Anyone learning without thought is lost, anyone thinking but not learning is in peril. What you allow in at the beginning of a new learning cycle affects the final fruit. In education we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life. Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things the student wants. Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.
Education is the process of changing blissful ignorance into some other kind of ignorance.
The most widespread form of compulsory education is experience. Another thing an education should include is the knowledge of what to do with it. Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains. Technology enables man to gain control over everything except technology. Technology improves things so fast that by the time we can afford the best, there's something better.
