An Experiment in Respect and Freedom, Apr 28, 2009
By TheWhiteRock, Santa Rosa, CA

"Instead of just a place of instruction, what if the heart of the public school classroom was relationships - between students and teachers and between students themselves - with the primary concern being the lives of the children.

Such was the experiment at First Street School in New York?s Lower East Side. There were five teachers and twenty-three students, black, white and Puerto Rican, all from low-income families.

An atmosphere of acceptance, respect, empathy and freedom used in a regenerative way ? this was their philosophy and this is the story of their outstanding results."
