Education is the single most important item in the world today.
How important is it to a child to learn how to walk or talk. How important is it for a person to feed themselves or dress themselves, do their hair, have a shave or put on makeup. Do we teach these things or are they learned by the individual. If we force individuals to learn on the fly are they learning correctly? If they do not learn correctly how can they pass it on to others.
Let us be a little more specific. Let us split this into two groups, the high educational, doctors - layers etc. .. and the everyday items that all of us come across.
Education starts from day one. A baby that cries can be taught or educated not to cry for attention. When a child starts to stand, do we teach it to stand and walk, or do they do it on their own. This opens up a larger area discussion. Those who want to learn will learn and learn faster than those who cannot learn. Do those who cannot learn, are they telling themselves they cannot learn? Do these people know in themselves that they cannot learn or have they never been exposed or taught how to learn?
Here we have opened a can of worms. Are we supposed to teach or are we supposed to teach how to learn?
