seths blog: purpose of education and schooling today: "fundamental purpose of education: to understand and be able to think critically within a range of mediums, ideas, and subjects fundamental ..."
Hey, Seth, I think you are onto the critical thinking part of it, but there is so much that exists with education, as a result of the educational process, with students and with students and teachers.
Building on what you said, and adding to it, the following: creating and dialoging on are essential energies for an educated and open mind, having already been fostered by critical thinking. When we educate ourselves, we still will seek others for enriching our perceptions, adding to our knowledge and bringing a sense of community to our efforts.
Is this what the founding voice of American education had in mind when he said that education was psychological and sociological? Maybe, maybe not. But, it does free the student from being in the classroom and moves forward the dialog on what education really is.
