Welcome to the Democratic Education Collective. This blog is intended to be a platform for discussions in and around the topic of public education, with specific regards to its function in the creation and preservation of democracy.
Past and current attempts to commodify knowledge and distance public education from the commons are the impetus for the creation of this blog. We welcome the perspective of anyone concerned with the fate of our schools and the fate of democratic ideas worldwide. Please share your concerns, questions, experiences and knowledge as a way to initiate a new conversation about education. We welcome your expertise, creativity, and passion regarding any and all issues pertaining to education.
As a collective, we can produce and communicate a new educational conversation.
Aloha, Mr. Hand
