Dr. Matt Ritter… a professor at our local university… and my good buddy… sent me this really clear presentation on the state of education in the world… very clear idea on what we as humans should be focussing on with respect to education.

I found this link on www.copenhagenize.com this am… SO COOL! These kids formed their own bike club… and as a group they ride to school even though the city where they live has no infrastructure for bikes. I imagine that over time… movements like this will convince the powers that be to include more pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Notice how the teenagers are saying… why buy a car?!
