Too much of the education system orients students toward becoming better thinkers, but there is almost no focus on our capacity to pay attention and cultivate awareness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
There is a dearth of thinking skills - people are taught what to think, not how.
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
We need to have an educational system that's able to embrace all sorts of minds, and where a student doesn't have to fit into a certain mold of learning.
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
We have been learning since we were children how to make money, buy things, build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think, not to feel.
Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.
