Mark Federman refers to a move by several German towns to remove all traffic signals, forcing motorists and pedestrians to co-exist and negotiate each interaction without a higher authority. The result is a more civilized shared space. Mark then states that "By giving up the presumed need to control, and focusing more on living, meeting (especially of minds), and truly communicating, the questions for which bureaucracy, administrative control, and hierarchy are the answers may lend themselves to far more interesting approaches." Couldn't this approach work in learning environments as well? -HJ
