Ezekiel Sanches of Anasazi Will
Spend More Time in Field
I hear in ANASAZI, in Arizona, that Mike Merchant will be handling the
office more so Larry D. Olsen and Ezekiel Sanchez can spend more time
in the field.
Explorations Plans Trip
Loren Riddell, of Explorations in Western Montana, is planning to take
their home based students to Yellowstone Park in February for a week
of cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
One Experience Available to Rocky
Mountain Academy Students
One of the experiences available to Rocky Mountain Academy students
is Ishi, named after the last survivor of the Northern California Yahi
Indians. Learning to live the Yahi Way means to learn to live simply
without the everyday distractions and conveniences that modern man feels
are necessities.
David Denman Reports on Goals
of TIME OUT
David Denman, an Education Consultant from Mill Valley, California,
reports clients from a half dozen states for his service called TIME
OUT. The goal of TIME OUT is to help young people and those not so young
who wish "to extend their education and enrich their personal development
by means of carefully arranged, extraordinary experiences." Experiences
arranged by David include working with a conservation corps in Australia,
working on an Israel Kibbutz, placement as assistant to a team of solid-state
physics researchers at the Technological University in Holland, working
as a junior staff member at an elementary boarding school on a farm
in the East, and an extended cross-country bus tour. His focus is not
so much "where to go" or "what to do", but is more developmental in
that he looks at what goals and experiences would nurture the most growth
in each individual.
Common Denominator of CEDU Families
"The common denominator of CEDU families is the absence of meaningful
communication between parent and adolescent.... [the] parent communication
system .... has evolved a program that has as its goal the establishment
of communication not just between the school and the parents, but between
the parents and child as well."
