Again, I am tickled that some tabs which I had open and saved to read this week (Olivia, Ben, and A.A. Kostas) had all been gathered here. I enjoyed Olivia's piece on children. Reminds me of how I've heard education talked about, when it comes to the philosophy behind classical models vs. modern schooling.
Interested in that Greyhound bus piece. I used the MegaBus and Greyhound sometimes with friends, going between undergrad in TN and home in MN. Also tons of memories taking public transit during a short time lived in NYC. It's a whole *experience,*
So funny how often our reading interests overlap! The connection with education is interesting - I hadn't thought of it like that but it's true, the view that children are people who need moral guidance and formation versus the view that children are future workers who need skillsets (an over-simplification, but my first thought).
I frequently took the MegaBus/Flix Bus/Peter Pan in college but as an adult with more means I always fly or drive - but there is such a specific set of experiences and a sense of openness that come with long distance buses, for better or worse, that you don't get anywhere else. I do still love to take public transit whenever I'm in a big city - the people-watching is unparalleled lol.
