[Xmca-l] Re: RES: Re: Child Development: Understanding a Cultural Perpsective

[Rod Parker-Rees]

Many thanks David and Mike,

Yes, I am certainly looking forward to having time to keep up with the XMCA conversation and I will be continuing in my role as co-editor of 'Early Years'. And I will have an adequate pension!

I am also looking forward to meeting some XMCA contributors at the ISCAR conference in Quebec. It will be good to be able to see the people behind the ideas.

All the best,

Rod

For discussion, David.

Vis a vis the uniqueness of early ontogeny : That there is functional
reorganization associated with physical decline and cultural accumulation
seems like a point of potential agreement as an abstract starting point. A
great many adults in this world appear to believe that there IS a '"final
or complete or ideal" that guides their behavior.

Vis a vis mandatory retirement: Hopefully Rod will not be economically
crippled by being "let out to pasture." If he has the means to keep body
and soul together, he now has a great deal of time to devote to issues he
cares a lot about. And he will be more productive in academic fora such as
XMCA.  Its a great luxury.  And presumably the people migrating to South
Korea to teach in order to keep body and soul together are sharing the fate
of their working class kin. :-(

Hang in here Rod!  :-)
