%ASSOCIATION MADE MAKE EXPERIENCE POSITIVE NEGATIVE+950607

     The adult  is the beneficiary and/or  victim  of  the
associations  made by the child in the experiences of  the
child who grew into being the adult.  The associations are
made by the child through the choices made by the child in
the  light  of  the experiences of the child  due  to  the
choices    made    by   the    parents/guardians/teachers.
Associations  made  by the child cannot be  determined  or
controlled by the parents/guardians/teachers of the child.
Thus  education is a joint venture engaged in by the child
and  the parents/guardians/teachers.  It is ultimately the
choices   made   by   the  child  which   determines   the
associations which are made by the child---and interpreted
by  the child in ways which influence the adult into which
the child grows.

     The joint ventures of education which children engage
in  with  their parents/guardians/teachers  are  reflexive
ventures  which reflect back upon all the participants  in
the  joint  ventures; they are not objective  ventures and
cannot  properly be evaluated so long as they are regarded
as objective ventures.   No evaluation can be an objective
process,  because every evaluation is embedded in a set of
values and ideals which motivate and guide the evaluation.
Doubly  so an evaluation of a reflexive process cannot  be
an  objective process.   People who seek to carry  out  an
objective  evaluations  of educational joint ventures  are
bound  to  be trapped in double binds  which  prevent  the
people from being  true to self an others about what it is
that they are trying to do; and what experiences they have
in trying to do what they cannot do.
