Join neighbors and fellow members of Makiki Talks at this week's Farmers' Market at St. Clement's Church for Makiki Talks' first meet-up. Do some shopping, pick up a plate dinner from one of the Market's tasty vendors, and come talk story about Maki…
Thanks Amica, I think you are mostly right on target. Your questions are the kinds of questions we need to be thinking about and discussing.
We need to drastically rethink education as we bring our children into a world of social and environmental problems that need radically different kinds of thinking and responses to find solutions. The kind of solutions that require deeply in tune, c…
"Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration" I agree with these famous worlds by Thomas Edison echoed here by Nicole that the self discipline to follow your intrinsic desires is a large part of any persons learning and succe…

I agree with Phillip- parental involvement in education is key to the success of most children. Without it, the teachers are what might be a child's only source of encouragement and discipline. Most teachers embrace that role. But, sometimes I think…
Dayle,
As someone who strongly advocates public schools and as someone who hopes to start a family soon this topic weighs heavily on my mind.
This is purely based off of my observation, personal experience and speculation but parent involvement is…
For many years I have been concerned about the many children and youth whose interests are not being well served by our school system.
Thus, my primary interest and purpose in Rethinking Education is to raise questions about things we often take fo…

- Welcome to Makiki Talks Dayle! Let me know if I can help you navigate through this site. I think it would be great to start a "Rethinking Education" group here - Norma & I were chatting about the first meeting and it sounds like a great discussion group.
