The purpose of every educational system is to prepare humans for life. Supposed this we should include at least two new school subjects - meditation and a teaching on HOW to consume information. We see our body as a machine but tend to exclude our mind.

- radu_floricica 17y agoBefore we put meditation in schools we'd have to scrub it really really well from any traces of religion. We'll be able to do this in some years, with all the active research in meditation, but right now I don't think we can.
- swombat 17y agoThe purpose of every educational system is to prepare humans for life. That may be its stated purpose, but in practice, the results seem to be rather different. Unless, of course, your definition of "prepared for life" is vastly different from mine.
