Revolution

Building on the conference theme of revolution, Pat Bassett spoke about what he calls the third great American revolution (after THE American Revolution and the Civil Rights Movement), the revolution that is happening in education. Of course, he feels that independent schools serve the role that Madison did in 1776 and Johnson did in the 1960s, without whom the first two revolutions would not have happened. He encouraged us to dream like revolutionaries, that it is within the power of teachers to change the world.
