This is the official blog for Educ 2250 and the incipient educator, Lorraine. My previous blog, learnlikeagirlnow.blogspot.com, should not be followed for this class.
My education is broad and deep: Catholic school, public school, Catholic college, land grant colleges, private colleges. My life was my priority and my education in college was secondary to that. Life in the 50s and 60s was fabulous and school had some fabulousness to it, but proved a dim possibility in contrast to the uproar of Sputnik, the integration of schools and colleges in the time of Civil Rights, the blooming consciousness of Women's Rights and Social Unrest and Ethical Quandry of the Vietnam War.
Though I came from a conservative Catholic background blended with Quaker insights and actions, I wanted to live on my own terms, not learn on others' terms, and so that is what I did. Unwittingly, of course, I was learning, but you couldn't have told me that then.
