Richard Kahn

"As an example, instead of developing their environmental literacy (as is currently done) through explorative experiences of the zoo’s Wells Fargo Family Farm, a place according the zoo that can foster experiences for children “to explain and also to learn about how food gets from farms to tables” (http://www.mnzoo.com/animals/family_farm/index.asp), students could gain literacy into how to organize collectively in opposition to such practices and in how to demand answers from responsible parties as to why high-ranking executives of a leading corporate agribusiness like Cargill presently sit on the zoo’s Board of Directors."              Quote from "Towards Ecopedagogy" -Richard Kahn 

After reading this quote I think that Richard Kahn feels that this school is good in terms that it teaches students of their environment and excels their level of bioregional literacy or ecological literacy but he feels that maybe they could be taught in different ways. He points out that the students could learn how to organize against environmental issues and effectively make an argument against these people. In order to use the information they learn they must know how to act on the problems. I also think that in regular schools information such as this should be taught maybe not necessarily concerning the same context but students should be taught how to collectively organize as well as make arguments on any cause that they feel strongly about.
