Summary: Love, Peace, and School
Comment: This beautiful international book is where I found my dissertation. Learn something new in the service of children.

Rating: 5
Summary: The seminal book for today's education reform.
Comment: If just one teacher in every classroom bought this book and began to present the ideas of love and respect, autonomy and trust in the classroom (each and every classroom in the U.S.) the questions on the news would be answered.

Many of the problems in education seem to stem from alienation of individuals in the classrooms of America. Children are forced to feel apart from the class rather than being an integral part of the class and their own individual creative learning experience. The Naropa Conference was clear and honest in the formation of the new class curriculum. Respect for each and every student. Love as the main ingredient of the daily interactions.

If just that one (as in every one) teacher, bought the book...could undedrstand the message, and would apply it to his or her life, alienation and pressure to perform would be relics of an antiquated system destined to doom and failure. Children would begin to become the bright radiant suns of learning and personal growth rather than the reflecting moons of past educational process.

Highly recommend. A must for every person involved with children, from preschool through 100.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent reading for every parent,teacher,college student.
Comment: This is an incredible book; a unique approach to integrating spirituality and education that includes writing from the Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, academic, feminist, environmental and scientific perspective. I highly recommend its use in college philosophy and education classes, as a thought-provoking selection for book clubs, and as important reading material for concerned parents and teachers. I highly recommend it.
