                  %AFFIRMATION OF LEARNING BY PEERS 850604

     Learning is incomplete and impotent unless and  until
it  is affirmed by important peers as well as by teachers.
Learning which runs counter to both peers and teachers  is
incomplete and less powerful than is learning which enjoys
mutual affirmation and understanding.

     Self  can  not effectively compensate for the lack of
affirmation  of learning by peers and/or teachers.    Such
lack  can  only  be  partially  compensated  for  by  self
referential  behavior on the part of self.    The  missing
affirmation   is  a  missing  gift  which  self  can   not
powerfully give to self.   Such a gift is potent only when
it  is  given to self by others,  and it is  important  to
recognize and acknowledge this fact of real life.  Keeping
that  fact in mind will help communities to take seriously
the  importance of providing children with  the  essential
gifts  of the affirmation of their learning the  essential
aspects   of   healthy  living.    Absent  such   communal
affirmations   living   may  become  unhealthy  and   lack
integrity,    and  so  community  disintegrate.    Genuine
communities  build  corporate unity and integrity  by  the
affirmation  of the integration of children with  personal
integrity  into the unity of the community.   Personal and
communal  integrity  are essential to each other and  each
self lacks essential aspects of personhood without either.
