I see we agree on a lot in our opinions on education. I am not surprised 
.
awareness of wellness... yep that is the 'to flourish' I mentioned in my previous post. I also see a great hole in our schools in this regard. And what you mention about functioning - this is also present in our medicine that tends to the psyche. Functioning seems good enough, when it really should not be.
I had to smile when reading about what you say about students needing space/time for them to learn more about themselves. I was writing something similar a page previous in a response (but decided not to post it cause my version was really long).

Indeed. The sadest thing is that there are teachers who would like to bring more to their students but there are two problems in this regard. One is that many do not know what it is that is actually missing - what to bring to fill the hole. Another is that there is no space for that in the curriculum and (even if there was space) the school would probably not allow it.
I've been looking into the tricking thing a little.
I would be curious to hear more about your ideas on how to bring more 'light' (education for the soul and spirit) into our schools.
