So What is Education?
Is it a high school diploma, a GED, a bachelor’s or even a Master’s degree?
You can be well educated without having any of these things, If you know what Education means!

Education
 Any process that shapes the potential of a maturing organism
 Determined by the knowledge skills or discipline of character
 Basic skills, academics, technical, discipline, citizenship
 Using inspiration, visionary ambitions, creativity, risk, ability to bounce back from failure, motivation

Education can come from:
 Reading
 Travel
 Watching videos or TV
 Asking questions

Getting an Education
 Not given an education by attending school
 Education is not a spectator sport
 Self directed
 Learning can only be done by the student
 Teachers can not insure the student remembers a thing

To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks. ~A.A. Milne
Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. ~Will Durant
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. ~John Dewey

An Educated person is one that not only knows where to find the information one needs to know, but also is able to use that information productively!

We learn...
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we both hear and see
70% of what is discussed
80% of what we experience personally
95% of what we teach to someone else
– William Glasser

Education can not be Tested
 Test can not measure intelligence or ability
 How the mind processes information
 How motivating experiences develop persistence
 How the mind sorts out instincts, opinions, evaluations, possibilities or alternatives

“Knowledge has not value, it’s like a dictionary filled with words.”

 Words by themselves have no value, it requires putting them together to have value
“Knowledge only has value when used with a process and process in an artificial environment is not predictable or measurable”

The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth. Now this idea cannot be applied to all the members of a society except where intercourse of man with man is mutual, and except where there is adequate provision for the reconstruction of social habits and institutions by means of wide stimulation arising from equitably distributed interests.
And this means a democratic society.
John Dewey

William Butler Yeats

Schooling
 The process of molding minds and behaviors according to the interest of some particular group.
 Teacher is doing the drawing out of what they believe to be in the best interest of the child
 Authority required to decide what is going to be counted as correct
 Memory and academic
 Not a choice
 Access to learn, does not have to learn

Winston Churchill

Teaching to a test
 does not inspire or motivate anyone
 memorizing does not inspire a love to learn, it turns off the desire to learn
 Standardized tests are creating failure labels

Tests label everyone that is enable to put thoughts on paper as a failure!
What is exercised grows stronger, what is ignored stays dormant
School stresses academics, leaving natural skills out
