Cooperative

There’s something about collectively coming together to learn or create that feels more equal than hierarchical. Four decades ago, I trained as a social studies teacher. We chose to teach each other in a democratic cooperative style, with two old hippy course leaders. I loved that style of learning. I was an open door,  influencing my inherent anti-authority beliefs. From an early upbringing of a ‘do as I say’ parent, I’ve been asking Why ever since.
