Two new links on the crucial topic of education.

Not the usual...

"Sudbury" and "K. Education/ Significance of Life" links-- read as much as you can of 'em... worth reading.

A quick sample from the opening of chapter 3 in Krishnamurti's book, "Education and the Significance of Life":

"MANY of us seem to think that by teaching every human being to read and write, we shall solve our human problems; but this idea has proved to be false. The so-called educated are not peace-loving, integrated people, and they too are responsible for the confusion and misery of the world.
The right kind of education means the awakening of intelligence, the fostering of an integrated life, and only such education can create a new culture and a peaceful world; but to bring about this new kind of education, we must make a fresh start on an entirely different basis."

HOWWWL!!
