Quote of the day from google.... Malcolm Forbes.....Educations purpose is to replace an empty mind......?

Question

with an open one.

thoughts on this please would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Education does not replace an empty miind.

It teaches us how to use our minds to develop our intellect.

In so doing it enriches our lives.

The ideal is  to never  stop learning.

That, to me, is the ideal life.

Answer 2

I would have said it is to enrich the mind

Answer 3

Hi that is so true i love it Jackie Hugs

Answer 4

The answer is, all elements in the opening paragraph and more, relate to education and all should be considered. This would be ideal and sounds good, but "all" is not possible where performance must be measured. Only what can be measured will be selected and the measuring tool is the written test. Anyone who does not have the ability to put clear thoughts on paper is labeled a failure. All natural skills, including knowledge processing, does not count. The fact is, what is exercised grows stronger, what is ignored stays dormant. The classroom exercises the collection of academics, leaving all other natural skills in the closet.

Answer 5

In those days it was believed that Macaulay's System of education in India was highly flawed since its aim was to produce clerks for the British in India.

Answer 6

for sure,to fill with knowledge and broaden the mind is good ;)
