Once again, this is a great beginning to a much-needed topic of discussion.  I'd like to encourage all members to pick a class topic (or to add one to the list in the appropriate part of the curriculum).  Once a class or topic is selected, I'd like to see a discussion of what that class would involve, i.e. a short synopsis. This discussion should also include recommended textbooks for each class (trying to limit texts to 3 or less to minimize expenses). This call for discussion is not limited to the gray hairs around here. New people and seekers should also pipe in.  How else can we establish what we are going to know, what is needed, or what is being sought?  There can be no learning without both teachers and students jointly involved. *p*Here again, I would like to include the best of these ideas, discussions and formulations on a site within the Summerlands Public Library.  It would serve to attract students and additional discussion relative to the needs of a Druidic seminary.  Such a site would also go a long way toward establishing credibility for a Druidic approach to education and standardization of requirements as to what a Druid actually is in today's world.  Let's be the standard setters and wait upon no other groups to push forward with this effort.*p*Searles*p**br*Beirdd wrote,*br*: <<<<<<ATTENTION: These reposts had *br*: originals that engendered many responses.
