"Neither learning nor justice is promoted by schooling because educators insist on packaging instruction with certification."
—Ivan Illich (Deschooling Society)
Not a particularly cheery first post, but... Here's a poignant and respectful obituary for Minnie Mae Murray, Donald Murray's wife, who died Tuesday. If you live in New England, you might have seen Don's Boston Globe columns, in which he often wrote about Minnie Mae's (and his own) struggles with old age.
Don's keeping things private for now, but he's well supported by the community here at UNH.

Just to send my condolences to Professor Murray. I met them both at a Connecticut Writing Project Conference in 1985. Very kind people. Best wishes.
