This Sunday, we'll explore a few different dimensions of education with one of our favorite Hub lecturers, Alfie Kohn.
Alfie will lead a conversation about the downsides to traditional education and about how to raise (and teach) kids to be "reflective rebels:" to acquire both the inclination and the skills to question authority.
Alfie Kohn is the author of 14 books about education, parenting, and human behavior. These include The Schools Our Children Deserve, The Myth of the Spoiled Child, The Brighter Side of Human Nature, and Punished by Rewards. Kohn lectures to researchers, parents, teachers, and managers all over the world. He lives (actually) in Belmont and (virtually) at alfiekohn.org.
1:30-3:00pm, 30 JFK Street. Read more here.
We're delighted to announce that during this program, and all Sunday events to follow, we will have
free programs for kids of all ages (4+) and a nursery space for parents and babies. Read more on the right
or on the website here.
