Education: Preparation or...Living

A major part of my education, for as long as I can recall, tended to be based on the notion that there many possibilities in life if you get a "good education", and that that good education prepares you for a better life.  Most boundaries and guidelines surrounding what was acceptable and what was not were very limiting.  The idea of an open-ended approach to teaching, allowing diversity in its natural state to exist was practically unheard of.  Integration and freedom are a part of life.  Survival and liberation are also a part of life.  Education could be thought of as not just learning things in life, but as life itself.
