Everybody has a different view of the relation between religion and education. Protestant churches in Germany and Scotland invented public education so that everybody would be able to read the Bible. A multitude of other purposes has come forward, along with purported reasons not to teach some subjects. We cannot have a meaningful discussion of the matter in its full political sense without knowing what these ideas are, where they come from, and where they would lead us. That could be the subject of another Discovory book, but it certainly isn't the subject of this one. We are going to stick with what's in the XO and Sugar plan.

How Education Can Work 

The education theories at the heart of the XO and Sugar projects come from a number of people, most prominently Seymour Papert. Here are some of the sources for his work, and others that i found helpful. If you follow up on these, you will discover others.
