Academics In a world of trivial knowledge, the plight of education becomes difficult to isolate, let alone resolve. Our primary purpose, the acquisition of knowledge for personal enlightenment, often becomes overshadowed by grades, exams, meaningless facts and loss of individualization. | However, as the learning process unfolds, ‘“‘school’’ is revealed not as an institution, but as a personal inquiry. The true challenge and ulti- | mate achievement: to utilize available systems, to gain, to grow, not by the passive absorption | of everyday events, but by an active pursuance | of what the individual student deems valuable. 42
