STOP AND THINK – The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically… Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
Education is certainly an essential element in our growth and maturity. Along with the accumulation of knowledge, we must gain understanding and use what we’ve learned. We haven’t taught if the student hasn’t learned—not just the “facts” but the ability to apply the facts in keeping with an ethical standard.
Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance. (Proverbs 1:5)
