George, <<Isn't there possibly an underlying base of awareness - that, even if we are ferns, places us more or less in line with existence?>> Yes, absolutely. But the discussion started with the question of educational priorities: should schools teach children facts or teach them to develop ideas. Alex preferred facts, as do I, for two reasons, first because it's pretty well impossible to develop ideas without a reasonable command of factual material, and second because "teaching children to develop ideas" is something it's easy to say you're doing even when you aren't. The cop-out potential is huge. The underlying base of awareness you speak of is real, and deserves respect, but I don't see it as something you learn in school. Steve
