Welcoming all participants to the 9th batch with this quote from J Kirshnamurti
The problem, ... is not the child, but the parent and the teacher; the problem is to educate the educator.
The [child] is there to be guided and helped; but if the guide, the helper is himself confused and narrow, nationalistic and theory-ridden, then naturally his pupil will be what he is, and education becomes a source of further confusion and strife.
If we see the truth of this, we will realize how important it is that we begin to educate ourselves rightly. To be concerned with our own re-education is far more necessary than to worry about the future well-being and security of the child.
From Krishnamurti's "Education and the Significance of Life"
