**Hello! My name is Leanne and welcome to my wiki!**
===**I am taking an independent study course that focuses on Pedagogy and Educational Theories. This website will demonstrate the information, analysis and reflections I attain as I tackle the complexities of this subject. My primary interest is the public education system and its conditioning practices. I plan to look into its behavioral and intellectual influences on the youth and its correlation with our society. The positive and negative aspects of participating in this method of learning will be studied by working with the [|sophomore][|class] in the [|Renaissance Charter School] through interviews and observation, as well as through books from the Critical Thinking Library. I am also exploring alternative educational practices and schools with a libertarian philosophy.**===

===//On October 27, a brave friend Brad Will, was murdered by paramilitaries in Oaxaca, Mexico. He went there to disseminate the struggle of repressed people through independent media. The protests began with teachers demanding higher salary and better working conditions but eventually grew to an upheaval against the state governor Ulises Ruiz. People should not have to die to affirm their rights and educate their community. I am inspired to learn about the struggle of the people in Oaxaca and others around the world who assert their right to education.//===
