numbers of students you help really worth the damage done to every one of
them?

Bruce,
I've visited this before. Once before, someone told me I couldn't possibly
trust most of the people in a Sudbury Model school if I didn't trust all of
the staff. My response was that, "most of the people at the school are
students. I trust them."
I despise the system, not the children. They are two seperate things.
I never said I helped any of them. I merely lrespect them. I happen to think
that is of value. I don't quantify it or analyze it. I just do it, and not
just at school.
And in my wildest fantasies, I would never assume that every one of them is
damaged. Likewise, I would not assume that all children in Sudbury model
schools are "undamaged".
Kathleen
