from Huxely's Island ...on education : island.org primenet.com How early do you start your science teaching?" "We start it at the same time we start multiplication and division. First lessons in ecology." "Ecology? Isn't that a bit complicated?" "That's precisely the reason why we begin with it. Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very first that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and the country around it. Rub it in." "And let me add," said the Principal, "that we always teach the science of relationship in conjunction with the ethics of relationship. Balance, give and take, no excesses---it's the rule of nature and, translated out of fact into morality, which ought to be the rule among people. [...]" (so they learn at very young ages no man is an Island ...morality born out of observing the give and take of life, balance and restraint and seeing themselves part of a greater whole .) * Huxely's thoughts are still as clear today as when i first read him far back years ago. ;-)
