RE: The Examined Education | Questioning the Current State of Education

in #life7 years ago

Thank you for writing! It's amazing how I was just reading about the orthodox education method from another author. Without questioning, examining, etc., the student's intelligence is denatured in my opinion. The origin of what is taught, the reason for what is taught, etc. are completely lost in the orthodox method of "teaching".

It's interesting because this would not happen if everyone had questioned to begin with. If students were taught to think for themselves and question, then this problem would be finally removed. Unfortunately, the "teachers" were most likely taught along the same lines.

Great post. I'll be following for more!

Thanks for your insight! Questioning is a skill that is far too underdeveloped in the current state of education. We need to teach kids and even adults that questioning each other is an important and vital aspect of learning.
