oanci26@gmail.com BioI love to read. I will read almost anything if given the chance. Yesterday I read the instructions to a set of pots and pans I've had for over a year. I also read the back of cereal boxes during breakfast and toiletry ingredients while using the bathroom. When not eating or using the facilities, I enjoy fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, non-fiction and YA books. Right now I am reading a lot about holistic, humanistic education mostly by Alfie Kohn, John Holt and A.S. Neill.
I am focused on becoming an educator and mentor in a democratic/free school which practices non-coercive, non-compulsory, student initiated learning, self-pacing, age-mixing, self-assessment, and self-governing. I believe in the freedom to learn without restrictions. I love to discuss and debate my educational philosophies and beliefs, so if you're game for discussion let me know.
Mostly I'm just a granola crunching, bleeding heart, liberal hippy with very socialistic tendencies. I didn't begin life like this, but it's where I've grown to and I'm extremely content about the development.
