Download or read book We re Gainin written by Jacob Watson and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’re Gainin’ By: Jacob Watson We’re Gainin’: Collins Brook, A Maine Free School - A Memoir is set in Maine during the turbulent 1960 and ’70s. It chronicles a man whose traditional public and private schooling focused on the intellectual and physical, and how he discovered in Summerhill schools his emotional and spiritual life. At age 27, Jacob (then Dick) Watson and his wife Sharon founded Collins Brook School and, with volunteer help, built classrooms and dormitories. Democratic school meetings tackled challenges of optional classes, ‘magic meadow’, organic gardening, stealing, bullying, food, and animals: Freya the Newfoundland, Randolph the beef steer, Priscilla the pig, and Washington the mallard duck. When a fateful plan to merge Collins Brook with another Summerhill school collapsed and his marriage ended, Watson found solace sailing the Maine coast and islands. Learning to listen to his still small voice within, he became an interfaith minister and started another Maine school. This book includes photographs, student writing, newspaper articles, bedtime stories, and transcripts of school meetings.
