Salomon and Sennett Nots

Salomon:
-Slojd- word with no English equivalent. It implies skill in work rather than craft as a productive activity.
- educational slojd- importance attached to the worker
- practical slojd- importance attached to the work itself
- whatever is educationally right but be practical and vice versa
- slojder for the most part works under the most primitive conditions
- wood carving is a "finer" form of manual work
-it is hurtful to the pupil for the teacher to touch their work... the pupil must learn by doing things themselves and problem solving
- keeping things in order is important... assigned seating, certain spots for tools (which must be kept in very good condition)
- teacher must not teach standing still in one place
- hand raising to get the teachers attention or other signal
- class work stays at school until the end of the school year or course duration, but after that it is the property of the maker
- sale of work for the benefit of the school should never be thought of

Sennett
- pragmatism wave 1: addressed the condition of Animal laborens
- to work well people need freedom from means-ends relationships
- the craft of making physical things provides insight into the techniques of experience that can shape our dealings with others
- pride in one's work lies in the heart of craftsmanship
