| Comments: | Alfie: I am a blast from the past, but I also work with
children, and have raised two daughters in the public schools down here
(though NOT at Beach Hi)... I'm writing now to encourage you to run for
office. Any kind of office. I know, you're busy, but I am so tired of
the people with brains shying away from leadership. You and Daniel Quinn
(author of Ishmael, My Ishmael, Story of B, etc.) are the most wise
people I know, and I've tried to encourage him also. We're considering
moving to Iceland or something if we have to endure any more of the war
excuses/fear inducing/out and out craziness of the people who've been
destroying our planet lately. Don't get me wrong, I think Hilary Clinton
could maybe handle it, and I've raised my daughters to be strong
advocates of peaceful resolution of conflicts, etc., but I'm sick of
KNOWING that there are wiser solutions to problems that are not brought
to the forefront. It's not just the field of Education that needs your
ideas, it's everyone, everywhere!

| Comments: | Just read the 2003 article, "Almost there..." in my
research for an "Art of Discipline" seminar I'm facilitating. Besides
thanking Alfie profusely for it, I'd also like to "add one" to the "not
quite there" category: I've been in so many classrooms where the
teacher's approach to discipline actually, over time, undermines the
solid, child-centered, learning activities she introduces AND erodes
really good connections that she has with the kids. When will we learn
that our approach to discipline cannot be opposite from our approach to
teaching?

the educational philosophy Alfie Kohn promotes-- I discovered his work.
I left New York City in the hopes of finding a more compatible
educational environment for my seven=year old son but have come to the
conclusion that our pessimistic adherence to behaviorism and dehumanized
competitiveness is everywhere in our land. My question to you, Alfie
Kohn and the like-minded, is there a school that you can recommend? I'm
willing to relocate pretty much anywhere. Thanks!

| Comments: | It is my first year as a teacher and I am guiding a
secondary language arts class in a school that is 98% Alaska Native
(Chup'ik). I read your book, Beyond Discipiline, just days before the
start of the school year. This windy, rural village is, like other
Alaska Native communities, in the unique circumstance of having Western
cultural values imposed on it through the modern school. Like other
Yup'ik Eskimo communities, Chevak residents still speak their Native
language, eat subsistence foods, and retain close family bonds. Although
it has a new, $23 million school, the town is destitute. Earlier this
summer, the community had IRS liens of almost $200,000 and almost had
its power cut off. Meanwhile, I am trying to create class community in a
school that, like most, has a punitive discipline plan. I have to ignore
everything I've been taught in graduate school, push aside the warnings
of fellow teachers, and ease my impulse for classroom "control" to
encourage students--who are themselves used to an institutional system
of "management"--to construct their own learning. It is very difficult
and I am alone in my approach. The school district's primary goal is, of
course, to have students pass the statewide "exit exams" and meet AYP.
It is the third year Chevak hasn't made its test targets and the state
is threatening sanctions. (For many students, English is a second
language.) In light of these problems, I'm having my students write
grant applications, start a newspaper, and develop a public safety team
(the community can't afford to pay a village public safety officer
anymore). It's a tough situation. But I'm trying. Thanks for your beacon
of light at the far end of the tundra.

| Comments: | I would like to thank Alfie for the wonderful
presentation given in Vancouver for the British Columbia Teachers'
Federation. It is with much shock and dismay to find our province stuck
in the "Standards & Test mania" after many years of relative teacher
autonomy. It was also shocking to hear Alfie's pronouncement that he
felt the BC learning outcomes were some of the most stringent and
mindless he has ever seen! I guess after all these years of teaching in
one place you lose sight of where your system is in relation to others.
It was quite an eye-opener and a wake-up call that we teachers in BC
must fight this encroachment of our autonomy and resist these
"bean-counters" and remember that policies and laws passed by
governments do not have to remain...they can be changed. BC teachers may
be engaged in strike action in mid-September so wish us all success in
our fight to regain common sense in education!

After 30 years in the classroom I am so disheartened to see what we are
doing to our young people. We have given them the idea anyone can FIND
anything(information) without having to think critically or read with an
inquiring mind. Stuff them full and they SHALL regurgitate.If
regurgitating is good that day and test scores are high that PROVES we
have a great school and are meeting the needs of our students. Baloney!
Our students deserve better, and it's our fault if they do not receive
it. Thanks for the site. I appreciate being able to "connect" with those
who truly understand what is happening to our public education system.
We are caught, as teachers, in the trap of top-down decision making and
the lack of understanding that a system cannot thrive or survive as long
as teachers feel as foot soldiers. Please excuse my rambling......

Attended workshop yesterday |
| Comments: | Alfie, I was in the workshop yesterday (July 19) at
Kean University. I spoke to you before your presentation and mentioned
to you that while we were watching a video tape on how to interpret test
dat, I started to read your book and was pleasantly surprised that
everything you wrote was the exact opposite of what was being said on
the tape. You mentioned New Jersey doing away with the SRA process. I am
the assistant principal for an alternative high school in Hudson County,
New Jersey, a highly urban area. Most of our students have gone through
the SRA. This past June, 80 students graduated, and 60 of them are going
on to college, either 2-year or 4-year. This is great since most of them
had either dropped out or were at-risk of dropping out. If NJ does away
with the SRA, where are they going to be? Anyway, I have long been a
proponent of everything you spoke about yesterday. When I teach a class
(English), I tell the students on the first day of class not to worry
about their grades. I'm the one who puts the grades in the book, and all
they have to do is to give a good effort and concentrate on learning. It
works. Grades mean nothing to me -- learning does. Thanks for a great
afternoon. Tom Killeen

| Comments: | Conditional love and parenting is the way I grew

am very open to this way of parenting-with trust and respect, but I'm
not so sure my husband will be. I wondered if you will be giving
workshops for parents in Manhattan? Also, have you or will you consider
training parents to conduct workshops to other parents? Also, what about
offering family retreat weekends where you could give workshops, etc.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this very important book.

| Comments: | Thank you for putting into words what I feel in my
heart! I am a first time mom, daughter is just approaching 6 months old.
On a recent trip to visit relatives, I cannot say how many times I heard
something to the extent of, "enjoy it while you can! as soon as she's 15
you'll lose all control" and all I could think was if my husband and I
are trying to control our daughter when she is 15 (or at any age!), we
are doing something terribly wrong. Here's to treating our children like
fellow human beings and breaking vicious cycles!!

| Comments: | In reards to competitin in schools: I have been a
teacher and adminstrator in schools for six years now, and have been
extremely dissatisfied with the structure of the schools. I sat and
observed several "award cermonies" and other such competitions with a
great sense of unease. It was not until recently I began to understand
the nature of competition in schools and the negative impact it had on
most of students. I duly keep the competition out of my classroom;
however, I remain alone in my endeavers - at the end of the year, I am
always asked by those ordering the awards, "who was your best student?"
