In her insightful book, Intellectual Emergencies: Some Reflections on Mothering and Teaching (which is included in our Holiday Sale, see below), Lilian Katz observes....
"The goal of education is not enjoyment; that is the goal of entertainment.... The goal of education is to engage the minds of the learners so that their understandings of significant phenomena and events become deeper, clearer, and more accurate. When we succeed at engaging their minds in such things, they find it enjoyable. But, though enjoyment cannot be our main goal, it can be a by-product of good teaching."
