Title: New Schools Exchange Newsletter. Issue 125. May 1975
Description: Pettigrew, AR, New Schools Exchange, Publisher, 1975. Wraps. Illustrated wraps. 41 pp. Black and white illustrations throughout. Single issue of this newsletter produced to provide connections and exchanges of ideas and experiences of those involved in the Free School Movement that originated in the 1960s. The Free School Movement grew out of the 1960s counterculture and social justice movements, with the various schools themselves focusing on different subjects, ways of teaching, etc. As Scott Walter notes, "free schools tended to fall into the binaries of either utopian cultural withdrawal from external concerns, or built on the legacy of freedom schools with direct political address of social injustices." He also points out that students generally fell into the white middle or upper middle class or poor children of color from urban communities. This issue discusses food in schools, the youth liberation movement, the Upland Hills Farm School and other subjects. GOOD+ condition. Minor general toning and soiling to the covers, with a hint of foxing. Minor wrinkling, creasing and edgewear. Good .
