STOP AND THINK – The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values. (William Ralph Inge, 19th-20th century English author, Anglican priest, and educator)
There are many ways to teach and many theories of education. We say that the teacher hasn’t taught unless the student has learned. But the important question is what has he learned? The student who has merely gained some facts is not yet well educated. Along with knowledge must come wisdom and discernment, resulting in the learning of principles and ethics.
For giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance. (Proverbs 1:4, 5)
