My Dream Classroom
Do we really need a class-room?
Maybe we need learning space. A place where we are welcome; where we are safe and where we get a fair go.
In this place, everyone "plays by the rules". Everyone can equally voice their opinions for better space. Everyone gets a fair share of the resources and wealth of everything in the space, to live, to dream and to contribute to the space.
What do we learn in this space?
We learn to live within the space using least but sufficient resources only.
We learn to communicate with others, to form associations and to belong.
We learn to share and support each other, to give and to forgive.
We learn to develop and maintain this utopian space for us and our children.
What about science and technology, politics, economics, ...?
They are what we know about Nature and ourselves,
and what we can use to better our space.
Do we need tablets, mobile phones and degrees?
Did our ancestors, our parents have these to raise us, or their families?
Do our children shut themshelves off in front of TV, PC, tablet, mobile phone, ...
But civilized people have TVs, PCs, tablets, mobile phones, degrees, cars and money... and everyone is said to have equal opportunity to realize their potentials... conflicts and wars, pollution, ill heath, crimes, road accidents, no time for family, poverty and slums, ... forests, wildlife, clean air, clean oceans, clean foods, clean environment,...
Do we have welcoming and safe space where everyone of us can have a fair go?
Our Space.... "I like it"... and ..
A good friend .. & .. A good teacher.

Thanks Dr.Ple: "...A good friend and a good teacher..." Which is which? (a yellow friend and a green teacher?) In my space I find most people are 'friend-and-teacher's at the same time ;-)
And
Thank you ยายธี again for this food for thought
"....ใบรับรองที่จำนำไม่ได้..."
I thought the current Thailand's government had made commitment to let graduates pawn their degrees at 15,000 baht/month for unlimited period (like they do with rice). Of course, there are commissions (หัวคิว) - it is an accepted tradition in Thailand.
I agree with you .ซื้อหาไม่ได้.คือ..ความสุข(ของคนทั้งโลก)..." Happiness is not a thing we can buy or take... (; anatta ;) (-; Happiness is what we do ;-)
