Common Core in a Uncommon World
Walt Disney's Surprise Package (1944).
“Might Highty Tidy” By Dick Huemer and Joe Grant
In front of the jail, the
Highty-Tighty put a great
machine. “Now,” he said,
“begins the fun. We'll take
these folk and stretch them a
little here, squeeze them a
little there, press a bit,
flatten a bit, until their forms
are just like mine!”
The people shook their fists
and cried out angry shouts.
But it was no use. One after
the other, the short, the tall,
the fat, the lean, were
crammed into the wide metal
mouth of the dreadful
machine. One after the other
they tumbled out again,
stretched and flattened and
absolutely square!

Adult Learners and Finding Meaning
Victor Lebow "Price Competition in 1955"
(Journal of Retailing, Spring 1955)
"The Real Meaning of Consumer Demand", Lebow wrote:
• Our enormously productive economy demands that we
make consumption our way of life, that we convert the
buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our
spiritual satisfactions, our ego satisfactions, in consumption.
The measure of social status, of social acceptance, of prestige, is now
to be found in our consumptive patterns. The very meaning and
significance of our lives today expressed in consumptive terms. The
greater the pressures upon the individual to conform to safe and
accepted social standards, the more does he tend to express his
aspirations and his individuality in terms of what he wears, drives,
eats- his home, his car, his pattern of food serving, his hobbies.

Start With… Knowles Andragogy
Knowles Precepts:
– Self-concept: As a person matures his self-concept moves
from one of being a dependent personality toward one of
being a self-directed human being.
– Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a growing
reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource
for learning
– Readiness to learn. As a person matures his readiness to
learn becomes oriented increasingly to the developmental
tasks of his social roles.
– Orientation to learning. As a person matures his time
perspective changes from one of postponed application of
knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his
orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-
centeredness to one of problem-centeredness.
– Motivation to learn: As a person matures the motivation to
learn is internal (Knowles 1984).

Faith and the
Warfare of the mind
Homeless Lost and Found
I shut out the world
You invited me in
I have raged against brothers
You gave me love
I was a slave to my addictions
You have set me free
I have cheated my brothers
You have given me food
My attitude was bitter cold
You wrapped me in warmth
The world judged and beat me
You are kind and accepting
I come from a world of lies
You speak in truths
They expect me to fail
You expect me to succeed
They said I was a nobody
You said I am God’s child
I lived in filth
You showered and clothed me
I was alone
Now hundred’s support me
My fear made me angry
Now Grace gives me compassion
I abuse my family in my blindness
Now love give me new eyes
I was lost in my selflessness
Now found in the Lord’s oneness
How amazing my hopelessness
Is transformed by Grace
Of course I deserve none of this
