Schooling.......................................

"There are certain basic needs of every individual who has to cope as effectively as possible with the future.  An individual needs to be a free man, a convertible worker, a continuing student, a creative spirit, and a Believer in a Power greater than himself....His mind must be free - free externally from demands for the orthodox and denial of access to information, free externally from situations imposed by ignorance and inadequate thought process....His basic education should be of such broad applicability that he can enter a variety of occupations and be in a position to profit from additional training if the need arises....equipped to learn on his own and aware of the necessity of doing so.  As Margaret Mead said, 'In today's world, no one can complete an education.'"
-Peter Richmond, as excerpted from here
