My name is Patrick Ip and I serve as the College Coordinator for ReThink Learning Now, and was wondering if you'd be interested in working with us. We're a national coalition of individuals, organizations, students all centered around making education truly an experience that helps students. I'm actually a first year at the University of Chicago and thus we may be able to get together some time to discuss. But one of our major projects right now, from the youth side, is to organize a National Conference where students and policy makers get together for a weekend to draft new legislation. If you have any advice on how we could work together, feel free to contact me at Pip1385@gmail.com or 209-604-8832.
Sincerely,
Patrick Ip
I love your description of your ideal school - and hope to see it realized!
As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.
As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.
In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)
You may also be interested in taking a look at our companion site - the Five Freedoms Project. The section on "What We Value" includes a variety of resources about the five freedoms of the First Amendment, our leadership framework, student voice, and impact factors.
Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. Thanks again!
