I am of the opinion that the permaculture coursework can be taught in a
formal classroom setting. Most of us had to sit through hours of lectures
sipping on cold coffee and waiting to take a ciggy break, regardless of
whether we smoked. My wife was a day student over the course of 2 weeks and
a PC teacher friend gave her course over 4 weekends (all in Texas). She is
of the opinion that you gotta get the students outside swalin' 'n bermin' or
the lecture has no impact, much like prison. There are many ways to impart
the core information, just as long as you stick to the curriculum.
