STOP AND THINK – The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts. (C. S. Lewis, British scholar and Christian apologist)
Teachers might feel that their students’ minds are clogged with untruths and exaggerated values because of the influences of modern society. So, they want to wipe the thinking slate clean. It’s better, however, to teach learners how to think logically and critically to open paths of understanding and the ability to make sound judgments.
I have written [my letters to you] as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking (2 Peter 3:1).
