What is Freedom to You?
Here are some guiding prompts—
1. Share an experience in which you felt free as a person in a school space (extracurricular, sports, classroom, etc.) Share an experience in which you felt free outside of the school space.
2. Do you remember thinking about freedom as a young person? Were there people/events/things that influenced your thinking about freedom that you can remember?
3. How did you feel about school and education throughout your youth? Was it a space in which you felt you could be yourself?
4. Do you feel emotional connections or responses to freedom? Liberation? Education?
5. Has your thinking about schooling, education, and freedom changed throughout your life, or has it remained fairly consistent?
