Malcolm Burson's thought strikes a right chord in my heart.
>"just what does the word 'safe' mean in the context of learning?"
What really should be the FOCUS : LEARNING or Safety? LEARNING
ORGANIZATION ; SAFE Learning Organization ; what about "Risk-free learning
organization" "No pain, No Suffering Learning Organization" "Peaceful,
forever peace, learning organization"
LEARNING, IMHO, denotes something like enlightenment, great discovery,
fulfilling, self-actualization, win-win, vision crystallization process.
benefiting mankind etc. etc.
Hence Galileo LEARNT, with many experimentation, ... that the earth is
round, not flat,..... but then he was imprisoned for that LEARNING
Process, is that "unsafe"? The Government then did not provide a safe
learning environment?
Should [Safe] and [Learning}, these two words come together? If so, where
will that lead us to?
