Why Education Is So Important, Isn't It?

Education is not to reinforce certain ways of looking at the world, he says. Instead it should teach people to see beyond what they believe to be true. When i was at school,. education was a much more flexible thing. It was much less driven by curricula. I may have been lucky in that i had very good teachers. What we were taught went with the passions of the teachers. And actually, you will never go wrong. If if you have good teachers who know a lot of stuff, and you allow them to talk passionately about the things that impassioned them, you communicate. You teach a way of thinking about the world which is different from your own point of view.
