They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

bounds It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that

takes place in schools and the whole universe of

informal learning The agents of education can rangefrom a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has a certain

predictability, education quite often produces

surprises A chance conversation with a stranger

may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People are engaged in education

from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life

formalized process, whose general pattern varies

little from one setting to the next Throughout a

country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take

exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an

understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subjectbeing taught For example, high school students

questions.

Orchids are unique in having the most highly

developed of all blossoms, in which the usual male and female reproductive organs are fused in a single structure called the column The column is designed

so that a single pollination will fertilize hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds, so

microscopic and light they are easily carried by the breeze Surrounding the column are three sepals and three petals, sometimes easily recognizable as such, often distorted into gorgeous, weird, but always

functional shapes The most noticeable of the petals

is called the labellum, or lip It is often dramatically marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its

pollinator

To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use

appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents

At least 50 different aromatic compounds have been analyzed in the orchid family, each blended to attractone, or at most a few, species of insects or birds

Some orchids even change their scents to interest different insects at different times

Once the right insect has been attracted, some

orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses

to make sure it does not leave until pollen has been accurately placed or removed By such ingenious adaptations to specific pollinators, orchids have

avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the wild, assuring the survival of species as discrete

identities At the same time they have made

themselves irresistible to collectors
