Sometimes I think there's very little I've ever really learned in my life. But I know for sure that nothing, and I mean nothing at all, tastes better than a glass of water, a bowl of longans, two dates and a cup of hot sweet tea when you've been fasting all day. And somehow that's enough.

Excellent. This is what holistic education is all about. :)
I have a private theory (about to become public) that reducing the scope of what we cover in school would result in a truly rounded education. I reckon that ballroom dancing, cookery and synchronised swimming covers all the bases.
We could usefully not just not teach the other stuff but actually ban it. Then everyone would do it in all the free time the reduced syllabus would give. Imagine just how much real reading of Literature would ensue if we sensibly forbade it.
Actually, banning certain books and disciplines would probably lead to a renaissance of interest in them. Especially if you put the former in the library under 'adult serials' and taught the latter in 'mature audiences' classes.
By 'ballroom dancing, cookery and synchronised swimming', you really mean 'biology, chemistry and physics', don't you? *grin*
I think my own 'forbidden' blog is being used as a bootleg education source these days—or at least that's what some young flatterers tell me.
