Five years ago in March I was at the AASSA in Santiago. Today I am in Campinas, Brazil at the same conference. I thought this small reposting from the earlier conference was appropriate. Original post, March 17th.A speaker at last evening's opening social event for the AASSA conference here in Santiago read Gandhi's Seven Deadly Sins to us. (Her school prints them on a small card for all graduating 8th graders to carry.) If I had read them before, I'd forgotten. So in case you've forgotten too..
Thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality and engagement with the librarians and teachers at AASSA in Campinas this year. I always gain so much from conferences like these - meeting caring educators and learning from them.
Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi, one of the most influential figures in modern social and political activism, considered these traits to be the most spiritually perilous to humanity.
