In our education system, we are taught to munch figures and remember them for lifetime. But does it help? We are not taught how to make decisions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Education can help all Americans live longer, healthier lives. Teaching students to make healthy decisions can improve habits now and instill healthy eating habits for a lifetime.
We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
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.
We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.
With the chronic obesity in America, it's more important than ever to not only feed kids healthy foods but to teach them how to make healthy choices on their own.
We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection.
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
Our everyday lives are filled with complex decisions. We long for simplicity and ordinariness.
