012. Gaby Speaks: Or the 16 habits of mind


Today’s morning meeting was in charge of Gaby and believe me it was an amazing morning meeting. She pointed out very strongly that we should keep working in our 16 habits of mind but don’t think that was something traditional the way she expressed herself. She was very animated and she gave examples and sometimes call for attention. It was a good session since with other pioneers like Isa, Mabe and Marce we were worried about some lowering in the standards at our performance at MPC. But his was a good call!  

We later had a conversation vía Skype with Andrew Humphries who called us from New Delhi, India. He shared his passion about Euclid and talk to us a little about the importance of what we were doing.

After lunch we had a dialogue on the reading “The allegory of the Cave” with Gaby and Javier Tabush offered to interpret with their voices. We talked about this for about an hour and we discovered how interesting and profound is the thinking of Plato. What striked me the most, besides the actual allegory, was the constant references to Geometry and in that moment I felt connected with them. Then we start watching the documentary La Eduación Prohibida but we didn’t finished that day. After we saw like half of the documentary we debrief the general ideas and the main problem that education is facing nowadays. We also realized how our own personal experience can be described in the terms presented in the movie.
