Naming our Free State School project in Keene

[Russell Kanning]

How about Screw University?

I have to admit that I smiled at that one.

Liberty Learning Center is actually the one I was (wrongly) remembering.

If you go with "Liberty Tree", I'd just call it the "Liberty Tree" and not "Liberty Tree Learning Center".

Just my 2?.? Or maybe I am up to 4? now.? ?

Hmmm... I personally REALLY LIKE Liberty Tree Learning Center. It has the whole "growing" thing going for it...The logo almost designs itself.

I'm willling to put LT and LLC on there as seperate choices, if people want.

Why?? Do you need lessons in that, Lloyd?

Hell No!
I've forgotten more about that subject then you'll ever................er.......what were we talking about?

Actually, I thought 'Screw U' would be funny.

If you use Stark,  isn't it a good idea to use Jonh Stark or Gen. John Stark?

[Russell Kanning]

Stark would have to be way down my list of choices.

[Kat Kanning]

I'm fond of Stark for personal reasons   It's a family name.

John Stark Revolutionary Training Center...LOL.

[Russell Kanning]

That would make them quake in their boots.

Wasn't Stark also a physician?? It could be the "Dr. and Gen. John Stark Center for Learning", just to be super-pompous.

[Michael Fisher]

I really like the name Liberty Tree.

Will these classes be free?  Have you thought about starting up a local Free Learning Exchange group like this one?

I'll try to promote the idea locally and let you know what happens.

I would rather not see the school limited in that way.? There might be some very worthy instructors who would like to be paid for thier efforts.? But then, maybe it will be up to some others of us to open the for-profit school.....

BTW, there was a great self-referencing school name that included Stark as both the Revolutionary War general and also the usual English meaning of 'stark' which I think someone vanished from the board.

Not concerning the name, but the curriculum.
I would be willing to teach classes on Shakespeare that is not dry and BORING. I have been working with the New England Shakespeare Festival for the last eight years, and we are anything BUT boring. It would be a hands on approach, teaching by doing type class. Lots of fun.
Send me a message if you are interested.

Hey, sounds cool! I love Shakespeare. Favorite play of all time, "Much Ado About Nothing"

Reading Shakespeare in High School was O K, but, the real fun was seeing it performed at the, now defunct, I believe, Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, CT.
Shakespeare on The Housatonic!

Alan, that would be awesome!  I'd love to have my daughter attend, and I'd enjoy it too. 

BTW, we were talking about running a free series on libertarian type ideas.  The rest of the classes would be for-profit, the exact fee determined by the instructor.  Each instructor would be responsible for contributing to the cost of the room ($20 or $30, depending on the size) and some money for advertising.  All the rest of the class fee would go to the instructor.

So, is there a final concensus on the name of the school?
