How do you create a great society?  Teach all the children how to contribute as they grow up – to learn what happens in the society, how they can fit in, and how they contribute. 

Sadly, we stopped doing that a while ago – without an equal and generous system of education that emphasizes the interrelationship of individuals,  we can’t have good, responsible teachers.  I must admit that when I first started teaching here, I was impressed by the sense of purpose my colleagues all had.  I don’t feel that any more.
