Talk about education | What is the essence of education?

Here's a preview to everyone, the "personality chat" in the future should be carried out with the "16-type personality MBTI" first.

Education is important, but also dangerous...

Education is actually a very dangerous thing! No matter what you teach a new born person, most of them will not doubt, or even the concept of "doubt"; therefore, he has no way to judge the so-called " right or wrong " . Under such a situation, if you want him to become a person, there is a way to control it; even if it seems wrong to outsiders, but being taught this way since childhood, it cannot be changed at all. Thought, once it is deeply rooted, it is difficult to uproot it and plant new seedlings.

Education is very important, it affects himself, but also the people around him, and even the whole world. If education is so important, what exactly should be taught?

What is the essence of education?

Education is different in every country, place, and school. For example, in Taiwan, people are accustomed to using constant examinations and reading, hoping that they can achieve a person with practice. In the United States, there may not be so many homework, so they choose to give students More diverse development.

Which one of these education is better, I won't make more comments here. What I want to discuss today is what is the "essence of education" ? After all, what kind of education to choose and how to educate, this is the core question.

So, what do you think is the essence of education? To cultivate quality? To make everyone change? To learn? Or to let everyone get rid of 22K?

Richard Levin once said: " If a student graduates from Yale University with some very professional knowledge and skills, this is the biggest failure of Yale education. " This sentence said that the president of Yale University (1993-2013) believes that education is not just to teach knowledge, but to cultivate the ability to think critically and independently, and give them a way to survive in society.

"Education does not change the living environment, but it can change the way people think" ; this sentence also has the same concept as the above words; it is not " directly helping you change, but allowing you to change ."

"Education does not teach knowledge and skills, but it enables people to be competent in any subject" ; as long as they are given independent abilities, they will have a way to accomplish what they want to do and learn what they want to learn. This should be regarded as a "cure for the root cause" ; if you just keep teaching new knowledge and let the students follow the "process" , then there will be no cure for the symptoms at all.

The essence of education is independence

For me, the essence of education is "independence" . The so-called independence refers to a person who can have "the ability to think critically and independently, and know how to make himself alive"

Okay, today I will briefly share what I think is the essence of education; what do you think the essence of education is?
