering from the same kind of circular reasoning and short-sightedness? What are the assumptions that we think are so central and self-evident that we don't question them, and that are preventing us from seeing the truth?

I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who needs to debunk the schools' position on IQs, standardized testing, learning disabilities, and so on. In fact, I noticed that

the Grangers wrote in Tlw Magic Featlrcr (also available here) thatThe Mismcasure of Man was helpful in their fight against their son's Special Education, and they quoted the part about Binet, the designer of the frst IQ test, who said he hoped it was never used to judge the potential of children. However, there is much more value here than just that one application, and I hope many people will read it. GWS readers don't need a book to tell them that intelligence testing is silly or that racism is bad. But they may well benefit from this detailed inside look at the weaknesses of science, for supposedly objective technology affects every aspect of our future. From what other writing of his I've seen, Gould specializes in bringing the history of scientific thinking to the general reader, and he finds many important lessons in that field we can all stand to learn. Donna Richoux

From the Epilogue of The Mismeasure of Man: ln 1927 Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., delivered the Supreme Court's decision upholding the Virginia sterilization law in Buck v.

Bell. Carrie Buck, a young motler with a child of allegedly

feeble mind, had scored a mental age of nine on the StanfordBinet. Carrie Buck's mother, then fifty-two, had tested at mental age seven. Holmes wrote, in one of the most famous and chilling s&atements of our century: We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who alr.eady sap the strength of the state for these lesser sacrifices. .

..Three generations of imbeciles are enough.

...Buckv. Bell is a signpost of history, an event linked with the distant past in my mind... I was therefore shocked by an item in the Washington Post on 23 February 1980-for few things can be more disconcerting than a juxtapositioning of neatly ordered and separated temporal events. "Over 7,500 sterilized in Virginia," the headline read. The law that Holmes upheld had been implemented for forty-eight years, from 1924 w 1972.1he operations had been performed in mental-health facilities, primarily upon white men and women considered feeble-minded and antisocial-including "unwed mothers, prostitules, petty criminals and children with disciplinary problems."
