from Windsor Castle to an American University.

“DEMOS Research Intern Harry Hoare has produced the below summary of discussions at the conference.”
Of Good Character Windsor Conference – Harry Hoare
If you look at the illustrious “Advisory Board” of www.learningforlife.org.uk you will see a former private secretary to Prince Charles, and a Rothschild representative, plus high-faluting members of the Church of England. These people are hoping to change or influence the character of young people, and there is this new range of books to help do this – by “casting visions” of the Third Way and the Big Society!
www.greenleaf.edu/pdf/margaret_mccombs.pdf here is an unfortunate lady MARGARET T. McCOMBS who has been completely suckered in by all this. She’s a fan of Learning For Life’s Professor James Arthur MSc, D.Phil (Oxon) FRSA and is so excited about Communitarianism in education that she’s written a thesis on it.

"Acknowledgments
I wish to acknowledge the community beyond my family that has nurtured me through this process, of friends and providers without whom I could not have accomplished all that has been done in the past ten years of the birth of the community school movement. To name a few, I thank Martha Hogue, Debi Cox and Linda Rivenburg who helped me get that first difficult year off the ground; Robyn Terwilleger, who bravely took on the administrative leadership of the school and has taken it beyond where I could have; Bill Terwilleger and Terri Alderman, who have been among the best and most faithful board members over the years; my siblings, Barbara, Judith, Lois and Joel, who prayed from the sidelines and cheered me on; my herbalist Pam Shouse, without whom I would never have found the energy and great health to sustain me; my visionary parents Gordon and Janis Timyan who lived out a powerful example of the strength it all, my Master Teacher, Jesus Christ, who daily inspires me to die in order to live.

This has a Theosophical feel to it, to me.
It is the children I feel so sorry for.
