7. Light-Seeking and Light-Sharing Education

Seeking light as pursuit of reason and not of mere information, as pursuit of wisdom and not of mere knowledge

Promotion of seeking and sharing reason and wisdom as the basic process in education;

'Reinventing' the teacher as a 'sharing and learning facilitator' and of textbooks as channels of learning instead of authoritative 'last word' on anything.

Recognition and enhancement of sources of knowledge, skills and wisdom outside the school systems

Promotion of less-structured education systems for children that would encourage and enhance intuition, aesthetic appreciation and creativity, respect for self and others, love for all life, predisposition to team play, and basic spirituality.

Critique and repudiation of current data-memorization-based, competition driven, grades-indicated, teacher-centered & commercialized educational system, programs & policies

Various Quotes on Education*

“I am always ready to learn, but I do not always like being taught.”-- Winston Churchill

“The founding fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on their parents. So they provided jails called school, equipped with tortures called education.” – (Anonymous)

“Education is the state-controlled manufactory of echoes.” --Norman Douglas

“School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, and brutal violations of common sense and common decency.” – H.I. Mencken

“You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” – Galileo

“I never let schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark Twain

“There is too much education altogether, especially in American schools.” – Albert Einstein
