"That which can best be taught inside the schoolrooms should there be taught, and that which can best be learned through experience dealing directly with native materials and life situations outside the school should there be learned."

L.B. Sharp, (1943).Outside the classroom. The Educational Forum



Credo

I teach in order to share my life's passion.
I teach in order to help you find your life's passion.

People who have found life's passion
know the freedom of discipline
respect other people's passions
have the opportunity to make a contribution
to the culture of humanity,
perhaps even the culture of the planet!

If your passion lives in my territory,
I'll help you make a set of maps.

If you can't find your passion here, it does exist somewhere.
It's your responsibility to find, develop, and manifest the
passion you were born with. Go with my love!

 — From my friend, Patrice Michaels,
Lawrence University, Appleton, WI

A land ethic, then, reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a
conviction of individual responsibility for the health of the land. Health is the capacity of the land for
self-renewal. Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve this capacity.

 — Aldo Leopold

 

The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.

 — Frank Lloyd Wright

 

 

 

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be ... The People cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe.

 — Thomas Jefferson
