Transcending Violence

An interesting article in the International Herald Tribune on schools in the DC area and their new teaching techniques.

Sandbagged by excessive school violence, the administrators took the gutsy step of teaching transcendental meditation to the kids. The students are now calmer, and violence has been quelled noticeably.

The article is quite good, but I don't have time to throw my two cents in about this. Check it out for some lunchtime reading, though.
