The Spirit Of Education

By: jeff white
  • Summary

  • In this podiobook: What is education? It's a term we use every day to describe the process of putting 25 or 30 young souls into a cinder block room and filling their heads with what-all over the course of the first quarter of their lives. But is that education? True education is not a process of pouring in from without, but of calling forth what is within. It's not a process of memorization, it's a process of nurturing, of allowing, of evoking. It's a process of bringing forth the person one is meant to be. "...one of those books that provides a banquet, not a morsel, of food for thought." --education review Any donations made to this book will go directly to First Book, a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing books to children from low-income families.
