Education

Big Questions:

What is education? What is the purpose of Education? How should we as a society educate? How should we change our schools/society so we can educate 'better'? What is the difference between training and education?


Contrasting Views on Education:

1. Student decides what to learn vs. Teacher/Parent/Government/Business/Religious Institution/Voters/Experts decide what is taught

2. Education is meant to help the student fit into the world as it is vs. Education is meant to help the student see what is wrong with the world and change it so that the lives of all are improved

3. Education is meant to get you a job vs. education is meant to help you become a more open-minded thinker who pursues interests you enjoy

4. Education is an open-ended process; we are always questioning what education should be vs. we know what education is and we just need to apply our knowledge to best educate everyone.

5. Education happens in schools vs. education is an ongoing endeavour; you learn from movies, sports activities, work and advertising. You cannot avoid learning something and being influenced by 'educational' experiences.

​
