The poem and implications for education

Submitted by Deborah Hazen on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 11:58am.

If we accept that the nervous system is designed by evolution to be an explorer then we need to think carefully about what happens to mold kids into a response pattern that does not demonstrate that kind of curiosity.

What is the purpose of education? Before we talk about manipulating the brain, do we have a point or purpose? How in sync are the goals of education between different schools/communities, between lower school/middle school/upper school/college?
