Hi there everyone-- I've been following the conversation between Ellen and Hussain (re: development of heart and mind in school) with interest. I blogged on one of their topics, the intersection of meditation and school, not too long ago. Take a look if you have some time. The range of comments I received from all quarters of education were a gift and very instructive. http://theline.edublogs.org/2009/01/03/would-the-bhudda-differentiate/ -- Dina
