Spirit of Education

What is education?It's a term we use every day to describe the process of putting 25 or 30 young souls into a cinder block room and filling their heads with what-all over the course of the first quarter of their lives. But is that education? If it's not, what is it? And what are its consequences?Education--true education--is not a process of pouring in from without, but of calling forth what is within. It's not a process of memorization or socialization or instillation, but a process of nurturing, of allowing, of evoking. It's a process of bringing forth the person one is meant to be.The Spirit of Education attempts to begin anew our conversations about education: what it is, and where it might take us.White, Jeff is the author of 'Spirit of Education ' with ISBN 9781847280756 and ISBN 1847280757.
