Community: The Structure of Belonging by Peter Block is proving to be an interesting and insightful summary of how we humans form community, and where and why we have botched it even while trying to build it. One of the issues Block highlights is context. He points out that the paradigm of context has everything to do with whether or not we are engaged in building or restoring community, or blocking community regardless of our intents" The context that restores community is one of possibility, generosity, and gifts, rather than problem solving, fear and retribution."He goes on to say, "Communities are human systems given form by conversations that build related-ness."What conversations can happen to help schools become communities where a student's success and achievement is not statistically predictable based on their race and income?What forms can conversations take to build related-ness between those traditionally excluded or ignored and the people who make programs and policies that effect them.Is it possible for a person or group of people who have been deeply wronged to engage in a conversation based on possibility and not past grievances and the associated feelings of fear and retribution? If so, what form can these conversations take, if community is given form by conversation?
