[Platt] Due to disastrous public education. I like your qualification, "anymore." Back in the days of spare the rod, spoil the child, education was higher quality.
[ron] Also keep in mind that social blind obedience seemed to be an unfortunate side effect Of that method. Question is, how do you endorse the free intellect mentality when the Method used is oppressive and draconian in a force fed manner. Your modeling your students For an institutional life, taken care of with no real need to think independantly. When people do And become distressed they are encouraged to take anti-depressants and seek consol. If you encourge individuality then it is pushed to its limit and nothing is learned You have a society of "victims" with no knowledge or discipline just an enhanced Subjective view. Question is how do you inspire the "want" the "discipline to learn"? How do you first Teach self discipline and then the thirst for knowledge As a standard? When the question was asked who should be paid the highest in society, I say the teachers. That position must be valued by a society or the society Degrades. High Art means little to a vandal. I feel academia is reversed, with most of the prestige going to Secondary learning. The battle is at the primary levels, kindergarten , 1st, 2nd When learning traits are developed. Knowledge is'nt obtained by a whack o'the head- Or I'd be frigg'n Einstein by now. But it has made me wiser about answering With what is expected from me and not with my individual opinion. It has taught me "the nail that sticks up, gets hammerd down". That's why I feel Pirsigs 1962 paper on teaching method is so Poiant. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 8:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MD] What "moral revolution" is called for by the MOQ?
