[for your MOM: Breathe in and out as slowly as you can...]
JOURNAL TOPIC: (featuring the return of Today's Tunes! "Apricot Brandy" by Rhinoceros & "Paper Sun" by Traffic)
Every day, lots of things come up that demand our attention. How can you tell the difference between what's important and what's urgent?
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Review today's recording (below) if you couldn't join us
4. Post
POST TOPIC:
First, thanks to everyone for your insights and suggestions today. The book obviously hit a nerve with all of us. The way that Clarisse experiences high school and the way that Bradbury envisions our society operating are fairly (and alarmingly!) close to the way we experience real life. So, based on your comments, today's topic is:
When young people don't read it makes it easier for adults to oppress and control them. In the book, Clarisse describes school as blocks of hours on video lessons, and there's a parallel to what we're doing now that we're all online. What are we learning from this, and where will this lead our society? (Title: WHAT ARE WE LEARNING NOW?) *Note: You can use this topic as a launchpad to discuss whatever is on your mind as you consider the book, our discussion, and current events.
