Not sure where this section will end up. Obviously every society needs to have a lifelong approach to learning - and there are overlaps with communication and ritual here. But what's the best way to teach children? Do they need a structured curriculum to make sure they cover everything?

Since I'm interested in Steiner's approach, I'll probably start off with that. Some starting points:
