Welcome to the First Internet Free School!

[Skip]

Hip Forums is hosting this school modeled on the anarchist vision of the Free School. The idea behind this is to create the optimum environment for learning, free from academic stress, grades, deadlines, tuition and compulsory attendance.

I don't see whats wrong with free school but... if there is something wrong then I might drop out. see I never though that free range in tasks in life was such a big deal. for real I have to tell you bomb class is not what you should be teaching...



besides how hard is it to make a hydrotic for real… idiot, a bomb is a bomb find the source of gasoline that burns and chemically get rid of the parts that don’t burn and if it needs other parts like oxygen then get something that holds oxygen and find out how to devaporate the rest of the chemicals efficiently.

That information is not for use you must block it out of your mind now! or tell funny storeys about it.

impossable public material in any form dosent work for bombs thats why you phone me huh because you wanna know how to make one but i don't know any more besides its beond all ethical logical comprehention to tell you how to make a bomb or to use knoladge to hurt humanity and the statement was hurt humanity by my meaning witch refers to all humanity in any form or way also means i would never try to hurt humanity in any way.

although it also means i disagree with meny government actions policys laws guid lines ect. ^^ chat

If you are talking to me. Not to be smart or anything but to answer your question. I have degrees including a masters from nationally accredited universities, but am desiring a learning environment free of the pressures of tests and quizes where the focus of the curriculum is based more on education and not scores. Not saying that I did not learn anything at the universities, but at my age and with the scheldue I now have I would enjoy taking classes purely for the joy of expanding my knowledge tank and not worrying about due dates or passing classes. Thanks for the comment though, it was probably an issue that needed to be cleared up. Peace and Love!!!

On the left side of the screen, under Group Names, it is the third one down (Free School). Or click on this http://www.hipforums.com/modules.php?name=Groups&gid=32


It looks interesting, Hopefully they will have a class on how to cook vegetarian meals. I'm not a veggie but am interested in cutting back on meats. Anyway there are a lot of things they are talking about doing. I also wish you the best in your student studies, they are very important too. Peace and Love!!!

It's a great idea. I really like it. Looking forward to participating even.

My critique: It should be Free Internet School, not Internet Free School. Even though there's no hyphen in the latter, it still reads as 'a school free of internet'. Might sound like picking a nit but I thought I'd mention it since it's the school's title. <insert 'honest to god I'm not being snide, just want to suggest' smilie here>

For the moment it is officially being called the Free School. We will have a poll on a name soon...

[OverTheStars4Us]

Love the idea Skip, this is the way education should be. The free exchange of knowledge for one and all to facilitate the understanding between the masses... This could be a spectacular thing for the Hip Forums as long as we really get people who are dedicated to teaching others. I look forward at whats to come. Peace, Love, Understanding, and Truth

Skip, I think in order to get full participation, you (or someone) should post on all of the boards in case someone doesn't see this. I think we should try and get everyone involved!

[mortes]

This is an amazing Idea and one of my favorites that anarchists have produced(I'm big into it myself). I'm glad you got this thing going, and if I can do anything to help this run lemme know. I'm not sure if I'm teacher worthy, but I do know how to steer discussions fairly efficiently so that no one ends up angry and everyone learns, even the teacher. Because after all, aren't we all equal?

Peace,
tony

I would personally like to see someone host an English section regarding definitions of words. The first words I think should be is what liberty, patriotism, and freedom from "oppression" mean. Not what the military thinks it should mean. Just my opinion. Peace.
