RE: Nonverbal Education in Aldous Huxley's "Island"
This reminds me of the current movie Captain Fantastic, which is about a homeschooled family trying to find this same balance between book-learning and direct experience. They're more focused on the physical and athletic aspects than I remember Island being, though I read it years ago and my memories are incomplete.
I wrote something quick and subjective about CF here:

Interesting. I haven't seen the movie. Maybe I shouldn't read your post yet because of spoilers?
They do some hardcore rock climbing as a team in Island.
I'd say teasers at worst. Nothing that the movie company wouldn't show on its own trailer site.
Maybe I should re-read that one. I'm working on a column about how the education of children is shown in SF generally, and that's a great counter-example.
Ok, thanks. That's a nice idea for a column.
