Journal Entry 1 by prospero2u from Cedar Grove, New Jersey USA on Sunday, March 14, 2004
This is from 1982 - and that makes it actually more interesting to read now. Things have accelerated, if anything. It looks at the idea of childhood from antiquity to now. Particular attention to media influences and the way childhood & children are becoming an endangered species. My sons certainly did not get the long, slow, sweet childhood I had...

I read his book TEACHING AS A SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY back in college in the 70's when I was studying to teach and loved it. Heard him speak in at NYU once too.

Whoever finds this - I would be curious about the take you have on it if you are parent / teen / college student / senior etc.
