[Springboard] Imaginal education notes

[James Wiegel]

This is closer, I especially remember the child question.  It may be that I am recalling a modification that joe slicker made

Go around who is someone you would name who you would say is an educated person?  Go around again, who else would you name?  Who have we left out?
Read back the list.  What about any of these people (qualities, behaviors, attributes) had you describe them as an educated person?  What else?
If you were going to design a program to develop an educated person, what would you include?  Suppose you had a young child, no limits in terms of budget, what would you include?  Read the list back, what else ?

Then, I think there was a discontinuous question, like, thinking back over our conversation, what questions or issues has it raised for you?

Jim, our earliest notes from the West Side have something like this:
 
1.  What have been the most exciting events of the past century? past decade?  past year?
2.  What do we need to know to live in the midst of the world we have on our hands?
3.  How would you go about training someone to live in today's world?
4.  I've got a six-week old child.  He/she wants to be educated for today's world.  What does he need to know to live in this world?  What would an adequate curriculum/program look like for him from now until he is 16 years old?
 
(A later - in the mid-1970s and in a 1981 Imaginal Ed. manual - adds a 5th series of questions):
5.  If I say he needs to be prime minister, what would you add (to the curriculum)?  What else is required?
 
I hope this is accurate,
 
Bill

Wow.  Interesting, never saw this before .  . . I think my recollection goes back to the one put together around    1969
