11.12: Individual and Collective Development
Social fellowships are built upon
interests, inclinations and agreements. But schools are not
voluntary fellowships and are built upon power-structures. The
experience in the classroom of some kind of restriction on the
amount of influence one has as an individual will frequently result
in one or two of the participants dominating a mutually significant
relationship. The widest and most fruitful of fellowships are
developed when those involved in the relationship have a free hand
in developing themselves as individuals and as members of the
group. It is essential that an individual can visualise the various
and varied possibilities for further development of both self and
group which could be achieved through a fellowship.
