important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity
has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but

of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”

is compassion not part of our established curriculum,
an inherent part of our education? Compassion, awe,

but belonging to everyone, every child in every school."
-- Yehudi
Menuhin

In
my mind, the purpose of education is to enable human
beings to develop to their full potential, intellectually
and spiritually. That means that students have to
be empowered to pursue self-knowledge and the skills
that will help them be of service to their fellow
human beings. Education should encourage people to
develop their curiosity about life; above all, it
should not trivialize either the students or their
lives.
-- Michael
Nagler

think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask
