Notes from Group Discussion: What is the object of education?

Submitted by Angela DiGioia on Sun, 10/24/2010 - 10:54am.

Group members: Abby, Angela, Bennett, Elana

E: The object is to make children feel like people; respect them, listen to them, treat them like people that are knowledgeable.

AD: Teachers should be facilitators; education should be engaging

Abby: Differences between Montessori and Traditional Education; differences in responsibility and structure

Bennett: Do you remember things from grade school?  What are they?  Why do you think that you remember them?

Overall objective: students are respected and, after years later, are able to apply the skills to the current situation.  Students have a certain consciousness in the real world; they seek out what is new and unknown to them to expand their knowledge.
