The chat is going to be focused on revamping and promoting the Agora Book Club (ABC). This will be supported by The Blue Crane.
A democratic and mutually beneficial structure is envisaged.
This is the old and dusty not finished site:
http://www.thebluecrane.com/agorabookclub
... and the time is right for it to change.
Manuscript (digital please) contributions to the book club are invited for consideration, as well as graphics, design and illustrations.
The group is not moderated, but hawkers are not encouraged!
Just more work for me deleting the entries as they come to attention.
There is no topic more important than the education of children.
It is a highly controversial issue, not least because the present 'system' is proving to be dysfunctional.
So the primary focus is to not only discuss, but publish and disseminate information pertaining to alternatives to the present 'system'.
Although topics covering homeschooling, unschooling, deschooling and so on are most welcome, there are many other aspects that can be covered, and there is certainly an ever growing market of dissatisfied parents who need and deserve to have as much high quality reference material as can be made available.
