The Goals of Education

01/07/2010

The high value put upon every minute of time, the idea of hurry-hurry as the most important objective of living, is unquestionably the most dangerous enemy of joy.
Herman Hesse, 1877-1962, German author

In her popular book, Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching, Lilian Katz shares her views on what education is all about:

"...To me, it is about developing in the young certain dispositions. These dispositions should include being reflective, inquisitive, inventive, resourceful, full of wonder (wonder-full), and perhaps puzzlement too. These dispositions should also include the habits of searching for evidence; they should also include the dispositions to be tender, courageous, caring, compassionate and include some humor as well."
