Choice 3: Checking our learning

[Taylor Willingham <taylor@bwillingham.com>]

(note: Those of you on the west coast just getting home from work may still be posting repsonses to other participants and to the questons I have posed. Feel free to continue posting and respond to the reflecting questions when you are ready.)


Early on in our discussion, one of you stated that you couldn't believe you were actually considering this choice. Deliberation is not necessarily to change people's opinions, but it does change people's thinking. Our thinking changes when we listen to each other and learn from each other. Often, listening and talking to each other is like holding a mirror up. We don't really know what our thinking "looks" like until we try it on in public.

As you have read through the comments of your fellow participants, in what way have you found your thinking changing? Was there something that someone shared during our discussion that was like a mirror and helped you to clarify (or perhaps confuse!) your own thinking - regardless of whether or not you agreed with them? What, if anything, surprised you?
